For couples trying to have a baby, there is nothing more joyful than news of a pregnancy. But for couples who have tried repeatedly for a year or more, it can feel increasingly bleak, as they go through the emotional turmoil month after month. We explore how infertility can impact the mental health of couples, especially for women, with Dr Navdeep Singh Pannu, Medical Director of TMC Fertility. Dr Navdeep is also President-Elect of the Malaysian Society of Assisted Reproductive Technology (MSART).
