Is it normal to feel uncomfortable with questions about your fertility treatment?

Yes, it is completely normal for certain questions related to infertility and assisted reproductive treatment to make a couple uncomfortable. First of all, because it is a very intimate subject, so the couple may feel uncomfortable with these intrusive questions.

On the other hand, managing emotionally everything that a diagnosis of infertility and assisted reproduction treatment entails for the couple is not easy, and there can be an emotional shock because the couple's life project together is cut short. However, it is a fairly unknown subject that leads to the environment, often with good intentions, to make comments that can even be cruel.
