Abstract
A comparison of 53 infertile women and 24 mothers who now experienced infertility revealed that infertile women reported less satisfaction with their lives as a whole. In contrast to mothers they rated life as less interesting, less rewarding, emptier, more lonely and they were less content.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
