STOPPING INFERTILITY TREATMENT
AND MOVING ON TO OTHER OPTIONS
WHEN IS ENOUGH, ENOUGH? This question creeps
in at different moments as you pursue infertility treatment.
Enough is a judgment that is weighed individually but has
common thoughts and feelings. For many, the point of
Enough is reached when treatment fails to provide the
hoped for pregnancy and your doctor is saying there is little
else to offer hope that treatment will ever work. This choice
is more of a fact-based decision. For others, Enough is the
moment when the patient simply cannot take anymore, and
the burden of moving forward with treatment is simply too
great to bear. This choice is more of an emotional decision.
Finally, there is the situation when the choice is taken away
because of financial reality and this contributes heavily to
the decision to stop treatment.
