Thesis advisor: Stephen Pfohl<br>Assisted reproductive technologies have transformed the way medicine responds to infertility, as well as the ways those who go through difficulty conceiving understand their bodies and their experiences. In many capacities, however, the biomedical model is insufficient: recognition is contingent upon attempts to conceive, diagnosis is often imprecise or unexplained, and treatments strive for solutions without cures - and are frequently incapable of providing even the former.

När ingen orsak hittas kallas det för oförklarlig-, eller idiopatisk infertilitet. Innan diagnostisering och eventuell behandling utförs därför noga utredningar med analyser på både kvinnan och mannen. Behandlingen bestäms därefter utifrån orsak. Vid kvinnlig infertilit

Infertility and its treatment can have adverse effects on psychological well-being.

Infertility is an intensely distressing life event for couples. Fertility treatments such as hormone therapy and in vitro fertilization can be painful and humiliating for patients as well. Gender and culture also influence a person's experience with infertility: women robustly report greater distress, and cultural or religious norms concerning childbearing and causes of infertility can influence the couple's distress. Various psychological treatments have been developed to help couples cope with the stresses of infertility and fertility treatment, but the acceptance rate for such services are
