already followed a long course of treatment in the hope of
having a baby: three intra-uterine implantations, two in-vitro
fertilisations, one ICSI (see box). She suffers from the hormonal
disturbances of the treatment.
She is in her third marriage, after two divorces. She is an
administrative worker at the local community office. Her husband
works independently and was not able to be present at the
intake. This woman
’
s distress and sadness at not being able to
have a child are evident. She makes a rather childish impression.
The following causes for low fertility in the couple have been
diagnosed:
The husband
’
s sperm is of low quantity but good quality.
Gynaecological case history of the woman:
•
Menarche at 13, no problems.
•
Extra-uterine pregnancy 2009, left side
•
Miscarriage 2012
•
One hysteroscopy, one laparoscopy
•
She now has only one ovary (right), with a low reserve of
eggs.
•
She has a normal menstrual cycle and no other known gynae-
cological problems. Her last menstruation was eleven days ago.
Woman
’
s family history:
•
High incidence of pre-menstrual syndrome in mother,
aunts and sisters.
•
One sister with bipolar disturbance.
•
Other family members have not had problems having
children.
She is asked about herself and her family history. She
describes the sadness and anger related to the situation at
home in a family with five children. Her parents had a difficult
relationship; she was the ‘quiet child’ who formed a buffer
between the parents and was often the go-between.
“
But
this meant that I did not have my own life. I did not have
the right to be difficult or to have my adolescent years. I had
no support at all.
“
Now my family members do not understand my grief at
not having children. They don
’
t take me into consideration
when everyone is talking about their children and grandchil-
dren. It is as though I don
’
t count. And my husband is very
disappointed, too.
