Coping With IVF FailureTuesday 8 July 2003
We're used to seeing stories of successful IVF treatment in newspapers and magazines - but what happens when treatment fails?

Over 80% of women who try IVF are unsuccessful in getting pregnant and their experience of dealing with this situation is rarely discussed.
A new study looking at how people cope with IVF failure will be presented to the British Psychological Society's 'Women in Psychology' conference.
Joining Jenni will be the author of the report and we hear from a woman who had to deal with IVF failure.
