Helping Couples Through Infertility

Hi There, 

If there was an online study looking at couples' relationships, with the goal of trying to help couples through difficulties with infertility, would you be interested in participating? I am trying to gauge interest in a future research study. 

Thanks so much for your responses!

    I would be interested in hearing more about it.  DH is another matter.

    Notice the non-committal format of this response.  
    The realization that it's very likely that @jljdawson just created her account with the express purpose of recruiting people for this study leaves me feeling un-easy.
    Sorry for the paranoia - the internet does that to some people.

    Hi NarniaDreaming. Thank you for your reply. Just to clarify, I was not trying to recruit participants for a research study, I was just trying to see if people would be interested in a research study such as this, if one came up, but I can see how it could be misinterpreted. I currently work at a fertility clinic and work therapeutically with couples who are experiencing difficulties with infertility, so I was curious if other individuals and/or couples would have interest in contributing to the research area to help better understand factors that could help couples work through these issues. That being said, I will respect the terms of service and I do not intend to post further on this subject. Thanks!
