It does seem some what unusual for so many couples to be infertile here, we have many in our area. I would be interested to know how widespread this problem is and some history from the people affected, where they have sought help and what the outcomes were.In Bali as we all know it can be very destructive and distressing for couples to not be able to produce children, as indeed it is all over the World. Particularly here where the pressure is always on, especially for male births to occur. We have found it to be a definate strain on so many couples, often ending up with seperations or marital stress. We do have some very sensible advice to offer and some couples have now succeeded in becoming parents through "timing" and diet amongst other things. Stress of course plays a big part and when a couple is under pressure from family and friends, the chances of a pregnancy are lessened. We are happy to offer free advice and news sheet to those who would like to contact us at Crisis Care Foundation, Lovina either by e-mail (in Bahasa English or Indonesian) at Balicrisiscare@hotmail.com or by writing to Crisis Care Foundation, Dusun Lebah, Kaliasem, Lovina .
