Researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln have just published a study that found that--hold on to your shorts, everyone--"Women with a history of infertility who are involuntarily childless tend to exhibit more long-lasting symptoms of distress than other women, but only if they remain childless." (Article)
Yup. Someone got actual research money to tell us that women whose central life goal is to have a child feel better when they finally manage to conceive or adopt. In an obvious corollary, they found women who are childless because they have no desire to have children exhibit fewer signs of distress over their motherhood status than "involuntarily childless" women or mothers.
