The study covered selected variables like well-being, anxiety, depression and narcissism. The sample consisted forty women divided equally twenty for fertile group and twenty for infertile group. Results revealed that infertile women tend to possess higher anxiety and depressive tone, whereas higher narcissism, well-being helps the fertile counterparts to bear homeostasis in their conjugal lives.
