Abstract
Infertility is a challenging situation for women with infertility on psychological, social, and physical levels. Infertility also creates a hindrance in positive psychological growth and subjective happiness of infertile individuals.

The results indicated that Psychological Distress had a significant negative correlation with Posttraumatic Growth and Subjective Happiness, while the positive correlation was found between Posttraumatic Growth and Subjective Happiness. The significant predictors of subjective happiness among women with infertility were distress and PTG. Moreover, the study found that PTG is a partially mediates the relationship between distress and subjective happiness. The significant difference was found in emotional and social distress in terms of duration of marriage.
