Descriptive and inferential statistics (the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, Chi-square, and t-tests, as well as the Spearman correlation coefficient, AVONA, and multiple linear regression) were used to analyze the data in SPSS version 16. Results:: The results showed that the mean total score of infertility stress was 28.67±9.85 in the study subjects. The mean scores obtained in personal, marital, and social domains of COMPI-FPSS were 15.29±5.39, 7.43±3.72, and 5.95±2.47, respectively. A significant difference was observed in the stress score between males and females (P<0.001). There was a significant relationship between income adequacy (P=0.005), frequency of unsuccessful infertility treatment (P=0.001), duration of treatment (P=0.009), and infertility-related stress. Conclusion: Infertile subjects experienced more stress in the personal domain compared to other domains. Stress scores were significantly associated with gender, financial status, frequency of unsuccessful infertility treatment, and the duration of treatment variables.
