While many kinds of medical treatments are available today for couples who cannot seem to conceive, these treatments are not always successful, and often take the time to bring results. In some cases, the problem is such that no cure is known to medical science that can make conception possible for a couple. In such a situation, it is understandable that the couples undergoing treatment become very depressed, and bitterness may even start to creep into their relationship. At such a time, it can be beneficial for the couple to turn to Lord Shiva, and perform a pooja to him.
