Abstract: This study explored the Infertility- Related- Stress and Coping Strategies as predictors of Mental Well-being among infertile males and females in Ibadan. The study adopted a descriptive cross sectional research design using probability sampling of simple random to recruit 333 males and females going through issues of infertility at selected four hospitals in Ibadan. Respondents’ ages ranged from 21 to 60. Sample size was determined using Taro and Yamani 1967 formula. Data was collected using reliable and valid measures of mental well being, Infertility-Related-Stress and coping strategies. Four hypotheses were tested. There is no significant difference between male ( = 38.75, SD = 6.57) and female ( = 38.94, SD = 6.74) on mental well-being (t (322) = -.220, p > 0.05).There is significant joint impact of problem focused, emotional focused, and avoidance coping strategies on mental well-being among the infertile males and females, R2 = .091, F (3,315) = 10.457, p .05. There is significant joint prediction of age and infertility-related stress on mental well-being F(5, 304) = 40.00, p
