CSS was translated into Urdu language using the back translation method of Brislin. The alpha reliability coefficient for subscales of CSS Urdu version ranged from 0.62 to 0.83. The CSS Urdu version would be useful for the Pakistani population to find out coping strategies used by infertile females. In future CSS will be useful for researchers working with infertility and psychosocial issues.
