IVF can be new and unfamiliar territory for many people. Exploring what IVF is and gaining a better understanding of it is of great importance in helping you prepare for IVF.
IVF is not only a medical condition but also a social and emotional condition, which can present many hurdles. It can be exhausting for you both physically and emotionally. Processing, responding to and coping with the many outcomes of IVF can be hard work. At times it can take its toll on your emotional wellbeing and how you think and feel about achieving a pregnancy or preparing for further IVF treatment. From dealing with other people’s pregnancy announcements to managing work and social commitments alongside treatment, IVF can create a lot of pressure on an individual and a couple.
Taking steps to mind your emotional wellbeing is just as important as making physical changes to your body as you prepare for IVF.
We can assist you as you move forward with IVF with specialist IVF counselling. We can help you learn to cope with the many ups and downs of IVF treatment and cycle outcomes.
