IVF: How to manage the emotional aspect?
October 19, 2021
The desire to become a mother and raise a child often makes us forget how difficult IVF can be, both physically and psychologically. Here are some tips to help you navigate this time with more peace of mind.
Educate Yourself
Have you noticed? The more informed you are on a subject, the less stressed you are. So don’t hesitate to ask your doctor and the agency any questions you may have if you’re considering support. Tatsurrogacy offers you your first consultation, so take advantage of it to learn everything you can about the IVF process.
Eliminate Daily Stress
Studies show that expectant parents become increasingly stressed as they move on to the next stage of their journey. This anxiety is due to the awareness of the issues at stake at each stage of IVF.
So try to eliminate daily stressors. For example, avoid taking on important assignments or moving.
Experience your emotions
The change in your hormone levels will make you hypersensitive to things that don’t usually bother you. Be aware of this temporary state caused by treatment; and if you feel isolated or sad, share your emotions with your family or friends.
Finally, if one of the steps fails or you decide to give up on another attempt, you have the right to be sad, since this experience is similar to that of grief. Allow yourself to experience your emotions.
