Positive thoughts, emotions and good mood play an incredibly important role in a person’s life, well-being and health. That is why the effectiveness of the IVF program largely depends on your psychological state. Medical procedures may be ineffective if a woman feels fear of the future and internal resistance to future changes that will occur after conception, pregnancy and the birth of a child. Fatigue and depression are also not the best companions in the IVF protocol. However, if you are in a state of peace and inner harmony, the probability of a long-awaited pregnancy is much higher.
When planning the birth of a baby, even before the start of treatment, we recommend that you and your partner honestly answer a few questions. Are you ready for emotional stress and a long wait for results? Do you have any experiences related to IVF, negative experiences in the past, pregnancy or childbirth? Are you ready for the drastic changes in your life that will come after the results of IVF? By answering these questions, you will come face to face with your own fears and concerns, you will be able to make the right decision, tune in to a positive wave and gain confidence in your own abilities. At the same time, if you feel the need for psychological support, do not hesitate to seek professional help.
With the right psychological preparation, you will go through all the stages of IVF much easier and with the best result. A balanced state of mind, a positive attitude and faith in success will help overcome the feeling of anxiety and nervous overstrain that can be observed in the patient after taking medications and preparing for the procedure. In order to exclude possible stressful situations and their negative consequences directly during the IVF program, we advise you to adhere to the following recommendations:
- share your feelings, especially worries, fears and anxieties with your loved ones;
- do not be afraid of possible periods of anxiety and excitement, you will certainly cope with them;
- don’t try to control something that doesn’t depend on you;
- limit communication with those who do not believe in your success, try to avoid any stressful situations;
- find time to satisfy your desires and needs;
- discover new hobbies, such as drawing or needlework;
- support your partner, do not be indifferent to each other’s feelings and experiences;
- before visiting the doctor, write down all the questions so that you have time to discuss everything that bothers you, without losing sight of anything;
- visit a doctor together with a partner – this will bring you even closer.
