Many of us only see the physical effect that infertility has, but those of us who do not suffer from it are not aware of the great effect it has on people’s emotional health. Anxiety, frustration, stress, guilt, uncertainty or worry, are some of the main feelings that women, men, and couples experience when facing fertility problems that are preventing them from fulfilling their dreams of being parents

In most cases, the effect of these feelings leads patients to ride an emotional roller coaster that can result in depression or periods of emotional instability that are difficult to cope with. At Dr.Pragati IVF Clinic, we believe that it is vitally important to understand infertility before even considering starting treatment. Once the person finds the attitude and enthusiasm required to seek pregnancy, the treatment will proceed. In our multidisciplinary team, we have specialized psychological counseling to help with this situation.

Understanding infertility is important

Once the couple is diagnosed with infertility problems, or the inability to conceive naturally, the first step needs to be to understand what infertility is and what it is all about. This will help us begin a process of understanding that will make it easier for us to come to terms with the problem.

A realization of the absence of pregnancy is what causes the diagnosis of infertility, which is something that must be passed without reaching despair or depression. At the time of diagnosis, anger, frustration, emptiness, and helplessness are felt first, followed by guilt, fear, and worry.

How do we overcome these feelings to shorten the grief? One of the main keys is to be clear that every problem has a solution, therefore, you have to fight to find it. Whatever the case, you have to be able to overcome your fears and be positive in this journey that you are going to undertake.

Expert emotional support

One of the main advantages of having a multidisciplinary team such as the one at Dr.Pragati IVF Clinic is the support and accompaniment of specialists in infertility and assisted reproduction, something essential at each stage of the journey to motherhood. It is not enough to accompany the patient during the beginning, but also during the treatment and, later, throughout the pregnancy. How to cope with all that this path implies? Going step by step is essential, to overcome each stage until you achieve the birth of your baby.

Be strong during assisted reproduction treatment

Yes, assuming infertility can be complicated, but so is finding solutions since it generates stress, anxiety, and other feelings never experienced. You have to be able to gather the strength to overcome some potholes that may appear along the way.

How to deal with these potholes? Psychological help is crucial, but so is practicing relaxation methods, playing sports, and leaning on those closest to you to reduce stress and prepare the body to cope with the treatment. The In Vitro Fertilization technique, or IVF, is a technique focused on achieving the union of the ovum with the sperm in the laboratory, to obtain embryos that can be transferred to the mother’s uterus.

Be patient while waiting for results

Once the IVF technique is applied, it may seem that everything is done, but there is still one last step: the result. Understandably, waiting for the result is a stage in which two feelings predominate: nervousness and anxiety. If it is negative, negative feelings will reappear. In our lives, we will realize that many times it takes more than one attempt to achieve something that is why we want to emphasize this phrase: the things that we want are not always achieved in the first attempt, but, in the end, if we fight for them with effort, we achieve them.

If the opposite happens, that the result of the pregnancy test is positive, the joy and euphoria are immense, but you have to be aware that the trip is not over. From this moment, the final stage begins the months of gestation. During this last period, emotional support will be extremely important, since pregnancy is a hormonal special situation loaded with many changes and new sensations.

All the members of the Dr. Pragati IVF Clinic team want to wish you well and give you all the encouragement and support necessary to take on fertility problems and face the need for reproductive treatment. We are here to help you take the first step and accompany you in this fight whose precious objective is nothing more than to have a healthy baby at home.
