How to prepare for IVF
Infertility is an experience that strikes at the very core of a woman. Undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) is both emotionally and physically stressful for many couples. There are steps you can take to increase your chances of having a healthy pregnancy and baby.
Understand The IVF Process. The fear and anxiety that many women feel about IVF is because of the uncertainty about the process. From the treatment itself to the side effects that accompany IVF, having knowledge about the procedures can calm those fears.
Managing Stress. Many women experience high levels of stress before starting IVF treatments. To help manage your anxiety, yoga and meditation are often used to de-stress the mind and body. Some women find comfort in going to support groups so they don’t feel alone about having IVF treatments.
Prepare Your Body. Before starting IVF treatments, it is important to be in good overall health, mentally and physically. Eating a healthy and balanced diet and avoiding smoking and drinking is advised. It is recommended to avoid any major life changes like moving or changing careers during the process.
