It’s time to stop blaming yourself for feeling worried and stressed out at the prospect of undergoing IVF. Infertility and IVF take a huge toll on couples struggling to conceive.Many women feel that if they had only managed total calmness and serenity for their protocol they could have prevented IVF failure.
The good news is that this is not necessarily the case at all!
Women who are feeling stressed out before undergoing IVF treatment are no less likely to become pregnant, according to new research published in The Journal of Fertility and Sterility.
‘Women need to stop worrying about being worried. They shouldn’t feel pressured to be a good IVF patient who is free of stress.’ Lauri A.Pasch told Reuters Health, 27.06.12.
Pasch is a clinical psychologist at the University of California, San Francisco Centre for Reproductive Health and lead researcher on this study. The study also finds that the emotional fallout from failed IVF is significant. Women are at greater risk of depression or anxiety and it can have a devastating impact on self-esteem and relationships.
As the old saying goes ‘to fail to prepare is to prepare to fail.’ Every pro golfer and serious athlete knows mental preparation is half the battle in the quest for success.
Some level of worry is completely normal  – given the enormous cost and unpredictable odds of IVF. When it gets overwhelming maybe  it’s time to use some professional help.
Mental preparation  IVF saves a lot of misery … and money.
Mindfulness Hypnotherapy offers an effective way of stopping the worry cycle. It sets you up to get the best from an IVF, and reduce the fallout from failed attempts. Studies show that  Mindfulness Hypnotherapy can double IVF conception rates, too.
So, stop being worried about being worried and do something positive for a change!
