Are you about to embark on your fertility journey but feel overwhelmed and confused? You are not alone. The fertility world can be extremely daunting and isolating, so the team at Assured Fertility have compiled some tips that may help you navigate this journey.
Trust in the process.
You are in the hands of experienced professionals who help people in similar situations every day. Although you may not feel completely in control, they are on your side.
Be aware of the support available to you.
If you are struggling, help is out there. If you feel comfortable to do so, tell your loved ones what you are going through. For those who wish to keep their journey private, The Fertility Network UK (https://fertilitynetworkuk.org/) offers free resources in the form of webinars, support groups and forums. The HFEA (Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority) https://www.hfea.gov.uk/ also offers impartial, accurate information on many aspects of fertility treatment. There is also a huge community on social media for people to connect who are going through exactly the same thing as you.
Be as organised as you can be.
Being organised with your fertility treatment will help reduce the stress and puts you back in control. Things such as setting calendar dates for your appointments, setting alarms for medication, and checking the traffic ahead of your journey to the clinic will all help keep you organised during your treatment.
Don’t compare.
Everybody has different bodies, different protocols, different medications and different journeys. Although it can be good to connect with people going through the same journey, be mindful that it will not be the same as yours. It is easy to compare your number of eggs / embryos with others, this may not lead to a positive mindset, stay focused on your own journey.
