We are fortunate to live in times when fertility issues can be resolved much of the time. Through technology and medical advances, creating a family has become easier for many including single parents, same sex relationships, and those with medical issues. Still there are some emotions that are difficult to overcome during this process. We hope that this gives encouragement to those facing the challenge.
Fear
The two most common concerns are fear of failure and fear of the treatment cost. Relying on good counsel from the fertility clinic, patients can resolve some of the worry. Our professionals are here to provide a sounding board and to offer encouragement. Trusting the process and your clinicians will help lessen the concern.
Empowerment
Medical reasons are one of the reasons couples turn to fertility treatments. Generally the issues revolve around:
- Inability to conceive for at least one year
- Medical risk factors
- Proactive involvement in conception
Relying on good research, education, and understanding, makes the decision easier and choosing the right option for you in your individual circumstances is critical. It will restore your confidence and convictions.
Individual Treatment
Fertility professionals should treat each client guided by their individuality and specific needs. They should demonstrate good listening skills and develop a plan designed for your circumstances, not a general treatment regimen. By outlining all of the possibilities prior to the decision, it allows the individual or couple to assess each benefit and come to the best conclusion.
Quality
No one should settle for substandard or inappropriate treatment options. It may be that you need to compare different fertility clinics to find the best fit for you. Abandoning your search after only one or two appointments, may not be optimum. Starting online, and then phone calls should help cull the ordinary from the extraordinary. Finding the best match for your medical and emotional needs is possible.
Comfort Zone
Innovations and new techniques are always being developed. Those who have been unsuccessful with more traditional treatments should not be afraid to explore new opportunities that may seem more unconventional but may be just the right combination for your situation.
Realizing the potential pitfalls, empowerment can come in a number of methods:
Planning
By establishing a realistic plan, including putting it in writing, will empower you to feel in control of the situation. It will help you make realistic and informed decisions and guide you in your efforts.
Lifestyle
Maintaining the best physical condition can make a difference in your attitude and responsiveness to treatments. By eating well and reasonable exercise, you add to your chances of conception.
Don’t feel you need to make radical changes all at once. Consider adjusting your diet gradually. If working out at a gym is more torture than enjoyment, switch activities to something that is more appealing like playing Frisbee or strolling through the park.
Support System
As much as possible surround yourself with positive support for your decisions. Ignoring negative comments will lessen any hurt.
All of this combined will enhance your chances of conception. For more information contact Fertility Match.
