Did you know that almost 1 in 7 couples experience infertility? That’s what they call it when you’ve been trying for a baby without luck for over a year. Here’s a side note shocker: in up to a third of these cases, male infertility plays a role. Regardless of where the hurdle may be on your path to falling pregnant, IVF treatment is a very successful way of overcoming it. Below we’re looking at 5 reasons you’re an excellent IVF treatment candidate:
- You ask questions
Excellent IVF treatment candidates are confident enough to ask the questions that matter to them, regardless of whether or not people think they’re silly. There are no silly questions when it comes to conceiving, carrying, and giving birth to a little human. - You’ve done research
Added to asking many questions, successful IVF candidates walk into the experience well read on the topic of In-Vitro Fertilization. They’ve taken the time to educate themselves on the details, the preparation, the procedures involved, and the risks. - You are hopeful
Although IVF doesn’t work the first time, every time, there is a very good chance that IVF will work for you. It’s important to stay hopeful, persistent, and positive throughout the process. It’s the hope that this will work that will give you the motivation you need to see this process through. - You are brave
As mentioned above, although IVF is very, very successful, it doesn’t always work the first time. And sometimes not even the second time either. You will need to be brave and strong to pick yourself up again should your first attempt not be successful. You can do it! - You are on the same page as the important people on your team
IVF is a team effort, between you and your partner, between you and your doctor, and all the other important people in your life. Make sure you are all on the same page as to your plan A, B and C, if it gets to that. You will need all the support and resources you can get as you embark on this scary, exciting journey.
