1. What is the chance of getting pregnant with infertility treatment?


Your doctor often tells you that as long as you keep trying for treatment, you have a higher chance of getting pregnant. While that's theoretically true, there can be a statistical difference:
For example, a couple undergoing their 4th cycle of in vitro fertilization (IVF) It should be noted that their chances of becoming pregnant and having a baby are often reduced compared to the previous three cycles of IVF treatment.

Alice Domar, associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Harvard Medical School, and author of the book Conquering Infertility, says: “Many couples find out right away that they have absolutely no way out. to be the biological parent of a child born to you. They keep receiving news of failure, they grieve, and then they resume planning to get pregnant. It takes them years to go from one disappointment to another."

4. How is your relationship with your partner?


Infertility treatment that lasts months or years will affect your relationship with your partner, no matter how good it was at the beginning. You and your partner may feel resentful, guilty, angry, or frustrated and find it difficult to communicate with each other.

In addition, couples with infertility may also experience sexual anxiety disorders. “Many long-term infertile couples begin to associate sex with hopes and then disappointments,” says Deveraux. A little anxiety about sex is normal when you're dealing with fertility problems, but you may need to take a break from treatment if it leads to feelings of isolation and vulnerability.

5. What is the goal of infertility treatment?


Many couples are so focused on getting pregnant, spending years trying every type of infertility treatment that they forget to ask themselves some important questions: Do you really want to be a parent, no matter whose child it is, or will you be happy only if you have a biological child? Will continuing with infertility treatments cost you years?
Some couples realize that they only want to be parents of their own child, they are completely uncertain about adoption. Domar once said: "Don't push yourself, or rush to adopt a child as soon as the treatment doesn't work. Give yourself time to recover and make a decision. You have to really love the adopted child as if it were your own."
And no matter what, you have to feel satisfied with your choice in the end. spouses feel at peace with the thought that they will not have children and find other ways to adjust to life without children.
