IVF Treatment can be a positive experience

It is commonly assumed that IVF is a very strenuous treatment measure. Since infertility is a taxing experience, patients take it for granted that the treatment for infertility must be even more arduous. And this seems quite intuitive, since so many hopes are pinned on the outcome of the IVF treatment cycle !

Actually, it is quite possible that an IVF treatment cycle is a good experience, provided the patients stick to a few guidelines. IVF treatment can be a positive experience for them no matter what the outcome is. For this, it is essential to expect realistic results from IVF treatment.

IVF treatment is the best option for infertile patients to get pregnant because it has the highest success rate. Therefore, if they do an IVF cycle, they can be assured that they have chosen the best way to go about completing their family. They will never be resentful that they didn’t try enough. Being an elective treatment, IVF is entirely a matter of choice of the patients. Nobody can pressurize them to undergo IVF. Patients can freely decide what they want to do to maximize their chances of having a baby. This way, a patient has some control over what is happening to them instead of being a mute victim of a low sperm count or blocked tubes. Thus, it is an empowering experience.  In a way, patients try to craft their own fate using medical technology- and this is the best a human being can do.

Furthermore, if done properly, there are no medical risks involved in IVF treatment. Sadly, IVF treatment is ridden with misconceptions and myths. Thus, some people still believe that the hormone injections used in IVF make one put on weight or pose a risk of breast cancer for the patient.
