IVF: What You Need to Do to Prepare Your Mind, Body, and Spirit for It

     Infertility is an experience that can take a huge toll on anyone’s life. Being able to reproduce is one of the most basic human needs and abilities so not being able to do that can not only largely impact one’s mental state but it can also be a big stressor in the relationship. Feelings of being inadequate or “broken” tend to overshadow the aspect that just because you may be having infertility issues, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you won’t be able to have kids.

     There are so many technological advancements that have changed the world of medicine but when it comes to infertility, IVF is the leading the way with innovative technology to give people the families they’ve always wanted. The funny thing about IVF is that despite its high success rate, people still use IVF as their last, best option, especially after years of trying the “old fashioned” way, which is okay.

If you are desperate to get pregnant and have had no joy trying the natural way, or have had no success with other treatments like artificial insemination, IVF can often help you achieve the pregnancy you long for. But what are the success rates of IVF and fertility or assisted reproductive treatments in general?
