The reality of facing IVF

If you’re here, it’s likely IVF is taking a real toll - and that makes complete sense.‍

IVF is demanding on every level, and often becomes harder as time goes on.

You may expect the physical side - the injections, the hormones, the scans, the procedures.

But few of us are prepared for just how mentally and emotionally challenging the IVF journey can be.

The impact of IVF often includes…

Anxiety, fear and exhaustion which continue to build over time.

Isolation and loneliness - from going through something so important to you, that very few people in your life understand.

There may be a feeling of your life being on hold, as the rest of the world carries on as normal around you.

Often there’s an unspoken, underlying fear, that IVF may not work.

There may be a feeling of failure and wondering what’s wrong with me?

Or asking yourself, why is this happening to me?

There can be a real sense of grief and loss around…

Not getting a straightforward journey to motherhood.

All the things you have had to sacrifice.

The life you could have been living without infertility.

The person you were before all
of this.

And if it feels like IVF is starting to take over your life, you aren’t alone - so many women experience this.

IVF is incredibly hard. You deserve
to be supported through it.
