Understanding Emotional Trauma

For many, the decision to pursue IVF isn’t the beginning of their fertility journey. It often follows years of trying to conceive naturally, facing multiple negative pregnancy tests, enduring miscarriages, failed IUIs, or a combination of these emotionally challenging experiences. IVF can symbolise hope for building the family you’ve always envisioned.

Coping with the disappointment of unsuccessful IVF cycles can be devastating, and it’s essential to recognise and process these feelings.
