Episode Details

Have you ever used Google Maps and been redirected midway via a better route? Think about this show as your personalized navigation tool for fertility and IVF, as Dr. Aimee shares the five things you need to know before, during, and after IVF to support yourself.

1. Be clear on why you’re considering IVF. Why are you doing IVF?

2. Realize your relationships may change. This is something I ask my patients to think about before, during, and after IVF.

3. Develop a plan for unused embryos. When you’re going through IVF this is likely the last thing you want to think or talk about.

4. Know that pregnancy isn’t always easy. Developing a support system is important during IVF and fertility treatment.

5. Understand that your feelings may linger. The feelings you had when you had a hard time getting pregnant can sometimes continue during pregnancy, after pregnancy, and beyond.
