The Influence of IVF on Couple's Emotion
IVF is a kind of fertility method realized through assisted reproductive technology, especially for some couples with limited fertility, it is a valuable opportunity. However, whether this medical method will have an impact on the relationship between husband and wife has always been a topic of concern. This article will elaborate on the influence of IVF on the relationship between husband and wife from four aspects: psychology, time, economy and social interaction.
Psychological influence
First of all, the psychological pressure during IVF may have a negative impact on the relationship between husband and wife. The operation is very painful and difficult for the woman, while the man will accompany his wife to provide support. This kind of long-term pressure and anxiety often make both parties nervous and have emotional fatigue problems. In addition, if IVF is not successful, the couple may be further hit, or even lead to emotional breakdown.
In addition, IVF babies often need to go through multiple cycles, and each cycle needs to receive hormone injection, multiple examinations and other uncomfortable processes. This kind of long-term psychological pressure and discomfort will make the couple's emotions become fragile and prone to quarrels and conflicts. Therefore, couples need more understanding and tolerance in the process of IVF, and relieve psychological pressure through mutual support.
In addition, some couples may have a sense of responsibility and burden on each other because of IVF, especially for the one who cannot produce fertility. This psychological burden may lead to poor communication between husband and wife, and then affect each other's feelings and relationships.
Time impact
The process of IVF is often long and time-consuming. In order to get pregnant successfully, couples need to take medicine, receive examinations and surgery on time within a period of time. This kind of time further increases the pressure on couples, especially those who have passed the age limit. They may feel that time is not waiting for them, and they are worried about missing the best time to give birth, so anxiety will gradually accumulate in this process.
The time pressure of IVF will also affect the relationship and communication between couples. In order to increase the chance of pregnancy as much as possible, couples need to arrange their sex life and adjust their living habits. This "life clock in" mode may affect the romance and passion between husband and wife, and then affect the relationship to some extent.
In addition, for women, IVF may need to prohibit some daily activities, such as drinking alcohol and strenuous exercise. This limitation may restrict the couple's choice of entertainment and leisure activities, which may lead to dissatisfaction and depression, thus affecting the feelings between the couple.
economic impact
Test tube baby is an expensive medical technology, which has certain requirements for the economic status of couples. From genetic testing to surgery and treatment costs, a lot of money is needed. If the economic pressure is too great, the couple may alienate each other and produce negative emotions.
In addition to the costs in the process, there may be additional medical costs beyond expectations, such as multiple operations required for failure of surgery. This kind of economic burden often makes couples feel depressed and confused, which may lead to resentment towards each other, thus affecting their feelings.
In addition, the economic pressure during IVF may also involve the relationship between family and relatives and friends. The husband and wife may need to borrow funds from their family and friends, which will have some impact on the kinship and friendship between the husband and wife.
Social impact
IVF also has a certain impact on the social relationship between husband and wife. First of all, some couples may not be willing to disclose the reason why they choose IVF, which may lead them to choose to avoid some social occasions or no longer actively participate in social activities. This may make the couple feel isolated and lost, and generate hostility to the outside world.
In addition, the cyclical process of IVF often requires couples to travel to and from the hospital frequently, which will have a certain impact on their social life. They need to adjust their schedule and may miss some opportunities to get together with friends and relatives, thus affecting the social circle of the couple to a certain extent.
Finally, IVF is a very personal and sensitive topic. Some couples may choose not to share their experiences with the people around them, thus avoiding possible negative comments or discrimination, which will also have a certain impact on communication and social interaction between couples.
Summary
The influence of IVF on the relationship between husband and wife is a complex and multifaceted problem. From the perspective of psychology, time, economy and social interaction, we can see that the IVF process challenges the couple's feelings. However, for most couples, through mutual understanding, support and tolerance, as well as professional psychological guidance, they can go through this difficult process together, thus deepening their feelings and relationships.
