Trying to conceive and successfully giving birth is a journey full of uncertainty. In the process of IVF, parents experience repeated medical examinations, egg retrieval, embryo transfer and other processes, and the uncertainty factors are increasing. This uncertainty may lead to psychological pressure of anxiety and worry for parents.

They can share their concerns and confusion by joining a support group or communicating with other couples with similar experiences. In addition, parents can also try some relaxing activities, such as yoga, meditation or artistic creation, to ease the tense mood.

2. Psychological confusion caused by infants' genetic problems

The technology of IVF involves the problem of genetics, and parents may have psychological confusion due to the genetic problem of the baby. They may worry that babies will inherit some genetic diseases or have other undesirable genetic characteristics.

For this problem, parents can choose to carry out genetic counseling, communicate with professional geneticists, and understand the risks of children and feasible solutions. In addition, parents can also seek the help of psychological consultants to alleviate anxiety and fear caused by genetic problems.

3. Psychological burden caused by social pressure

IVF still has some prejudice and discrimination in some social concepts, and couples may suffer from pressure from family, friends or society. These negative ideas and comments may bring trouble and pain to parents.

In response to this problem, parents need to strengthen their beliefs and recognize that IVF is a legitimate reproductive choice. They can choose to communicate with those who understand and support them and stay away from those who hold prejudices. In addition, couples can also actively participate in promotional activities on IVF to promote positive cognition and acceptance of the society.

4. Emotional instability caused by physical and mental exhaustion

In the process of IVF, parents need to go through a series of medical procedures and hormone therapy, which may lead to physical and mental exhaustion. Long term hormone therapy and emotional fluctuations may cause parents' emotional instability, including anxiety, depression, etc.

In order to alleviate this problem, parents can seek the help of psychological consultants to learn the skills and methods of emotion regulation. They can also try some physical and mental relaxation activities, such as massage, bathing or outdoor sports, to reduce physical and mental fatigue. At the same time, doctors' support and care are also essential, and they can give parents appropriate encouragement and support.

The process of IVF may bring some psychological impact to parents. Uncertainty, genetic problems, social pressure and physical and mental fatigue are common psychological problems.
