The Influence of IVF on Couple Relationship
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which enables infertile couples to achieve their reproductive aspirations through in vitro fertilization. However, the whole process of IVF requires long-term psychological and physiological preparation of both spouses, and will also have a certain impact on the marital relationship.
1. Expectations and pressure
Because the success rate of IVF is relatively low, couples will have greater expectations and pressure on the outcome of childbirth. In this process, the husband and wife need to face a series of procedures from the hospital, such as inspection, testing, treatment, etc., as well as the expectations of family, friends and society. This kind of expectation and pressure may lead to tension in the relationship between husband and wife and great emotional fluctuations.
However, couples can face these challenges together through mutual understanding, support and communication. In this process, they may cherish each other more, and enhance the tacit understanding and trust between husband and wife. Although there is a lot of pressure in the process of IVF, couples can spend difficult times together through solidarity and cooperation.
2. Psychological and emotional changes
In the process of IVF, couples may experience a series of psychological and emotional changes. First, they may feel anxious and nervous, worried about the results of treatment. Secondly, they may experience a sense of frustration and loss. When every attempt ends in failure, couples may feel depressed and desperate.
At this stage, couples need to support each other and truly express their feelings and emotions. They can choose to seek psychological counseling and support to help deal with these negative emotions. Husband and wife should maintain a positive attitude, believe in the progress of science and technology and the professional ability of doctors, and maintain confidence in the success of childbirth.
3. Investment of time and energy
In the process of IVF, couples need to invest a lot of time and energy. They need to go to the hospital regularly for inspection, treatment and surgery, and also need to follow the doctor's advice to make lifestyle adjustments, including diet, rest and exercise. This will make the couple's life trivial and regular, and may even be disturbed by work and social interaction.
However, couples can solve the problem of time and energy by making reasonable plans and arrangements. They can share housework and work with each other, and reasonably arrange rest and entertainment time to maintain physical and mental health. In this process, couples can encourage and support each other and work together for the goal of fertility.
4. Emotional ties generated
The process of IVF is full of hope, effort and persistence. The husband and wife will have deeper emotional ties by going through this process together. No matter what the final birth outcome, the couple will understand that their love and support are unconditional.
The experience of IVF may make couples cherish everything they have more and cherish their future families more. Whether in the process of IVF or later in the process of parenting, couples will work together to face various difficulties and challenges and create a happy family.
Summary
The influence of IVF on husband wife relationship is multifaceted. It brings expectations and pressure, and makes couples need to work together to meet challenges. At the same time, couples experienced psychological and emotional changes in the process of IVF and needed mutual support and professional help. In addition, IVF requires a lot of time and energy input from couples, and couples can solve the problem of time and energy through reasonable arrangements. The experience of IVF will also strengthen the emotional bond between husband and wife, making them cherish each other and their future families more.
