Increased physical and mental stress
The IVF process is a difficult journey. Couples need to go through a series of physical examinations, medication and surgery. These processes not only produce physical pressure on women, but also affect the psychology and emotions of couples. They may face negative emotions such as failure, disappointment and anxiety.

These will affect the time between husband and wife and personal time. They may need to adjust their work and social activities to meet the needs of IVF.

However, couples can also reduce this economic pressure through reasonable planning and cost saving. They can look for financial support or insurance plans provided by medical institutions, share their difficulties with family members and friends, and accept financial support and help.
Improvement and strengthening of family relations
Although IVF has brought some pressure and challenges to couples' life and family relations, it can also bring new hope and happiness to couples. For couples who cannot conceive naturally, IVF opens a window for them to realize their dream of becoming parents. After successfully obtaining IVF, couples usually feel more appreciative of each other and their children.
The process of IVF can also strengthen the cooperation and solidarity between husband and wife. They need to face difficulties and setbacks together and support each other. After the IVF experience, they may be more grateful and caring for each other, forming closer family ties.
