Mental Health. Something that we do not discuss enough in general and even less so when talking about infertility. I put a huge amount of importance on talking through the infertility journey with professionals, not only with the IVF Drs but also with the mental health professionals. I believe that talking about the reasons as to why you are where you are is key to being able to move forward with your journey in a way that is positive.
There are so many people that need to grieve for the family that they thought they were going to have, but haven't. This can be for a variety of reasons, could be because they grew up thinking that they were going to have many children, it could be because they compare themselves to others or it could be because they feel that they are a failure as a human being for not being able to create a family easily. All of these things are very important to discuss and to understand. There is no right or wrong, but understanding the situation is a great way to move forward.
Couple your mental health with the mental health of egg donors / sperm donors and surrogates and then all of a sudden we can see how many people are involved and why there is a need for professionals. I had a chat with my great friend Esther Tresser Polanco from www.tressertherapy.com who knows so much about this. Happy watching.
