It is not just the financial aspect that causes some couples to stall before embarking on IVF treatments but the fear of the process, too. While their eyes may be firmly focused on the hope of a baby at the end of it, many women are nervous about the side effects of fertility drugs and feeling out of control of their emotions.

There are many stressors at play

Undergoing any kind of fertility treatment is undoubtedly stressful. It will come on the back of many months, and possibly years, of dashed hopes; this itself can cause havoc with a woman’s emotional state, but commonly puts stress on a couple’s relationship, too. The aim of fertility drugs is to stimulate ovulation production, and the resulting fluctuating levels of hormones are likely to have a negative effect on mood. Some women fear this will exacerbate the existing levels of psychological distress.
