The Influence of IVF on Couple's Emotion
In vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) in assisted reproductive technology (ART) have brought fertility hope to many infertile couples. However, coping pressure and psychological changes during IVF may have a certain impact on the feelings of couples. Next, this article will discuss the influence of IVF on marital relationship from four aspects.
1. Common experience and trust building
IVF is a process that couples experience together. From preliminary examination to surgical operation to embryo transfer, couples will face many difficulties and challenges together. This process takes a long time and requires patience and mutual support. In the face of uncertain results and pressure, couples will rely on each other and generate deeper trust. They will support each other and grow together in difficulties. Therefore, the IVF process can enhance the trust between couples and deepen their feelings.
However, the treatment process of IVF will also bring psychological pressure. Couples need to face painful infertility problems, frequent hospital inspection and treatment, and uncertainty of success rate. These factors may lead to emotional fluctuations and tension between husband and wife, which will test their feelings. Therefore, in the process of IVF, couples should maintain good communication and understanding, face pressure together, and seek professional psychological counseling.
2. Children's expectations and pressure
After a successful IVF operation, couples usually welcome their own children. This is a great joy and happiness for the couple, which can deepen their feelings. However, this will also bring another kind of pressure, that is, expectations of children. After a long period of infertility and treatment, couples may place too high expectations on their children, hoping that they can make up for their regrets. This kind of high expectation may bring additional psychological pressure to children, and it is also easy for couples to have high expectations of children, leading to tension in the family atmosphere.
Therefore, after the success of IVF, couples need to be aware of the reasonable expectations of their children and give them sufficient support and care. The relaxed and harmonious family atmosphere is very important for the relationship between husband and wife and the healthy growth of children.
3. Role change and responsibility increase
The success of IVF has liberated couples from the problem of infertility and entered the stage of childcare. This role change will have an impact on the couple's life and feelings. The husband and wife need to become responsible parents from both sides of the husband and wife, and jointly assume the responsibility of raising and educating children. This role change may lead to contradictions and conflicts between husband and wife in the transformation of family roles, such as uneven division of labor and educational concepts.
In order to cope with this change, couples need to communicate and negotiate with each other to establish a clear division of responsibilities and education methods. Couples can improve the ability of parent-child education and grow up to be qualified parents by participating in parent-child education courses and other ways.
4. Family stability and happiness
IVF helps infertile couples achieve their fertility aspirations and provides them with opportunities to create happy families. Research shows that couples with children are more likely to obtain family stability and happiness. The arrival of children can not only add fun and intimacy, but also bring more social support and attention to couples.
In short, IVF has a complex impact on the relationship between husband and wife. Through the influence of common experience and trust building, reasonable children's expectations and pressures, role changes and increased responsibilities, as well as family stability and happiness, IVF can deepen the relationship between couples, but it may also bring some pressure and challenges to couples. Therefore, in the process of IVF, couples need to maintain good communication and understanding, face difficulties together and grow together.
