Psychological pressure of test tube infants with amenorrhea
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a method of culturing the fertilized egg to the blastocyst stage, and then implanting the blastocyst into the mother's uterus for growth and development. For some couples who are unable to conceive naturally due to fertility barriers, IVF technology is the hope to realize their reproductive dreams. However, in this process, couples often face psychological pressure and distress.
Social pressure and self doubt
On the one hand, the high cost and complex process of IVF make many people think that it is a luxurious and unnatural method, and sometimes it will even be criticized and questioned by others. This kind of social pressure may make couples feel suspicious and uneasy about their choices. They may begin to doubt their own value and ability, and worry that they cannot become parents or be recognized by others.
On the other hand, the success rate of IVF technology is not 100%, and couples may experience many failed attempts and waits. The alternation of expectation and disappointment will also increase psychological pressure, which will lead to anxiety and depression.
The test of marriage
The difficulties and setbacks in the process of IVF will also have an impact on the marital relationship between the husband and wife. On the one hand, couples need to face various maladjustments such as surgery, injection and economic pressure, which may lead to quarrels and contradictions between couples. On the other hand, couples may blame each other, shirk responsibility, blame each other for pressure and disappointment, and even have twists and turns.
In addition, women often need to inject a lot of hormones during IVF, which may lead to emotional fluctuations and physical discomfort, thus affecting the emotional communication and intimate relationship between couples. Long term stress and quarrels may have a negative impact on the marital stability of couples.
Social support and emotional catharsis
Faced with all kinds of pressures in the process of IVF, couples can reduce stress and anxiety through social support. They can join special support groups or communities to communicate and talk with people with similar experiences. In such an environment, they can share their challenges and mental journey with others, and gain understanding and support. This mutual aid mechanism helps couples reduce their psychological burden and enhance their coping ability.
In addition to social support, couples can also relieve stress through emotional venting. They can express their inner feelings by writing, painting, music or sports. Such a catharsis mechanism can help couples release their pent up emotions, reduce their psychological burden, and improve their ability to manage emotions.
Positive attitude and psychological adjustment
Facing the challenge of IVF, couples need to develop a positive attitude. Understanding and accepting uncertainty is an important step, because IVF technology is not 100% successful, and couples need to be prepared for failure. They can try to accept the reality and look for other possible fertility options, such as adoption or.
In addition, couples can help themselves cope with stress by seeking psychological guidance. Professional psychological consultants can provide emotional support and guidance on coping strategies to help couples adjust their mentality and resolve anxiety.
Most importantly, couples need to support and understand each other. They can jointly formulate measures to deal with stress and provide emotional support for each other. Mutual understanding, care and support can strengthen the positive feelings between couples and jointly face various challenges in the process of IVF.
Summary
The psychological pressure during IVF cannot be ignored. Social pressure and self doubt, the test of marriage, social support and emotional catharsis, positive attitude and psychological adjustment are all important aspects of coping with the psychological pressure of IVF. Couples need to seek support and help, and develop a positive attitude and emotional management ability to cope with various challenges in the process of IVF.
