The emotional support during these treatments today is of vital importance as we must make sure that the psychological processes are less affected when facing the possibility of not succeeding in a pregnancy naturally. The couples suffer an internal deterioration, they must let their psychologist guide them in sexual relations terms, they feel a big pressure from family and friends, they feel different and inside a bubble that won’t let them continue with their plans, feeling pointed and discriminated, getting angry and feeling terrible for the pity others feel for them, ending up frustrated and with anxiety that will end up in great stress, ending up in distortion of the hormonal regulation of the menstrual cycle.
The partner relationship is very affected with these kind of treatments as negotiation takes place: what to do around our infertility situation? guilt is one of the big issues that rises among the couple and in their lives, situation that again, causes stress that will provoke untrust, isolation, anger, aggression.
It is known that the emotional support lowers stress and anxiety, helping the development of the treatment and its results, having a good relationship with our partner, highlighting that at the end of the day, with or without a child, the couple will have each other.
