Being treated for infertility often brings stress and emotional upheaval. Patients have to deal with procedures and medications and schedules, focused on their goal of having a baby.
And, although people often experience success with In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF), in most cases more than one cycle will be necessary to have a baby.
So the process, and the stress, may go on for some time.
Holistic treatments may help you cope with stress and ease the strains on both body and mind. Several fertility centers in the IntegraMed Fertility Network offer services ranging from
acupuncture to counseling, to help you manage as you move toward starting a family.
