Featured in Metro UK: How to Emotionally Support Yourself Through IVF

as featured in May 18, 2024

Reflecting on Jennifer Aniston's IVF journey in a past feature from Metro, I shared insights gained from my own five-year experience.

Here's the ‘tldr’ version of my advice:

  1. Line Up Your Support Group: Having a trusted support network during IVF's ups and downs is crucial.
  2. Tell Your Inner Circle What You Need: Communicate your needs clearly to friends, family, or professionals for better support.
  3. Create an Emotional First Aid Action List: Prepare activities that soothe stress and sadness, like journaling or nature walks.
  4. Connect with Empathetic Friends: Share your journey with understanding friends to combat feelings of isolation and shame.
  5. Feel Your Feelings: Embrace and process emotions fully to aid emotional healing.
