PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT

Difficulties in getting pregnant strains the psyche and affects the relationship. A variety of different emotions determines this phase of life. Tensions, stress and conflicts can arise. If one decides for a fertility treatment, then there are even more emotional challenges.

Psychological support helps to reduce the burden and to improve the quality of life. Having a good emotional basis also increases the chances of the long-awaited and longed-for child.

It is not only the treatment of the physical aspects that is important to us. We advise and support you comprehensively and focus on your physical and mental well-being. We therefore see it as a matter of course to accompany you psychologically during your fertility treatment.

Dr. Brunbauer, YOUR IVF EXPERT IN VIENNA

In modern life planning, the fulfillment of the wish to have children is often postponed. Once education and training are finished, looking for a job and starting a career are first on the agenda. Establishing a family is postponed until one has achieved professional, financial, and personal relationship stability.

There is often a long period between the first thoughts of having a child and the decision to conceive. Many couples then have the unexpected and unpleasant experience that children are not planable and feasible like professional projects are. If the desired pregnancy does not occur after a long period of time, feelings of shame, rage, anger, and disappointment can spread and poison the quality of life. The relationship of the couple suffers. In the hope that a natural conception can still work, the couple’s sexuality is increasingly goal-oriented, while romantic and sensual moments are missing more and more.

Affected couples often look for the causes of infertility in their own behavior and hope, through lifestyle changes, to improve the conditions for pregnancy. The individual life concept is questioned, the relationship is analyzed. So often a long time goes by, in which hope and disappointment alternate and which becomes a roller coaster of emotions.

The longer the desire for a child remains unfulfilled, the more the psychological burden increases. Doubts and fears, as well as the self-imposed pressure to succeed, increasingly determine everyday life. Sometimes this also leads to depressive moods and social withdrawal. The couple's whole life is focused on this one goal and personal and shared happiness depends on reaching it.

While some refuel in sports, others might enjoy a cozy dinner or a few hours in the reading chair. It is helpful to listen mindfully and consciously to decide what relieves and provides an inner time-out.
