Fertility treatment in itself is a process that can take quite a toll on both you and your partner from an emotional and physical perspective. Therefore, it’s important to be prepared before embarking on this life-changing path. The preparation before receiving fertility treatments should be done a couple of months in advance, so it’s time to start taking notes on what needs to be done.

 

Lucky for you, we at LUMIROUS have prepared a list of steps that you and your partner should take to prepare yourself before undergoing fertility treatments!

5 Tips for Women: Pre-Fertility Treatments

 

Change Your Workout Routines

 

 

It’s likely that you already have a go-to workout routine at the gym. If you are someone who takes on more heavy-duty workouts, it might be wise to start changing it up. Try something with a little more flexibility, such as Zumba or yoga instead of a fast-paced spin class.

Especially for women who are preparing their bodies for IVF fertility treatments, it’s time to be gentler to your bodies. Excess or harsh workouts can result in a miscarriage as well as affect the outcome of IVF treatments.

 

Start Eating A Fertility Enhanced Diet

 
 
Boost your daily intake with foods that are rich in iron, calcium, magnesium, and protein in order to promote fertility. These food groups help enhance fertility, so it’s time to start chowing down on the following food.
 
Start incorporating more nuts, seeds, and goji berries over your breakfast options instead, and eat more eggs and fish roe for your lunches. If you have access to fresh seafood, try opting for oysters and caviar as well! 

 

Take Prenatal Vitamins and Supplements

 
 
There is only so much food one can eat in a day, which is where vitamins and supplements come in handy. In order to increase the number of nutrients in your body before getting fertility treatments, prenatal vitamins, and supplements can do wonders for your system. Prenatal vitamins also contain folic acid, which helps develop your spinal cord and brain during pregnancy.

 

Prepare Your Mental Health Beforehand

 
 

Preparing mentally for fertility treatment is an essential step towards a smoother and more positive experience. Start by acknowledging and accepting your emotions surrounding the journey. It's normal to feel a range of emotions, including anxiety, hope, and even occasional moments of doubt. Establish a strong support system that includes your partner, friends, and family, as well as professional help if needed. Engage in open and honest conversations with your healthcare team to understand the process, potential challenges, and available options.

Consider exploring relaxation techniques such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or yoga to help manage stress and promote mental well-being. It's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle by prioritizing self-care activities that bring you joy and balance. Stay connected with others who have gone through similar experiences by joining support groups or seeking online communities. Remember to be patient and kind to yourself throughout this journey, as it can be emotionally taxing at times.

 

Always Communicate With Your Partner

 

 

At the end of the day, the journey of fertility treatments is one that you share with your partner. They will be your main shoulder to lean on for both support and motivation, which can make a world of difference. Your partner is the most significant person in this journey, which is why there should always be constant and open communication.

Tell each other what is on your mind regarding fertility treatments, and speak about worst-case scenarios and deep fears. Once the both of you have covered all bases, you will reach a stage in your relationship where the both of you will be able to handle anything that comes your way.
