Welcome back to another episode of Fertility Focus. I'm Maria, a personal trainer specialising in fertility. In this week’s minisode, I’m here to unravel the complex world of IVF eligibility.
Topics covered
BMI. I’ve personally supported many women who have faced barriers to IVF due to either a high or extremely low BMI. Each journey to adjust BMI is personal and unique, and I’m here to guide you through the process, focusing on building muscle mass and achieving a healthy balance.
Psychiatric history is another area I explore. It’s a nuanced and delicate issue. I understand the heartbreak that can come from being well now but having a past marked by mental health issues, leading to IVF refusal. The intertwining of mental health, stress, and IVF is a journey that I approach with utmost compassion and understanding.
Previous multiple IVF failures. In a world where resources are often stretched thin, some are told their chances of success are too low to proceed. It’s a stark reality, but I’m here to navigate it with you, exploring every available option.
The absence of a support network is another hurdle I discuss. The emotional impact of being told you lack adequate support for the IVF process or child-rearing is profound. Whether you’re hoping to become a solo parent or feel isolated, I’m here to stand with you, offering the support and understanding you need.
Inadequate ovulation stimulation response. The devastation of discovering your body isn’t responding as hoped is an experience I approach with empathy and care. Together, we explore alternatives and seek pathways to move forward.
