What is Seldom Said About The Alternative Trying & Planning Journey
Most will agree that the alternative Trying & Planning journey is challenging. But few can truly empathize unless they’ve been through it themselves. There’s not a lot of transparency about how hard this journey is, whether you’re going through IVF, looking to adopt, or finding a surrogate. The mental and physical toll, coupled with the unexpected logistics, is enough to astound anyone.
For high achievers, there’s also a deep sense of guilt and disappointment. Even when you know the situation is beyond your control. In a world where millions of people can conceive so easily, why are you on this path? Up until now, you might have found it easy to navigate your path in life, but this journey has thrown an unexpected and massive spanner in the works. You might feel like you’re letting yourself or your partner down, which can place a strain on your relationship and mental health.
You’re not alone if you’re struggling with:
- Emotional strain, stress & anxiety
- Financial planning
- Changing relationship dynamics
- Overcoming social & cultural stigmas
- Guilt in relation to your partner
In fact, a study by Fertility First UK revealed that almost 50% of women undergoing IVF reported significant levels of anxiety and depression due to the uncertainty of outcomes, while another study by the National Survey of Adoptive Parents found that around 40% of adoptive parents felt high levels of stress during the adoption process, and 30% of expecting parents in experienced feelings of anxiety during surrogacy (according to a study published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics & Gynecology).
