What To Expect When You Start Fertility Treatments
Having a baby and starting a family seems so natural, right? Until you deal with infertility, you never think about the possibility that it might not happen for you.
I was shocked when I found out I was having issues and I had no idea what that meant for my life. I had three sisters that had all conceived children and I wondered why it wasn’t in the plans for me? I was devastated.
The fears, the concerns, the questions all began to surface. I didn’t know anything about fertility treatments and if that is where you find yourself right now, here are a few beginning steps.
Do a lot of research and talk to your doctors.
Infertility is quite different from one woman to another. Even if the diagnosis is the same, the treatment can look vastly different.
Medicines used in the treatment of infertility are prescribed based on your hormone levels. You may hear of a friend or co-worker taking one medication and you may be on a totally different one. That is very normal.
The costs associated with fertility treatment can be expensive and may not always be covered by insurance. Look into your state’s resources and check your company benefits. Find out what you can do and contact a local fertility clinic to get detailed information on the next steps.
