Lots of IVF
patients get confused, because doctors don't have time to answer their
questions . They turn to the internet to try to find answers, but this often
makes a bad problem even worse, because there are so many unreliable commercial
websites online, which are trying to sell their services. Sadly, Google is not
intelligent enough to differentiate between bad information and the truth, and
because it wants to make money, it often promotes the websites of bad clinics
who pay Google a lot of money for advertising on GoogleAdwords.
The good
news is there are lots of kind IVF patients online, who have a lot of
information , and who are happy to share that expertise with you. I'd strongly
encourage you to check out online patient bulletin boards and community forums,
which are designed for IVF patients, so that you can talk to other IVF patients
, and use the information they share , so you're in a better position to make well-informed
decisions.
Of course,
not all the people who post on these bulletin boards are reliable or
well-informed, so you do need to be careful. While they are great for providing
emotional support, they are often not
well-informed about the medical details of IVF. This is why you need to be
picky and choosy about what you read – don’t accept everything as the gospel
truth !
However, online
IVF communities are usually helpful and supportive , because they're very empathetic.
They've been there and done that, which is they understand the problems you're
going through . They have no ax to grind, and no commercial interest either, because
these are patients, just like you are, who will tell you, based on their own
personal experiences, what you can do in order to maximize your chance of
getting pregnant.
So, please,
reach out to them for emotional support, and they will be able to help you
during your IVF journey, which is quite likely to be full of ups and downs !
