It can be
difficult to treat infertile patients, especially when they have very
unrealistic expectations of what medicine can do for them.
This is
because their feelings range wildly all the way from one end of the pendulum - false
hope, to the other end - false despair.
False hope
is the expectation that I'm going to get pregnant if I do IVF ; or that IVF has
a 100% success rate .
Patients who
do IVF treatment with this false hope will often go to pieces when their cycle
fails , because they're not able to build up the courage to try again . Because
they had such high (unrealistic) expectations , they cannot deal with the
frustration and the unhappiness and the heartbreak this causes.
False
despair is the other end of the pendulum , and just because three IVF cycles
have failed is no reason to give up ! This doesn't mean that the fourth cycle
is going to fail as well – sometimes all you need to do is to find a better
doctor !
This is why
it's important that patients find the right balance between false hope and
false despair – and the best way of doing this is through Information Therapy !
