IVF With ICSI Coping With Stress and Treatment Challenges
1 month ago
We’ve been trying to conceive for over 3 years, and repeated tests show mild sperm abnormalities. Our doctor recommended ICSI along with IVF. I am worried about the success rate and the cost, and my husband feels stressed about repeated injections and procedures. How do couples usually cope with the emotional and physical challenges of these treatments?

Couples undergoing IVF-ICSI often experience emotional stress, physical discomfort, and financial pressure. Coping strategies include counseling, support groups, and open communication with your partner. Clinics often provide clear step-by-step guidance, emotional support, and stress management resources. Scheduling treatment around work or personal life, and taking short breaks for relaxation or mental health, can help. Knowing that ICSI has high success rates for male factor infertility and that repeated cycles may be necessary helps couples set realistic expectations. Emotional resilience and support systems play a critical role in navigating the process.
