We are emotionally exhausted after years of trying to conceive. IUI seems like a small step, but we are scared of repeated disappointment. How do couples prepare mentally for the ups and downs of fertility treatments?

Fertility treatments can be emotionally draining, and preparing mentally is crucial. Couples often benefit from counseling, support groups, and open communication about fears and expectations. Keeping perspective, setting realistic goals, and accepting that some outcomes are beyond control can reduce anxiety.

Stress-reducing practices like meditation, yoga, or hobbies also help. Celebrating small steps, even if a cycle doesn’t succeed, provides encouragement.

Remembering that many couples face setbacks but eventually succeed can help maintain hope and resilience during the process.
