Your Pre-IVF Health Checklist for 2025
Are you planning to undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) this year? IVF can be an exciting journey, but it also involves physical and emotional highs and lows. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to prepare your body, mind, and finances before starting treatment.
Prioritizing Your Physical Health
Taking care of your physical health is essential before, during, and after the IVF process. This doesn't mean you should lift heavy weights or engage in intense physical activity. In fact, during IVF, low-impact exercises are recommended because more vigorous activities can lead to ovarian injuries. Safe and enjoyable low-impact exercises include swimming, yoga, and walking.
Additionally, it's important to maintain a well-balanced diet and begin taking prenatal supplements. By eating well and engaging in mindful movement, you increase your chances of experiencing a successful IVF cycle.
Practicing Mindfulness and Self-Care
The IVF process can be lengthy, so it's important to prepare yourself mentally for the journey by engaging in stress-relieving activities. During IVF, many things may demand your attention, so it’s essential to take time for yourself, even if it's just enjoying a warm, relaxing bath at the end of a long day. Consider including the following self-care practices:
-
Talking to a therapist
-
Getting adequate sleep
-
Doing low-impact exercises daily, such as walking
-
Trying acupuncture
-
Leaning on your support system
-
Journaling
-
Practicing mindful meditation
