I would feel happier because&nbsp;I would know that&nbsp;the treatment is not a financial risk and&nbsp;I think I would feel more energetic and&nbsp;positive!<\/p>\n<p class=\"accent\">If&nbsp;the answer to this powerful question would change a patient&#8217;s experience of treatment what does that&nbsp;tell us?<\/p>\n<h2>Unsureness and&nbsp;the lack of control.<\/h2>\n<p>It is the unsureness and&nbsp;the lack of control in&nbsp;this project that&nbsp;can make the treatment difficult to go through.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This unsureness gives the patient a different kind of consequence:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unsureness about how much time to spend on&nbsp;the treatment puts the patient\u2019s life \u201con hold\u201d as&nbsp;they do not dare to spend money, or&nbsp;time, fulfilling other dreams, they are afraid if&nbsp;they do it may possibly affect future treatments if&nbsp;they are needed.<\/li>\n<li>Unsureness makes it hard to constantly keep up hope and&nbsp;motivation. The patient can be afraid that&nbsp;a negative attitude will affect the result of the treatment.<\/li>\n<li>Unsureness affects our need to have control in&nbsp;such an important project in&nbsp;our life.<\/li>\n<li>If&nbsp;we knew exactly how many attempts and&nbsp;how long in&nbsp;treatment a patient would need to get pregnant the consequences above would not be relevant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But, as&nbsp;we don\u2019t know we will give you some advice on&nbsp;how to cope with these consequences in&nbsp;a good way:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If&nbsp;you put your life on&nbsp;hold this will affect your quality of life. Live like you are pregnant when&nbsp;you are pregnant, live like you are not pregnant when&nbsp;you are not pregnant! When&nbsp;it comes to the financial part try to<strong> find a fertility<\/strong><strong>\u00a0treatment<\/strong> that&nbsp;includes all different kinds of guarantees, so&nbsp;it will feel less of a risk.<\/li>\n<li>It is normal and&nbsp;understandable that&nbsp;it\u2019s hard to keep up hope and&nbsp;motivation during treatment, especially when&nbsp;we do not know how long we will need to do it; we need to recharge! We need to have periods when&nbsp;we know it will be hard to be positive, you can have periods when&nbsp;you lose faith in&nbsp;the project as&nbsp;it takes too much energy to be constantly positive. When&nbsp;you feel down think of yourself as&nbsp;a battery that&nbsp;needs to recharge again. We know that&nbsp;your actions are the symbol of your hope and&nbsp;motivation, but&nbsp;if you feel low on&nbsp;energy look at&nbsp;your actions; I guess you see that&nbsp;even&nbsp;though&nbsp;you are low you still continue treatment? Yes? So&nbsp;this shows me that&nbsp;you still have hope! A woman that&nbsp;has lost her hope will never continue treatment. But, do not be afraid that&nbsp;your level of hope will affect the result of the attempt! You cannot \u2018think yourself pregnant\u2019 and&nbsp;you cannot think yourself \u2018not pregnant\u2019 either!<\/li>\n<li>We all want to feel control and&nbsp;need to feel control in&nbsp;our lives; for&nbsp;us, this is what a good quality of life is. But, we cannot control the embryo after&nbsp;transfer so&nbsp;stop trying to get control over something that&nbsp;you cannot control! Put your energy and&nbsp;the need for&nbsp;control into a different project, this can be a parallel project to the child project. Plan a trip, rebuild your house; plan an activity that&nbsp;you know will give you energy and&nbsp;an end result! It is important that&nbsp;this other project is concrete and&nbsp;that you are sure you will get a result! This way you will have an unsure project and&nbsp;a sure project, so&nbsp;as&nbsp;a parallel in&nbsp;your life you will have a project going on&nbsp;where the result will match the effort you put in!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What if&nbsp;you knew when&nbsp;you were going to get pregnant?<\/h2>\n<p>A powerful question that&nbsp;will show that&nbsp;it is the unsureness and&nbsp;the lack of control that&nbsp;can make the treatment hard to go through.<\/p>\n<p class=\"accent2\">Take action and&nbsp;try to make balance in&nbsp;your life and&nbsp;create projects besides the treatment where&nbsp;you are in&nbsp;control! This will make you feel better. Then put your trust in&nbsp;the clinic and&nbsp;that they will do their best to create a perfect embryo and&nbsp;make you ready for&nbsp;treatment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"accent3\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">Family counselor<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">Tone Br\u00e5ten<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s think of the questions which, when&nbsp;asked, can make you see things in&nbsp;a different perspective, questions that&nbsp;may help you to understand your own situation and&nbsp;reactions.
