When gearing up for the IVF journey, it’s crucial to clear your schedule. To minimize added stress, aim to simplify your life as much as possible. This period isn’t the best time for making significant life changes or decisions, like moving to a new place or switching jobs.
If you can, try to avoid taking on major projects at work that could increase your stress levels. Additionally, consider how you’ll manage daily stressors at home, especially with family and friends. It might be helpful to ask others to take on some of your usual responsibilities. Remember, it’s perfectly okay to decline new requests for your time or involvement.
By reducing outside stressors and focusing on what truly matters, you’ll feel more in control during this IVF journey.
