FAQ's

1

Why do we recommend counselling during fertility treatment?

As doctors, we see that emotional stress can affect how patients cope with IVF or IUI. Counselling helps stabilize emotions, improves treatment compliance, and supports better decision-making throughout the process.

2

Does emotional stress impact fertility treatment outcomes?

High stress does not directly stop pregnancy, but it can interfere with sleep, hormones, and lifestyle habits. This can indirectly influence the treatment journey. Counselling helps patients stay mentally steady and improves overall treatment cooperation.

3

When should a patient be referred to a fertility counsellor?

We advise counselling when patients show persistent anxiety, difficulty coping, repeated treatment failures, or emotional fatigue. Early intervention helps prevent emotional burnout and supports smoother treatment progression.

4

What role does counselling play in donor-related treatments?

For donor egg, sperm, or embryo procedures, counselling ensures patients understand the medical, emotional, and ethical aspects. It helps them make informed decisions and prepares them for future considerations, including communication with family.

5

How do counselling sessions complement medical treatment at Meridian IVF?

Counselling works alongside medical care by improving emotional resilience, reducing stress-related behaviours, and helping patients stay consistent with medication, lifestyle changes, and follow-ups—leading to a more positive treatment experience.
