How should I behave during the 2 week-wait?
It is important to
stay calm and relaxed. Don’t go crazy imagining what the results will be. You will find out soon enough and no matter how much you think about it, you won’t be able to influence the result anyways.
If you experience bleeding between the first and second week of pregnancy, don’t fall into a state of panic. This is more common than you think - 1 in 3 women experience so called
implantation bleeding. This may even be the first obvious sign that the embryo has implanted.
Stress is never good for your body, therefore, try to take your mind off of the treatment for a while and focus on
things that you enjoy and that make you happy. Spend time with your loved ones or pick up an old hobby that can keep you busy and relaxed.
We know it’s easier said than done and that’s exactly why at
IVF-Spain it is very important to us to offer our patients good communication to make them feel, not only physically, but also emotionally prepared and supported for every step of their treatment.
