Psychologist

In some cases, the journey to a desired pregnancy can be longer than anticipated. Marked by setbacks in the form of negative pregnancy tests, this journey can significantly challenge one’s psychological resilience.

It is natural that coping with such a situation is extremely challenging, and therefore we provide our patients with the option to speak with a psychologist, either online or directly at our clinic. Please do not hesitate to book an appointment, as psychological well-being is crucial when trying to conceive.

The Impact of Mental Well-being on Conception Efforts

Thanks to numerous research and studies, we now understand the critical importance of psychological well-being when trying to conceive. Stress is a known risk factor for infertility, and researchers have confirmed that its impact is independent of other risk factors such as age or BMI. Stress itself can therefore reduce the chances of a successful pregnancy. Depression and anxiety have the same effect.

Support from a psychologist or support groups not only leads to a higher quality of life but, crucially in infertility treatment, also to a lower rate of treatment discontinuation due to psychological reasons. Numerous studies have confirmed a strong positive effect both for natural conception efforts and for IVF treatment. This is why we have integrated psychological services into our holistic range of services for couples undergoing treatment at GYNCARE clinics.

You can speak with a psychologist either individually or as a couple, depending on your preference and needs. More detailed information about the mentioned research, as well as the specific results obtained, has been summarized in our blog article.

At each of our clinics, we have a dedicated expert psychologist with whom you can book an appointment for your session. These sessions can be conducted directly at our clinic or, if preferred, online.
