I am here to know if anybody has done IVF treatment because I'm 36 even then I have not become a mom so I am going to get IVF treatment. Could anyone help recommend some tips before treatment? Because this is kind of surreal for me.

I have not gone through IVF myself, although I have a friend who went through a few rounds of it. Hers was unsuccessful and they eventually adopted, though.

I think the biggest tip I have is to find ways to manage your stress and expectations. Between the hormones, the process, and the hope, the emotional stress can be a lot to carry. So make sure you've got people you can talk to. I wish you luck with it!

I can imagine how surreal and overwhelming this must feel for you—you’re definitely not alone in this journey. IVF can be both hopeful and emotionally challenging, so besides the medical side, one thing I’d really recommend is counseling. Having someone to talk to throughout the process can help you manage the stress, emotions, and uncertainty that come with it. Taking care of your mental and emotional well-being is just as important as the physical side of treatment. Wishing you strength and the best outcome ahead. ?
