Hi,
IVF not only drains you physically but also emotionally and psychologically. I can completely understand how difficult it must be for you right now. You must have chosen IVF after a lot of deliberation, and when it failed, you must be feeling shattered.
It's not easy for anyone to go through s procedure like this.

As you mentioned you are feeling depressed, so my opinion is first to exactly find out about what you are feeling depressed and change your attitudes about that . Change your attitudes mean accept but dislike that unfortunate thing that happen to you, it is unfortunate but not end of life and It would be difficult for you to accept that you donot have baby but not impossible and accept yourself for not having babies .. without more information difficult to say to more

I'm truly sorry to hear about your previous IVF experience. If you've already tried IVF and it didn't work, it might be helpful to consult with a reproductive endocrinologist or a fertility specialist again to discuss your options and explore alternative fertility treatments or solutions. Additionally, seeking support from a therapist or counselor who specializes in infertility and emotional well-being can be instrumental in addressing the emotional toll it has taken on you. Remember, there are various paths to parenthood, and you don't have to go through this journey alone. There is hope, and seeking professional guidance is a proactive step toward finding the best approach for you.

It is difficult to bear the brunt of such experiences. If this sadness still prevails and you're unable to let it go, you can consult a mental health professional to cope in a healthier manner, it's important to not ignore such feelings and tend to them.

Hello! So sorry to know what you are feeling and going through. Please do not feel alone in such a situation as there are many women who face this too and It is quite a common problem and I am sure you will be able to find a solution. I am happy help you by counselling so you can at least feel mentally strong and stable. I would suggest you consult a few more doctors and IVF Clinics in your city, take recommendations from known people, research a little by yourself and explore more options on conceiving or having a baby. Society can add pressure to what you are going through because of which you can feel even more overwhelmed with all of this but you need to train yourself to not bother by what the society has to say. It is your life and your body, and you should be able to take decisions for yourself. People are going to judge anyway, that should not affect you. Reduce the focus on society and people, and focus on your issues and how to resolve them. If you are mentally strong, you can fight many battles, donât let your spirit down and please seek help if you feel the need.
Next Steps
Seek counselling/ therapy. I am happy to help.

Hi... Please understand, child birth is a natural but complex process. There are range of factors that might be impacting your issues, including mental health. You can obviously take Counselling for your concerns (depression) but first have a view of your doctor under whose supervision you took IVF. Also, the view of the doctor who suggested you this option. There is a medical aspect of this problem and mental health aspect of this condition (depression). Focus on resolving the root. In my practice I have seen sometimes the mind is playing a big part but to attribute that we first need the medical point of view. So that the treatment goes into the right direction.
Next Steps
Consult your Doctor.
Consult a Psychologist.
For Depression, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy will work well along with Lifestyle Changes.
