Psychological Support During Assisted Reproduction Treatments
At FIV Valencia, we are with you every step of the way on your journey to parenthood. 100% focused on you.
In an Assisted Reproduction treatment, emotional well-being plays a crucial role in both personal experience and success rates. Achieving pregnancy depends on a combination of closely interdependent factors—biochemical (endocrinal, hormonal, hematological) and psychological. This makes caring for your emotional health during the process essential.
Fertility treatments can be an emotional challenge, involving shifts between hope and frustration depending on the individual case. At FIV Valencia, we have specialists in reproductive psychology who are trained to help you manage the emotions and challenges that may arise during your fertility treatment.

Why is Psychological Support Important?
Fertility treatments can trigger a wide range of emotions. You may feel stressed about the process, anxious about the medication, or nervous while waiting for results. It’s also common for couples to feel external pressure, which can sometimes create tension. Psychological support can be highly beneficial, because it:
- Provides a Safe Space: Allows you to express your feelings, doubts, and concerns openly.
- Offers Tools for Emotional Management: Helps you cope with stress, anxiety, and emotional fluctuations.
- Supports Decision Making: Guides you in evaluating your options and in feeling confident about your choices.
- Promotes Positive Thinking: Teaches you how to manage recurring negative thoughts and to focus on positive aspects.
- Empowers You: Helps you regain control and confidence in your reproductive journey.
Why is Psychological Support Important with Donor Treatments?
- Processing Emotions: Considering using donor cells can evoke myths and concerns about your experience of parenthood. Issues may arise about the donor’s characteristics, the child’s health, or how and when to discuss their origin with your future child.
A psychologist with expertise in these treatments will provide accurate and realistic information to debunk myths, helping you evaluate your options and make informed decisions in a safe, empathetic environment. - Understanding Legal and Ethical Considerations: Treatments involving donor cells are subject to specific legal regulations, which vary by country. Counselling can help you understand these frameworks, including donor anonymity, the rights of your future child, and how these factors may impact your family.
- Exploring Identity and Future Conversations: Parents often wonder how and when to talk to their child about their conception. Psychological support can guide you through these questions, preparing you for age-appropriate, honest, and supportive conversations with your child.
- Addressing Relationship Dynamics: Donor treatments can affect partners differently. Counselling provides a supportive space where both partners can share their feelings and ensure mutual understanding throughout the process.
- Reducing Anxiety and Stress: Feeling anxious or uncertain is normal when considering donor cells. Counselling offers strategies to manage these emotions, helping you feel balanced and secure in your decisions.
