Lucy Froese: What Emotional Support Do You Have for the Moments Beyond the IVF Treatment Plan?

Lucy Froese, Fertility and IVF Coach, shared on LinkedIn:

“You’re given a treatment plan for IVF.

But what emotional support do you have for the moments that aren’t on it?

Your clinic tells you which medication to take.

What dose you need.

When to attend your scans.

And what will happen at egg collection and transfer.

But there are other moments nobody can put neatly into a treatment calendar.

The night before a scan when your mind won’t switch off.

Waiting for the clinic to call.

Hearing how many eggs have fertilised.

Wondering whether an embryo will continue developing.

Trying to concentrate at work when an update could arrive at any moment.

And getting through the two-week wait without analysing every sensation in your body.

These aren’t small moments.

They’re often the moments when the fear, uncertainty, and lack of control feel the greatest.

Yet many women don’t think about the emotional support they’ll need until they’re already in treatment and struggling.

Not because they’ve done anything wrong.

But because there is so much focus on preparing practically that emotional preparation can easily be overlooked.

Emotional support isn’t about forcing yourself to feel positive.

It’s having someone to turn to when your anxiety begins to rise.

Someone you can be completely honest with, without having to pretend you’re okay.

Someone who understands what each stage of IVF can bring up emotionally and can help you feel calmer and more able to cope with whatever comes next.

This is why I work with women before IVF begins and throughout every stage of their cycle.

Alongside giving them somewhere to talk openly about what they’re carrying, we do mind–body connection work at the critical stages of treatment, from preparing for injections and egg collection to embryo transfer and the two-week wait.

This helps them manage their anxiety, feel calmer in their body, and move through each stage feeling more emotionally supported and better equipped for whatever comes next.

And my support doesn’t end when our session does.

My clients also have access to SOS calls during the moments when they need me most.

Your medical plan guides your treatment.

The right emotional support helps you through it.

If you’re preparing for IVF and realise you’ve planned for the medication and appointments, but not the emotional side of what lies ahead, DM me IVF.

Let’s make sure you don’t enter treatment feeling as though you have to carry it all alone.”
