Valentine’s Day is the holiday of lovers, a celebration of love and tenderness. For many couples, parenthood is the epitome of fulfilled love. If the road to having a baby is difficult, the mutual support, trust and tenderness in the partnership is all the more important. At Prague Fertility Centre, we are committed to helping you fulfil your wish for a healthy pregnancy and a happy baby in your arms.
For partners who are too focused on conceiving a child, the passion in their love life often gets quite a workout. This increases the risk that the spark in the relationship will fade and that lovemaking will become a duty instead of a pleasure. It is not easy to maintain perspective, to encourage romance and to fight fertility. But psychological well-being and a happy intimate life are extremely important for good infertility treatment outcomes.
Valentine’s Day as an excuse
Is the IVF process becoming more challenging for you and routine is quietly creeping into your relationship? Don’t give in! Use Valentine’s Day as a good reason to refresh the romance between you. Forget about artificial insemination on this day. Treat yourself to loving attention, tenderness and time just for the two of you. A light dusting of luscious lingerie or a sensual massage won’t hurt either. Relaxing your mind and body will often help you get pregnant more than you might expect.
Make it nice
Whether you have an appointment with an embryologist or just your first consultation with an assisted reproductive specialist, don’t let stress and tension spoil the well-being of your relationship. For example, agree with your partner to treat yourself to your own “little valentine” after each PFC visit. Whether it’s something simple like a romantic walk or a sensory-focused bath together, reward each other with something after each visit. The journey to having a baby will become much more enjoyable for you and the two lines on the pregnancy test will stand a better chance.
Running out of inspiration?
Do you want to surprise your partner this Valentine’s Day but don’t know what would make him happy? A simple and fun solution is a Valentine’s Day wishing tree. The night before Valentine’s Day, write a few notes each containing something romantic you want and hang them on the tree at home. Then you can make each other’s wishes come true in the morning. Not only will you have an unforgettable day, but it will also make your relationship stronger and stronger. For a successful conception and a healthy pregnancy, a solid foundation in a partner relationship is a great asset.
Strengthen the intimacy between you
It may sound like a cliché, but the truth is that in today’s hectic times, intimacy in a partnership fades away quite quickly due to constant stress and tension. Fatigue and nervousness go hand in hand with overwork, which often leads to erection or ejaculation problems in men, while in women, hormonal imbalances, irregular menstrual cycles or endometriosis problems, among other things, can be to blame for reduced libido. Although the team of experts in artificial insemination and complex infertility treatment from the Prague Fertility Centre does everything possible to bring every couple as close as possible to their dream baby, the greatest benefit is the psychological well-being and intimate harmony of both partners. Showing tenderness to each other, appreciating the attractiveness of your partner and feeling supported in the peace of your home is essential for a positive pregnancy test.
