Fertility Results
Alex contacted me after receiving fertility test results. After nearly two years of trying naturally, Alex finally agreed to get some preliminary tests done to see if either he or his wife had a problem. Alex’s results highlighted problems, whilst his wife’s results had found no significant concern.
Alex admitted that he had never thought for one moment that his tests results would highlight a problem. Health conscious and regularly into team sports, he considered himself to be in pretty good shape. So, when we started in session, the first and most dominant emotions were shock and disbelief and as these began to clear, they were followed by feelings of anger at why this had happened to him and his wife.
Further into Alex’s session and different feelings were starting to surface. He felt ashamed for putting off getting tested sooner because he had genuinely believed that things would happen naturally given time. We also dissolved guilt for feeling responsible for so many failed months of trying to conceive.
As the different emotional layers started to dissolve, Alex worked through feelings of loss as his mind turned to how he perceived the role of assisted conception. Feelings of sadness, intimidation and lack of control were equally understandable.
Over the course of Alex’s session, he was continually amazed at not just how much emotion was buried in his system but also just how simple and doable the therapy was. He valued the fact that he didn’t need to share all the details tied to the emotions he was feeling so long as he could connect with the presenting emotion to clear it.
By the end of the session Alex was feeling much brighter and emotionally very calm. We explored the financial and practical implications of IVF treatment and these were of little concern in relation to how successful treatment would be. He felt an obligation to do all he could to turn the tables for his wife as much as himself.
Alex and his wife were successful on their second cycle and all being well plan to have a second with luck in the not too distant future.
