couples need to complete several cycles to have a realistic chance of success (the HFEA says this is about 3.1 cycles per pregnancy). By reducing stress MBM will help you complete enough cycles to have a good chance of becoming pregnant.

If you are having, or are about to have, IVF/ICSI but are not OK:
if you had emotional and psychological issues before infertility, or if you are depressed, if you feel isolated and without support, or have a lot of stress with your partner, or are very worried about IVF before you start, then you really need help with these issues. Problems like these can really make success rates for IVF plummet - it may

be better to delay treatment a while to help you with these problems first, rather than suffer the higher risk of failure by going ahead.

MBM can help you but I would also advise you to talk frankly about how you feel with your IVF provider and also talk to your GP. There may be several things that need to be put in place at once to help you and to give you the best chance of success with IVF.

If you want to conceive naturally
If you don't want IVF, or have tried it and not been successful, then MBM will be helpful and has been shown to increase natural pregnancy rates.
