For individuals and couples dealing with the world of infertility, the experience can be daunting, if not downright confusing.  Unfortunately, many well-meaning friends, family members, colleagues and, yes, even strangers are quick to give advice, even if it’s not desired.

In the end, it’s important that every person involved in the fertility process make the right decision for their particular situation.  And the best way to do that is to carefully choose a fertility clinic with professionals who can help answer questions and consistently offer focused, individualized guidance.

If you’ve been having trouble knowing which are the right fertility choices for you, be certain to keep the following facts in mind:

• Although others may claim to have the “answers”, only you know what is right.  Again, this is where the team members at your fertility clinic will be able to assist.  For instance, if IVF isn’t an option you want to pursue, don’t allow a co-worker to talk you into it.
• One size does not fit all.  Sure, your sister-in-law had an amazing experience with surrogacy.  But if you aren’t interested in pursuing this measure of becoming a parent, you don’t have to be pushed into even talking about it.
• You are the one who has to live with your decisions.  No one else can live your life; therefore, you have to take this into consideration when you’re making fertility choices. 

By keeping a narrow focus on what is right for you and your partner (if applicable), you’ll be able to get through the fertility/infertility process with decreased amounts of stress.   Good luck!
