Open,honest conversation with the partner and relaxation techniques are helpful interventions for couples undergoing treatment for infertility.On average,women who undergo three IVF cycles have a good chance of achieving pregnancy.Community support groups and RESOLVE (a national education and support organization)are very beneficial for couples experiencing the stress of assisted reproduction.Certain herbs,including blue or black cohosh,goldenseal,poke root,pennyroyal,and aloe,can be detrimental to a pregnancy and should be avoided by couples who are attempting to conceive.
