I was on medication for anxiety and depression before I started IVF. Various different events in the IVF process have had me increase the medication, and at other times I've been perfectly fine to decrease the dose...

You do need to be careful about which one you take. Some are better than others, and the one I'm on is ok in pregnancy, just so long as I wean off before birth.

It's a touch process to get through, and if your brain chemistry is messed up it just makes it harder... and some would say that the extreme levels of stress and depression can make it harder for things to work. There's been times where if I wasn't already on medication, my FS would have put me on it anyway!
