Stress & Infertility

The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) defines infertility as failing to get pregnant after two years of regular unprotected sex.

It is estimated (by the HFEA ;The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority) that one in seven couples in the UK have some fertility problems. That is about 3.5 million people. Infertility affects both men and woman equally.

Apart from pregnancy itself, infertility is the most common reason for women aged 20-45 to consult their GP.

If you have "unexplained infertility" hypnotherapy may be able to help you;

To decreases any potentially damaging feelings such as stress, anxiety, fear and depression.

To assist you in coping effectively with the sometimes painful and invasive assisted conception treatments.

To help you improve your mind set and beliefs around conception.

The basic principle behind the help I offer is that the Hypothalamus, which is the part if the brain that translates emotional massages into physical responses actually affects hormone levels.

It links the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland. The Hypothalamus is very sensitive to stress. Using a variety of methods I can help you reduce these stress levels and positively influence your chances of conception.

During stressful periods it’s easy to get stuck in a rut and lose sight of what is really important. It can be hard to keep your head and not get consumed by negative feelings like fear.
