Studies show that stress and anxiety can cause challenges to your fertility journey, and that can amplify what you are already experiencing as a result of struggling to get pregnant. It’s time to talk about why managing stress for fertility is so important and how you can do it!
When you’re trying to get pregnant, oftentimes… well-meaning friends and family (sometimes Doctors too) will tell you to ‘relax and let it happen’.
And we all know, when someone tells us to relax, WE JUST DO.. Right?
WRONG!!! Nothing could be further from the truth. If anything, it just makes us feel totally unheard and more frustrated.
The thing is stress has a negative impact on your health, and your chances of conceiving.
Stress can do things like:
- decrease blood flow to your uterus and ovaries.
- decrease progesterone levels.
- affect your mood and how you are in the world.
- builds up and causes an explosion.
That is why it’s so important to know how to manage the stress in your life. Finding healthy ways to manage your stress so you can clear the way to get pregnant, stay pregnant, and have a healthy baby are vital.
Check out this episode of Tea with The Fertility Godmother where Denise talked about managing stress for fertility so you can reset your mindset to help you get pregnant.
Three tips to managing stress for fertility:
- Be mindful of the words you use. They create your reality.
- Change your physiology – Take a break and dance, get some exercise, or simply put a smile on your face. Even if you don’t feel like it, it will make a huge difference.
- Shift your focus to something you are grateful for. What you look for you will find, and you will attract. It is a universal law. Use it to your advantage.
These three not easy, but simple steps will really make a difference in how you feel and how you manage the daily stresses of trying to conceive.
