When we are looking to conceive, and under emotional stress, our body releases stress hormones including adrenaline and cortisol which sets off our defensive system sending messages to the body that is not safe or time yet to create a baby. It may also be nature's way of protecting you from conceiving at a time; perhaps you might find it hard to cope. Cortisol also prevents the implantation of fertilised eggs and can also reduce sperm count in men. Obsessing about conceiving can also release eggs that are not mature enough to fertilise.
Introducing Hypnosis- Studies have shown that "infertile" women utilising mind/body techniques have a 42%-55% conception rate.
Exercises:
Let your breathing get become slower and deeper. breath in for 4 and out for 8
Breathe from your diaphragm or belly instead of from your shoulders or chest. Please don't force it, but let your breathing become natural and relaxed.
As you breathe in, imagine that 'relaxation' is coming into your body and flowing through your limbs, reaching every part of you. As you exhale, imagine that all the stress from your body is being exhaled. After a few minutes, you should feel more 'full' of peace, and the stress in your body should be reduced.
For five to ten minutes, continuing this exercise can relieve stress and help you return to your activities (and stressors) with a renewed sense of strength and serenity and help you get pregnant.
