Fertility

Some people get pregnant quickly (usually between 1 and 2 years), but for others it is not always that simple.
In fact, infertility rates in the UK are rising and about 1 in 6 couples have difficulty or are unable to conceive.
Seeking medical advice and support can help with physical issues, but about 15% of couples that stuggle with fertility there is no known physical cause.
There is more and more evidence that shows that stress has a huge impact on fertility – and this is where I can help.
Stress and infertility
If there are no medical reasons to stop you from conceiving, then it is likely that psychological factors are getting in the way. There's growing evidence to suggest that stress may be a contributory factor to lack of conception.
Struggling to conceive can also lead to anxiety and depression, feelings of inadequacy, and take a toll on your relationships. For some it can lead to social anxiety and avoidance of situations where other couples with young children and babies are present. This can cause further stress, isolation and loneliness.
Stress can also upset the natural balance of hormones necessary for healthy sperm development, menstruation, ovulation, fertilisation, and even successful implantation of the egg.
Lifestyle choices and habits may also play a significant role in your ability to conceive. When you are less stressed, you're more likely to make better decisions about our lifestyle.
