Fear & Stress

High stress levels can damage a woman's chances of getting pregnant, researchers warn.

Those who are anxious are 12 per cent less likely to conceive during their fertile time than those who stay calm.

Anxiety has been linked to infertility, and while anxiety can't make someone permanently infertile, it appears that it can decrease the likelihood of pregnancy. So why does infertility occur and, perhaps more importantly, what can be done about it?

For eg. issues involving sexual abuse or other traumas can diminish overall feelings of safety and cause a woman to live in a state of constant fear. Although the conscious mind resolves to forget or move past the incident, the subconscious mind (the emotional part of the mind) is in conflict because of feelings of betrayal and endangerment.
