Infertility and Stress

Written on June 4, 2008

One of the biggest problems many women have in their every day lives that could be making it harder to conceive is stress.

If you are a woman who is easily agitated or who has a short fuse when it comes to anger, those attributes could very well be hindering your ability to become pregnant. There are many different ways to lower the amount of stress in your life and while this may seem like a truly challenging task, it just may be exactly what your mind and body needs to get ready for pregnancy!

Some of the ways to help eliminate the stress in your life are essential oils or aromatherapy; there are many essential oils and herbs that have been proven to be excellent stress relievers. If you cannot find essential oils, aromatherapy bath salts, soaps, body washes, salves, butters and lotions are readily available at nearly any store and are definitely worth looking into.

Other kids, significant other, grandparents, pets, etc. If it’s the people (and pets) you love who you realize are boosting that stress level, try taking a few hours of your day, every day, and spend them doing what you want to do. Taking some time for yourself is one of the best things that anyone can do and while you may be thinking to yourself “But I have job! Responsibilities! Other kids to take care of! A husband who doesn’t know how to put the toilet paper on the roll!” By taking those few hours out of your day, you can sit back and relax and keep in mind that your problems will still be there when you get back, but your stress won’t be!

Tea is another great supplement to give your body in order for you to relax and unwind. Tea contains antioxidants and not only is it delicious, but it is also used a stress reliever, especially when sipped over time before bed.

You will probably think of others that will undoubtedly help lower your stress level over time, but these are some basics to get you started. If you have found other stress relievers that have worked for you, share them with us in the comments!
