Are you having a
difficult time getting pregnant even though you and your
partner have been checked and all is
well?
In my practice, I see a lot of women
for fertility issues. Most of the time both husband and wife
are healthy. Both of them often have been tested and the
results come back normal. So how come they are not getting
pregnant? I have women that get sad and cry every month when
their period comes, some get depressed or angry-Why do other
women get pregnant and not me?- some get insomnia from
over thinking and some
get so tensed up, their shoulders look like they're
attached to their ears.
It is not easy having to count days, or take basal daily
temperature or look at the vaginal discharge just to know if
ovulation is occurring. And the stress of
telling the future father that it's time to perform
now! This process is supposed to be fun
but end up being more stressful than a root
canal. Often
stress is the cause!
Here is a true
story that I often tell my
patients. When I was younger in my small village in France,
one of my school teacher and his wife tried to have a baby
for 5 years (small town, everyone knows everything). They
got tested and nothing was wrong with them so they kept
trying but after another 2 years, they decided that
adoption was a good choice for them. It took another 4
years before they receive the news of a new baby girl who
was going to fill their life with joy. 1 month after the
news: they got pregnant! They have
now 2 beautiful daughters who are just 3 months apart in
age. So suddenly when the stress of conceiving was out of
their lives and a baby was finally going to be part of
their family, both their bodies relaxed and "poof" they
conceived without even
trying.
It will happen for you also, just
relax, eat well, sleep enough, and just breathe
deeply. Think positive thoughts and be happy; act
like you are already pregnant: GLOW!
Enjoy life because soon you'll be doing 2 am feeding and
changing diapers all day long :))
Try acupuncture: it really does work
very well for fertility.
