There’s a lot of information about the physical problems that can cause infertility. But did you know that your emotions are another factor that can contribute to conception difficulties?
“I experienced some intense emotions and fears when I was trying to conceive,” says Michaela Ryan, author of newly released book Trying to Conceive. “After a while I instinctively knew I was sabotaging the process. I believe I’m not just a body. I believe I’m made up of mind, body and spirit and that each of these can affect the other. So I worked my way out of my distress and immediately I became pregnant.”
For a long time, people have known, anecdotally, that couples often conceive after experiencing a significant emotional shift. In the past decade, a body of research has emerged confirming the link between our emotions and fertility.
