***I'm not tryign to conceive or am even married but as a doctor one ESSENTIAL piece of advice for those of you that are trying to get pregnant
STOP STRESSING !
Stress is a major factor ,though unfortunately not quatifiable, in leading to infertility.
I've advised lots of my patients especially those with unexplained infertility to stop all treatment ,take a break from doctors appts and blood tests and procedures and reading up about it and going "Doctor Shopping/Hopping" and just go away from your usual stressful environment ,take a vacation
I 've had lots who have returned within 6 months ..PREGNANT SPONTANEOUSLY !
Sheyn, I know that stress has a negative impact in fertility, but it is also very frustrating for women who are experiencing infertility to constantly be told to "just relax" and "just wait" etc. Often that isn't the best solution, nor is it possible to "just relax." What does that mean?
I have heard really good things about accupuncture. In fact, my specialist works directly with an accupuncture/wholistic medicine place (they are housed on the same floor of an office building). And I was planning on giving it a try if this last treatment hadn't worked out. I felt I needed a break from the meds.
