Yesterday’s Natural Fertility Coaching call was all about the Mind + Body connection and fertility. The call was packed with awesome information. One of the important things Joanne talked about was the effects of stress on fertility.
Did you know that…
- Studies have confirmed that stress has a negative impact on our fertility. It is also widely accepted that infertility causes exorbitant levels of stress, creating a negative loop that is difficult to remedy on one’s own.
- The Hypothalamus, which is a walnut-sized organ in the middle of the brain, regulates BOTH stress and your fertility.
Believe it or not, our bodies are equipped to prevent conception from occurring during times of stress. The presence of adrenalin, the hormone that is released by our bodies during stressful times, signals to our body that conditions are not ideal for conception. Adrenalin inhibits us from utilizing the hormone progesterone, which is essential for fertility. It also causes the pituitary gland to release higher levels of prolactin, which also causes infertility to occur.
How Stress Impacts Fertility
Recent research tells us that stress boosts levels of stress hormones such as cortisol, which inhibits the body’s main sex hormones GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone) and subsequently suppresses ovulation, sexual activity, and sperm count.
GnRH is responsible for the release of Luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone by the pituitary, the suppression of testosterone, estrogens, and sexual behavior.
Chronic stress may cause lack of libido as well as a decrease in general fertility. This has become such a common issue that they have created a name for it Stress Induced Reproductive Dysfunction.
How to use the Mind + Body connections to boost your fertility naturally…
In you are having difficulty conceiving, stress may very well be a factor. If you have had fertility tests performed and have found that there is no medical reason for your infertility, it is time to evaluate your life and determine how much stress you have. Of course, you may not even have need for an evaluation. You may know you are stressed. In that case, it is time to start defeating that stress to help your fertility.

Hello I’m Lea me and my husband have been together for 9 years. We had decided to wait to have kids. Like 2 years ago we decided to try well like 5 months went by and one year nothing. We decided to go see a dr. we found out I had polyps in my uterus and had noticed my cycles had changed. Well I had a DNC to remove the polyps then I didn’t get my menstral cycles back. I had to take medication to get a menstral. Also my husband is soo hard headed he doesn’t want to do his part, it’s not so bad with what I have to do. But I don’t want to stress him. I’m worried that time is going by he is 6yrs older I’m 27. I just want to do things the right way and get a great result. But if it’s not ment to be then we will try other options. It is just hard when you see for some it’s easy. Then for someone like me I have to jump through hoops to get to where I want to be.
