In an interesting article last week, Tara Parker-Pope (a NYTimes blogger) writes about stress and infertility. In particular she explores the role that stress reduction may play in improving a couple's ability to conceive.
“It’s not that it’s all in your mind,’’ Dr. Domar said. “If you’re really stressed out and depressed, the body seems to sense that’s not a good time to get pregnant. There’s something about practicing relaxation techniques or being with other women who understand what you’re going through, probably a combination of everything, that makes a difference. It isn’t just about relaxing.”
