Chronic Stress

In addition to the fact that research on stress seems to be conflicting, it is impossible to completely eliminate stress from daily lives. However, recent studies indicate that women may have had more difficulty conceiving with the more stress they perceived to be under.

Several recent studies have found links between women's levels of day-to-day stress and lowered chances of pregnancy. Hormonal changes that can affect ovulation and fertility can be brought on by feeling stressed, especially when it lasts for a long time. If you're struggling to control your stress, talk to your doctor about stress management and look into treatment options like yoga, meditation, and acupuncture, all of which may help lower your stress levels and maybe improve your chances of getting pregnant.
