Reduce stress

It’s very common for stress and anxiety to build when you’re not falling pregnant as quickly as you’d expected. Your chances of becoming pregnant decrease as your stress levels rise. This is probably a result of the hormonal changes that stress causes.

There is evidence that stress can reduce fertility despite the conflicting results of research on the subject. Some studies indicated that stress impacts the hormones needed for sperm production and ovulation. Getting support and counseling may lower your feelings of anxiety and depression and raise your chances of becoming pregnant. And don't forget to take time for yourself.
