Does stress affect fertility? Don't Tell Me To RELAX- A Fertility Podcast
-
- Health & Fitness
Episode 12 is all about STRESS!!!!
I'm joined by Carly Garrett, who is a reflexologist and a fertility coach and creator of our two online courses we offer The Two Week Wait and The Pocket Hug.
Does stress cause fertility problems? It's a question we are asked a lot and it's very common for people to feel stressed about their stress. So in this episode we unpick this and look at ways to help manage stress.
We discuss
The stress that comes from feeling stressed
Stress and fertility and the research that says there is no link.
But fertility problems do cause stress, anxiety and depression
The lack of control that comes with fertility problems
What stress actually is
Why it's important to know that fertility problems are really stressful and they don't go away when you're told to relax/ go on holiday! (hence the podcast title!)
Why actively seeking help and support to address the stress is vital
Why there is no one way, whatever works for you is right
Letting go of perfectionism
Why fertility problems are so unfair and why that is hard to sit with
Check out my blog you'd like to find out more about stress and fertility and organisations and communities for further support.
