Unexplained infertility

For some couples, no medical cause can be found for their infertility. This is also known as unexplained infertility. Having been diagnosed with “unexplained infertility” can be hard to take. However, it just means that they have found no reasons medically why you can’t have children, so you can look at it in another way...  basically you just haven’t conceive yet!

Stress and a lack of confidence can be the main reasons for “unexplained infertility.
 

Hormonal problems also sometimes contribute to conception issues. Restoration of hormonal balance and eventual pregnancy may occur through the application of hypnosis techniques and implementation of positive lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise. Hypnosis is well recognized for its effectiveness in smoking cessation, weight control, stress release, and general habit changing. Interestingly, these same issues pose the biggest threats to fertility.

Hypnotherapy reduces stress and increases confidence, instilling a sense of control in the client, which in turn enables her to maximize chances of conceiving naturally and/or increase the success of medical assistance.

In an article by Suzy Greaves entitled "Can Hypnosis Help to Make You Pregnant?" Dr. Elizabeth Muir, a clinical psychologist working with hypnotherapy for infertility explains that hypnosis affects the hypothalamus—the neural centre at the base of the brain linked to the pituitary gland—and controls the flow of hormones in the body. The hypothalamus is sensitive to stress and acts as a bridge between the emotional and physical, turning emotional messages into physical responses that affect hormone levels. Muir believes that the psychological issues surrounding pregnancy are not sufficiently well addressed for many women with fertility problems.
