There are several things that you can do to decrease the stress associated with fertility treatment. It is a good idea to spend about one hour per day in some form of exercise such as walking or yoga. It is also very important that you get adequate sleep. You may also consider
acupuncture which has been reported to increase endorphins, the "feel good" brain chemicals. Acupuncture has been also reported to improve success rates of In Vitro Fertilization(IVF), possibly by improving egg quality and decreasing the anxiety associated with fertility treatment.
In summary, if you have difficulty conceiving, integrating conventional reproductive medical therapy with nutritional and lifestyle modifications and acupuncture may significantly improve your chances of a successful outcome. Please consult with your physician before considering any nutritional supplementation. |
