Are you letting doctors be completely in charge of your path to pregnancy? Do you feel like a helpless victim at the mercy of the fertility gods? What are you doing to make your body as clean, sparkling and welcoming a home for the life you want to grow inside of you? What kind of spring-cleaning are you doing?
How are you eliminating toxins…. in your diet, beauty products, cleaning products? What kind of movement are you doing to oxgenate and strengthen?
What kind of practices are you doing to ease the stress of conceiving – meditation? Better and more sleep? Yoga? Massage? The more you choose to become your own master of health the more empowered you will feel in your own ability to conceive. You will feel more in control which will help to ease anxiety and reduce cortisol (the stress hormone) The more cortisol in your system, the more it throws your delicate hormonal balance into pandemonium.

Is your partner aware of what is involved in the path to fertility? Is he making changes to his health routine? Men’s health has just a critical role in conception. Things such as alcohol, being overweight, no exercise, bad sleep, too much caffeine and too many toxins can affect sperm motility (how fast the spermies swim)
How involved is your partner in making lifestyle change for himself?
How supportive is he of you making lifestyle changes such as eating different foods, getting out to exercise, throwing out toxic products and clearing out space in your home to get rid of clutter?
Does he come with you to doctor appointments that are about your reproductive health?
Is he aware of some of the challenges involved in getting pregnant with Assisted Reproductive Technology such as IVF? Is he open to getting tested as well for sperm motility?
The more involved and supportive you both are as a couple, the smoother your path to pregnancy will be.
