The connection between our health, mind and body has received a lot of attention in recent years. What we think, our attitudes and beliefs seem to have an influence over how our body responds and functions. So one might wonder if having the right mental outlook can contribute to your fertility? Can your beliefs and feelings about yourself and about getting pregnant influence whether you have a successful pregnancy? Many people believe so. But how do you create a fertile mental and emotional climate.

Struggling with fertility can take a large toll mentally, emotionally and physically. As time passes you may lose your positive outlook, your belief that eventually you will get pregnant. You may start thinking of yourself in a negative light and not the fertile mom you strive to be. You may feel any or all of a variety of emotions including anger, depression, anxiety, sadness and grief. You may judge yourself and compare yourself to other women who have no trouble getting pregnant. You may feel less of a woman. It can be difficult to turn this around and it is difficult to do this alone. You need support.

Most women are aware that negative thoughts and emotions can cause stress and when struggling with fertility for a while you know that stress can be a detrimental factor. Laughter on the other hand helps your body release the feel good hormones endorphins. Acupuncture does the same thing and can be very useful when laughter is hard to come by. Acupuncture is very good at helping to uplift the mind and emotions through releasing endorphins into your body. When you feel good you are more inclined to have a positive attitude, to start to believe again in the possibilities. Acupuncture can help you redevelop a positive outlook toward your body, to help you feel good about yourself again, to help reconnect you with your womb and your fertility, to help you begin to have a fertile mind.
