Nice video and I agree somewhat:). But stress can actually have a factor in fertilty. Maybe not so much for individuals that have already been diagnosted with infertility. But when I was TTC with my son there were times when I would be very stressed out, so much that I actually missed my ovulation. My body would refuse to ovulate becuase it knew it wasnt the right time. (i was charting) My body would gear up and try again a couple weeks later it then I would ovulate. Just an example.
While I agree with you that infertility isn't psychological and you can't "will" your body out of it, I do think that stress is a big factor...as with any other condition, emotional stress can effect how your body functions/reacts. Stress can cause physical tension, which can cause all sorts of internal issues. While it is not a cause of infertility, it's definitely an obstacle that, once dealt with, may make the way clearer and possibly allow some people to get one step closer to their goal.
I keep Hearing that I need to just have sex every other day and it will happen eventually... It's fate... maybe it is not meant to be... god will give you a baby when he feels that you are ready... just relax... Im sorry but I do not believe in god and even if I did I do not think he would have time to worry about when exactly I was to conceive and why would he choose the woman that does drugs during her pregnancy and not me...
Yeah, my whole family even my husband think its stress and I think about it to much and that is why I am not ovulating... Im so tired of hearing its all in my head. They are making me even more stressed! Apparently I am supposed to not think about it and it will "happen"... Great video!
Good info. The adoption myth is especially bothersome to me because it is not only false but it is damagaging because it can lead couples into a false hope / adopting for all the wrong reasons - ultimately the adopted child will suffer the brunt of that.
@Elizabeth01010101 That's true as well. I wouldn't mind adopting but it wouldn't be to up my chances of conceiving. Some people I know alhave always told me to adopt and I'll get pregnant.
Also, I thought I'd mention the most ridiculous TTC effort I've heart of: EGG WHITES used as "pre-seed" essentially. look it up, sounds like a lot of bacteria and pretty gross, but apparently it works for some...?
@cre8ive2noend From my understanding if you wash the outside of the egg (the shell) than the actual egg white itself is fine and vagina friendly :) -Brandy
I just watched your video here, I'm new to you tube! so exciting! I love the support! So,...how long have you been trying to conceive? What have you tried? ...just curious! :)
I have PCOS, always have since I was a teen, like you mentioned. I've tried lots of herbs & vitamins...along with every type of tracking known to man. TTC for 17 months now no medications right now though...need a bit of a break in meds :) it can get overwhelming! anyway...keep us updated!
@cre8ive2noend Yes, it's been hard. Hubby and I have been trying over 2.5 years now. I've had a lot of Provera and Clomid and now on Dexamethasone to lower my androgen levels.
I really, really, hope infertility isn't psychological but I think it can be partially for some people. probably a minority, but I worry thats me as we are now for the most part unexplained infertility.
All my life I've been a worrier, a sensitive, serious type of person .
Infertility has brought me so much stress physically (during treatment) and emotionally all the time.
I'm working on ways to reduce this, but its really not in my nature to relax about my problems.
@ashling328 You're right. I do get worried about the fact that there is unexplained infertility. There is a lot that our bodies go through when we are going through treatments, and when that doesn't work, we can get stressed out because there are times when we think, "What's left?" I do try my best to stay motivated cycle after cycle though because the urge to have my own biological child is so strong. I'm sending you lots of baby dust Ashling!
Great video thank you!! I just had my 3rd miscarriage and right after my D&C one of my friends said to me "Stop thinking about it so much and it might happen" ahhh omg I was soooooo mad!!! I didn't say anything of course I said there might be something medically wrong with my husband and I we're starting all the testing. Towards the end of the convo I did storm off and say "I don't think I can will myself from having a miscarriag".
@TheSuperMoochacha Yes, I agree. Infertility can be really hard. Sometimes, those who are not familiar with infertility automatically think it's purely stress related.
Infertility is so not psychological, that is a pretty ridiculous notion. However, if your body is stressed it is not functioning properly, particularly the endocrine system, and does not help the situation just as eating a poor diet. Moreover, in some cases miscarriages have been attributed to stress. It has taken me 7 years to have this kid, if this is it, this is it! I am blessed to have at least one when some can not even have that!
@PersephonesPumpkin The most ridiculous thing I think about when it comes to infertility is companies taking advantage of our pain, and giving us false hope in the form of a pill or tablet of sorts. Not only is it ridiculous but it is cruel.
@PersephonesPumpkin Yes, there are so many different drugs out there and sometimes they just don't work. I've been on meds for so long and I have yet to ovulate :(. But hopefully I'll find something that works. :)
