Using Hypnotherapy for Unexplained Infertility
Most experts define infertility as not being
able to become pregnant after a year or two of trying to have a baby.
In order to become pregnant a woman must release an egg from one of
her ovaries, and the egg must go through a fallopian tube towards the
uterus. A man’s sperm must fertilize the egg along the way. And the
fertilized egg must attach to the inside of the uterus. Infertility
can result from problems that interfere with any of these steps.
Roughly about 1 in 6 of all couples seek specialist
help because of difficulty conceiving. Many couples who have been trying
to conceive for only a year or two are normal, and will conceive without
help. But there are some who will have a real cause and will need to
be investigated.
Infertility in men is often caused by problems
making sperm, or producing too few sperm or none at all. Another problem
is with the sperm’s ability to reach the egg and fertilise it. Sometimes
problems start due to illness or injury.
The number and quality of a man’s sperm can be
affected by his health and lifestyle, such as alcohol, drugs, toxins,
smoking cigarettes, medication, radiation and chemotherapy for cancer,
and age.
Infertility in woman – the main cause is ovulation,
for without it there are no eggs to be fertilized. Some signs that a
woman is not ovulating normally include irregular or absent menstrual
periods. She can have blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, or have
had surgery for an ectopic pregnancy, there may be physical problems
with the uterus, or she may have uterine fibroids.
Other things that can affect a woman’s ability
to have a baby include stress, poor diet, athletic training, overweight
or underweight, smoking, alcohol, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs),
health problems that cause hormonal changes, polycystic ovaries or age.
If you think you have fertility issues, the
basic tests can be done by your GP, Doctors can also help you prepare
your body for a healthy baby, they can answer questions on fertility
and give you advice on conceiving. If the tests given by your GP give
no pointers to a specific cause, then it is sensible to ask to see a
specialist
Infertility can be treated with medicine, surgery,
artificial insemination or assisted reproductive technology. Many times
these treatments are combined. About two thirds of couples who are treated
for infertility are able to have a baby.
There are a number of reasons that can affect
fertility in any couple’s attempt to have a successful pregnancy. If
all health factors have been successfully ruled out, stress can be the
main contributor to an inability conceive and have a successful birth.
The stress of trying to become pregnant builds, on the pre-existing
stress of not getting pregnant, which often leads to guilt, self doubt
and negative self talk.

treatments that can help with unexplained infertility:

is constantly influenced by our emotions, thoughts and beliefs. Our
thoughts and beliefs can affect our bodies even showing themselves physically.
We are able to change physical symptoms by how we feel. There are many
factors responsible for infertility, one being how our emotions can
affect the hormonal system, which in turn controls ovulation and pregnancy.
