Stress and Fertility


Sat, 05/02/2009 - 12:18 — Elizabeth

 

In an article from the American Society For Reproductive Medicine, research shows that more often than not stress does NOT cause infertility. They do admit however that there are some cases where high levels of stress do impact a woman’s hormone levels and in turn their ovulation patterns.  There were some studies that also found that stress sometimes cause fallopian tubes to spasm in women, and decreased sperm in men. This study also focused on the impact of fertility issues on a couple’s relationship.  As the stress of infertility becomes more evident, the couple’s intimacy  is also often impacted.  This then becomes a factor in becoming pregnant. So, keep connected with your spouse and surround yourself with a support system that can help you along the way to motherhood!

Note that you are most likely to get pregnant if you time your lovemaking to occur on the days right before - and on - your ovulation date. Keep in mind that the projected ovulation date above is simply a “best guess” estimate based on your cycle date information. The most accurate way to pinpoint your most fertile time is through the use of urine-based ovulation tests or with a fertility monitor. We have partnered with Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com, the Internet’s leading supplier of preconception products since 2001, to offer low-cost, FDA-approved pregnancy and ovulation tests – with free same-day shipping.

 

Now that you’ve calculated your ovulation date using our ovulation calculator, we have a number of other helpful tools you can use to help increase your chances of conceiving.

 

  • Create your own personalized ovulation calendar! You can even provide an email address so that you receive email alerts of your most fertile days, when you can begin testing for pregnancy, and more.
     

  • Create your own personalized fertility chart! This is a highly accurate way to pinpoint your ovulation date that relies primarily on basal temperature charting. (Visit Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com for an accurate, inexpensive basal thermometer.)
     

  • Connect with others at our online community! If you have questions about trying-to-conceive – or if you just want to vent a bit – we have a wonderful, vibrant community of people who’d just love to hear from you.

Find your most fertile time.
