Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

I read in one of your replies to members that stress is not a wonderful thing when dealing with infertility. Why is it so? In what way does stress affect fertility? I am asking this because I am under a lot of stress due to my job, as well as my infertility problem. It has been 7 years since my marriage, and I have suffered two missed abortions in these 7 years, and I am still trying to conceive. Recently, my doctor diagnosed that I am not producing good eggs, inspite of HMG, Lupride. My doctor is also not able to understand why is this so. I have undergone an IUI this month. If it is not successful this time also, my doc was talking about donor eggs, in which I am not so much interested. Please help. archie replied. It's not known how does stress affects but has been seen in many couples even here on IP that they conceived in the cycle they forget about ttc and all worries related to that.
work stress is fair but nothing can be done by stressing out and so is the ttc issue, you getting stressed does not help you getting pregnant, does it? If not then why to stress out on that aspect.

if you make good eggs then chances that you will conceive as well, take life easily and relax, I know you will say what's there to say take things easy, one must go through to experience. But trust me stressing is not helping either.
