You Can Change Negative thoughts about Conceiving

There are many couples who have a hard time getting pregnant. Some therapies, like in-vitro fertilization, are complicated and expensive. Nowadays there are alternatives, such as acupuncture and hypnosis.

While it may sound far-fetched hypnotherapy can help couples get pregnant in a matter of months.

For most women over the age of 40, getting pregnant may not be as easily achieved. Medical doctors say having a baby after 40 might be difficult yet, there are more and more women giving birth the natural way than ever before. A couple of hypnotherapy sessions, can speed and ease the process.

This makes sense, as the first benefit of hypnosis is relaxation. We certainly have all heard those stories about couples who stop "trying" to get pregnant, or who adopt, and suddenly find themselves expecting the unexpected. Unfortunately, relaxing isn’t as easy as it sounds – it’s like falling asleep. The harder you try, the tenser you become. Hypnosis is just a simple way of bypassing the worrying part of your mind, the conscious mind, and letting the rest of you get the rest you need.

Then there’s the mind-body connection.  When you learn to put your body in homeostasis – in balance – your reproductive system works more smoothly. Your subconscious mind controls your bodily functions including hormone production. One aspect of hypnotherapy helps you deal with all of your emotions, including those hidden parts of yourself that might have doubts or worries about parenthood. One theory about the increase in fertility when couples adopt is that it’s more than relaxation – the simple fact of being a parent overcomes those tiny insecurities that have interfered with the complex reproductive system.

Changing negative thoughts is key.

"There's an obsession with, 'Am I pregnant? Am I going to get pregnant? What cycle day am I on? What's my basal body temp?' It's all women who want to get pregnant think about.  It gets to a point that the pleasures of intimacy and getting pregnant become calculative and chore like.

All that thinking can stress out a woman. If pregnancy does not happen right away some women convince themselves that they can't get pregnant.

"There's a 35 percent diagnosis of unexplained infertility, which means there's no physical cause for it. These days more medical doctors believe in and sometimes encourage alternative therapies like hypnosis or acupuncture because they seem to take a lot of the stress out of baby making.

Through hypnosis we reprogram your mind. If the need arises, we then delve deeper into your subconscious mind and through hypnotherapy unveil any self-sabotaging patterns standing in your way to getting pregnant to full term.

Key components are: stress reduction and change of old thought patterns. There is a definite link between her hormones released in the brain and decreasing a woman's ability to release an egg."

Hypnosis can also double the success rate of in-vitro fertilization, which on its own only results in a baby 37 percent of the time. In some cases, a woman may get pregnant without having to undergo the expensive treatment.
