Don't Tell Me To RELAX- A Fertility Podcast

Does stress affect fertility?


Listen Later

Episode 12 is all about STRESS!!!!


I'm joined by Carly Garrett, who is a reflexologist and a fertility coach and creator of our two online courses we offer The Two Week Wait and The Pocket Hug.


Does stress cause fertility problems? It's a question we are asked a lot and it's very common for people to feel stressed about their stress. So in this episode we unpick this and look at ways to help manage stress.


We discuss

  • The stress that comes from feeling stressed
    • Stress and fertility and the research that says there is no link.
      • But fertility problems do cause stress, anxiety and depression
        • The lack of control that comes with fertility problems
          • What stress actually is
            • Why it's important to know that fertility problems are really stressful and they don't go away when you're told to relax/ go on holiday! (hence the podcast title!)
              • Why actively seeking help and support to address the stress is vital
                • Why there is no one way, whatever works for you is right
                  • Letting go of perfectionism
                    • Why fertility problems are so unfair and why that is hard to sit with

                    • Check out my blog you'd like to find out more about stress and fertility and organisations and communities for further support.
