Anxiety
Everyone feels anxious occasionally, but for some this can become a continuous mindset, often irrational but difficult to reduce alone. The problem with chronic anxiety is that it produces raised amounts of stress hormones that can disturb the general hormonal balance in the body. Stress hormones like cortisol are useful in the short term, but chronic production can lead to adrenal stress and the body becomes exhausted. No doubt anxiety about fertility can be self-perpetuating, but there are numerous steps that can be taken to help reduce levels of anxiety – exercise, meditation, hypnotherapy – and supporting the body with a good diet and adequate rest to overcome the impact of anxiety.
