Depending on how long you have been trying for a baby, when test results return a verdict of unexplained infertility it can come as a shock, a let-down or a huge relief. The truth is we all take this kind of news differently.
On a positive note, the results give us a good deal to work with, an indication of our physical wellbeing. It enables us to rule out certain concerns but it does tend to focus us on one point in particular. “If everything is ok, why are we failing to conceive?”
Most couples are already addressing their diet and lifestyle issues, culling the usual suspects such as smoking and drinking. Eating a more balanced and nutritionally rich diet is equally a sound move. Reviewing work-life balance, eliminating unnecessary stress and taking regular exercise all make a significant difference, improving our chances on a day-to-day basis and leads us to where our services can really help to make a difference.
The moment you decided to start trying for a baby, you made a commitment to achieve a goal to start or add to your family. From that point forward you have unknowingly stored the 'emotional charge' associated with events - good or bad.
Events that upset or unsettle you emotionally such as another month passing unsuccessfully or bumping into friends who appear to fall pregnant easily, can begin to take their toll and trigger thoughts, feelings and emotions which dent your confidence and more considerably, begin to create unwanted stress at a physical level, flicking an internal bank of internal switches to 'off'. We know that the mind and body are infinitely connected and this connection is very apparent in matters of conception and cases of unexplained infertility.
Where we can step in and help, is by metaphorically activating the ‘reset’ button, taking you back to that moment when you decided to try for a baby with feelings of excitement, positive expectation and self-belief.
Now can you see how moving forward with good nutrition, a balanced lifestyle and feeling emotionally calm and positive can make a world of difference to an unexplained infertility result? We hope you can!
