High Stress signals to the body that it’s not the right time to conceive. When stress is high, the stress hormone cortisol increases, which can suppress other hormones needed for ovulation. This may delay ovulation or reduce progesterone production (which is the hormone that will help to maintain a possible pregnancy).
Let’s not stress about stress though as there are many ways we can help to manage and reduce high stress.
Acupuncture helps calm the nervous system and regulate stress hormones like cortisol, allowing the body to shift back into balance.
When the body feels safe again, fertility can flow more naturally.
This point between the eye brows is a beautifully calming point I often use alongside other points for an overall balance.
Managing stress, by calming the nervous system, alongside whatever other cycle regulation is needed to support a healthy cycle and potential healthy pregnancy, is always part of the picture during my treatments when woman are trying to conceive.
