Hypnosis and IVF

Professor Eliahu Levitas conducted this study with 185 women. Read some of his findings on hypnosis for fertility. http://www.ourjerusalem.com/news/story/news20040824.html

Hypnosis, Stress and Fertility

Here is a list of all the scientific studies that have been done on the link between stress and infertility.  All these studies found that stress negatively impacted a couples' ability to conceive.  Conversely couples who were taught to put their  minds in a more "fertile" attitude were more easily able to have a baby.  For example, the Journal of the American Medical Women’s Association reported in 1999 that 42% of women were able to conceive within six months of being taught mind/body relaxation techniques. Additionally, these women were able to effectively decrease their levels of stress, anxiety and depression.

Dr. Ernest L. Rossi specializes in psychobiology, or the relationship between the mind and physical body states. He has done extensive research to suggest that human genes must be in a state of physical readiness for conception to take place, and that hypnotic-type suggestions can activate specific genes, including the IL-1, c-fos, and the CYP17 in a specific order.

Waon hypnosis and the use of mind/body techniques for fertility issues?

Doctors and scientists from around the world are proving the effectiveness of hypnotherapy for this and other reproductive challenges. http://www.hypnofertility.com/science_of_fertility.htm

Worry = Negative Self Hypnosis

You have probably gone to considerable lengths to keep your body free of toxins and exposure to any harmful element. Why, then, would you allow destructive habits and thought patterns to damage the fragile environment needed to conceive?

Hypnotherapy = Positive Change

We can help you to transform that fearful energy into a powerful, constructive force. And unlike typical medical treatments, hypnotherapy can benefit both male and female parents-to-be. Hypnotherapy is safe, requiring no drugs or expensive equipment. And it can be mixed with almost any medical procedure with impressive results, often making any such procedure work much better! Natural fertility has come as a pleasant surprise for our clients, even those for whom assisted methods have failed.

But, what if I can't be hypnotized?

A common myth about hypnosis is that it is something that someone else "does to you." But, in fact, ALL HYPNOSIS IS SELF HYPNOSIS. Hypnosis is a participatory process. If you want to experience hypnosis, and you can follow simple instructions, you can access the mind state needed to bring about personal change (including a change in fertility conditions).

INCREASE YOUR CHANCES

Each year millions of dollars are spent to overcome infertility. While modern medicine has improved, vast amounts of cash and emotion are spent in pursuit of pregnancies that never happen. Hypnotherapy represents a safe and powerful way of increasing fertility.

Your new baby is waiting to meet you.
