I've seen an 80% pass rate with my Passing Performance law students preparing for the California State Bar exam, turning their inner saboteur into an inner ally for success.  I see many hopeful parents have similar inner saboteurs that feed their fears and challenges with infertility, getting pregnant and having a successful in-vitro fertilization implant.   

 

Just like law students' worry and anxiety about passing the bar impedes memory, mind performance and reduces the chance of passing their big test, many hopeful couples have high stress lifestyles and harbor inner worries and concerns about getting pregnant, which can contribute to both female and male infertility, reduce their chances of conceiving, or having a successful IVF implant. 

Infertility is not just a female issue, 43% of infertility is due to the male

 

"We both know we want a baby, so how can we be feeling worried about this decision?

Anxiety and stress can be caused by hidden fears you hold somewhere in your sub-conscious. 

It's that little inner voice that says,

"I can't do this, I'm not smart enough, I'm afraid I'm not good enough." 

 

This is what I call your inner saboteur.

Just because you know you want to pass the bar exam to become an attorney, or you want to get pregnant because you want to start a family, this doesn't mean that you're inner most beliefs are ready and willing for the same thing.   

 

You can't trick your body into believing you're calm and relaxed enough to get pregnant and start a family when your inner saboteur knows better.  

Your thoughts and beliefs can control your body chemistry

and how your body reacts in any given situation.  I tell my law students, it's not that you don't know the information that prevents you from passing the bar exam, it's that you can't retrieve the information locked inside your mind because your 

fight or flight survival mechanism has been triggered.

  When you're in this panic mode, stress hormones, called cortisol and adrenaline are flooding the parts of your body in preparation for fleeing or fighting, or perhaps freezing, like a deer in the headlights.  You literally cannot access that part of your brain that is in charge of memory and critical thinking.  

Infertility is not just a female issue,

43% of infertility is due to the male.  Factors inlcude, sperm count, morphology (size & shape), mortility (speed), sperm dysfunction, sexually transmitted disease, physical damage, genetic and auto-immune disease. 

 

When it comes to getting pregnant, hormone imbalances are a critical aspect of infertility. 

Cortisol, the "stress hormone," directs the production of special immune cells called immunocytes, your first line immune defense. If the values of cortisol are abnormal, the ability of immune cells to produce great immune response is compromised.  As well, glucocortisols weaken the reproductive system in both women and men.
