Hypnotherapy can Improve your Chances of Conceiving
Hypnosis for fertility has been shown to increase conception by 30% & double the rate of success of IVF treatment.
The use of hypnosis during embryo transfer doubles the IVF/ ET outcome in terms of increased implantation and clinical pregnancy rates. Furthermore it seems the patients attitude to treatment was more favourable. (‘Impact of hypnosis during embryo transfer on the outcome of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer. A case study.’Fertility and Sterility Journal. May 2006:8 (5): 14040-8)
Hypnosis helps with unexplained infertility
The mind and body are inextricably linked. You cannot separate the emotional from the physical when it comes to fertility. In the past people viewed difficulties in conceiving as solely a medical problem. Mind and body are interconnected and interdependent. Our thoughts, images, sensations and feelings interact constantly to trigger responses in our bodies, for example stress and anxiety can have a huge impact on reproduction as it is one of our most delicately balanced biological systems.
Hypnosis affects the area of the brain known as the hypothalamus, the neural centre at the base of the brain linked to the pituitary gland which controls the flow of hormones in the body. The hypothalamus is highly sensitive to stress and acts as a bridge between the emotional and physical, turning emotional messages into physical responses that then affect hormone levels.
Stress effects Fertility
In a tribe under threat from another tribe or marauding wild animals, the females would fail to ovulate during this time, similarly if there were a feminine that too would be a bad time to bring a child into the world – Peter Bowen-Simpkins, M.D.Clinical Director, Cromwell IVF Fertility Centre. Introduction Shape UK March 2001
Beliefs effect Biology
A recent study at Harvard Medical School measured what happened when women who were having difficulty conceiving were given group CBT. They were taught how to identify recurrent negative thought patterns and how to separate truth from fear. 55% of the women who participated had a baby. Compared to 20% who received no treatment (Nicholas, M ‘3 Steps to Fertility p113)

Hypnosis can help encourage a Healthier, more Positive Attitude
People who have problems conceiving may experience a reduced sense of mental, emotional and physical wellbeing and leave them feeling stressed, frustrated, jealous, hopeless, anxious or depressed. It can affect their work, friendships, family and relationships. Hypnosis can help address these types of issues and help couples to feel better about life in general.
