Hi Elphas!I'm on my road to motherhood, and through the journey, have witnessed how many women are struggling with conceiving. The numbers are astounding. I believe it has a lot to do with stress. Stressful thinking and fear around getting pregnant affects our bodies tremendously. I was inspired to launch an 8-week program that helps women overcome stresses as they relate to getting pregnant so that they optimize their chances for natural conception. Please check it out here: https://www.meghangieber.com/group-programThe program launches on July 20th and is completely online. Everything will be recorded if you can't make a live call. I'm offering this program to 10 women on a donation basis to make it accessible to all.WHO I AM LOOKING FOR...-You must be willing to take action.-You must have the courage to look at how your thoughts are affecting your physical body and reproductive system. -You will do whatever it takes to get pregnant, that could result in a few lifestyle changes.-You will be fully engaged and supportive of the group!If interested, please comment below or DM me, and I'll schedule a quick call to give you more information and get you enrolled. Looking forward to working with you!

First, I'd like to acknowledge that more conversation and support around (in)fertility is important. I don't doubt that for some women stress plays a role. Our minds and bodies are connected. However, I can't stress (pun!) enough how important it is to work with medical professionals to address any questions or concerns about fertility. I am currently 6 mo. pregnant after 2+ years of test and treatments due to serious, and medically diagnosed MALE FACTOR infertility. My personal experience and what I observe in our society is that so much of the fertility conversation is focused on women, and what we should/shouldn't do regarding our fertility. It is extremely important to understand that infertility impacts men and women equally - it is not a women's health issue, but a healthcare issue. It isn't my intent to take away from the work you are doing here, but to emphasize to others how important it is to approach (in)fertility as the medically diagnosed and treated condition that it is. I'm sure stress reduction can play a role in a wholistic approach, however, it could be an unhelpful diversion if used as a single strategy to address a medical condition that is statistically just as likely to impact a male partner as a female partner (should you be in a heterosexual and partnered relationship). I would be curious to know if you address the impact of stress on male infertility in your group at the same level as the impact on female infertility?
