Research shows the benefits of Hypnotherapy for women having problems with fertility. Several studies have been done and the results are clear, Hypnotherapy helps women get pregnant. Hypnotherapy is an all natural approach and not only helps women with fertility issues, but helps men too.
Feeling out of control can cause a psychosomatic disconnect between your mind and body when you're trying to get pregnant. Hypnotherapy will help put you back in control. With little effort, Hypnotherapy can be a useful tool in connecting the link between mind and body. Apart from helping with the stress and anxiety of getting pregnant, Hypnotherapy will grow your confidence too.
Dr. Ernest L. Rossi specializes in psycho-biology, 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.
The body will respond by triggering the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system (HPA), which in turn releases a number of neurotransmitters, including the primary stress hormone Cortisol, upsetting the delicate hormonal balance needed for ovulation, fertilization and implantation of the fertile egg into the womb.
Dr. Alice Domar, Fertility & Sterility (1990 and 2000) and the Journal of the American Medical Women’s Association (1999), emphasizes “mind/body” techniques that include self-hypnotic suggestions to reduce stresses that interfere with conception and healthy pregnancy. Domar is the author of Conquering Infertility, and 6 Steps to Increase Fertility.
Women with depression, when treated, showed a 60% viable pregnancy rate within six months, contrasting with 24% when depression went untreated. ARTICLE HERE. Women who go through hypnosis for fertility not only have higher pregnancy rates, they have higer rates of feeling good about the process.
At the Institute of Applied Psychology in Lisbon Portugal, a team of researchers led by Katharina Hirschenhauser has concluded that men who actively want to be fathers automatically adjust their testosterone levels at exactly the right time (the middle of their partners' menstrual cycles). Perhaps there is no better hypnotic suggestion for a male partner than the idea that he wants to become a father. In hypnosis we can make sure you're body and mind are communicating that signal.
So, I'm not completely unfamiliar with what you're going through. The constant cycle of checking where you are in your cycle and checking to see if you're pregnant can steel all the joy out of life. In hypnosis, we can bring that joy back.
For Fertility Hypnosis you want to plan on coming in for 6 sessions.
2006 Psychology Today, Each year in the U.S., approximately 6.7 million women have an impaired ability to become pregnant or carry a baby to full term, and over 176,000 in vitro fertilization cycles are performed. With the average cost of an in vitro fertilization cycle ranging from $10,000 to $15,000, women are using hypnosis to make the procedure more effective and nearly double the odds of conceiving. (I'm sorry Psychology today no longer has this article online, if I find it, I'll link it here.
In 1999 a study of 1156 women having in vitro fertilization, women who received
psychological support, including hypnotherapy, had a higher rate of pregnancy (56%) than
those who did not (42%) Poehl, M., Bichler, K., Wicke, V., Domer, V., & Feichtinger, W. (1999). Psychotherapeutic counseling and
pregnancy rates in in vitro fertilization. Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 16(6), 302-5.
The most recent study in 2013 followed 554 couples with “unexplained” reproductive failure
(meaning stress-related or otherwise psychosomatic) over a period of 28 years. Using
hypnosis to alleviate the stress of infertility as well as marital stress yielded a pregnancy
success rate of 72%. Researchers concluded that unexplained reproductive failure is reversible when stress is alleviated with hypnosis.
▪ On the impact of hypnosis during the in vitro procedure compared pregnancy and implantation rates between two groups: 98 procedures using
hypnosis versus 96 procedures without hypnosis. The group using hypnosis obtained 52 pregnancies 53%) with an implantation rate of 28%. The group without hypnosis had 29
pregnancies (30%) with an implantation rate of 14%. Researchers concluded that the use of
hypnosis during embryo transfer may significantly improve pregnancy and implantation rates
Some women have seen remarkable evidence that stress and belief prevent pregnancy when they become pregnant after the misdiagnosis of “blocked tubes.” As soon as they stop worrying about their infertility, they conceive. It can be helpful to give the patient the suggestion that she can stop worrying about becoming pregnant.

Hypnosis can also address other psychosomatic causes of infertility. Sometimes behind the
outward desire to get pregnant is a fear of pregnancy, fear of childbirth, or fear of being
unprepared for motherhood. The conflicting emotions are a form of stress that affects the
physiology and prevents fertility. When appropriate, hypnotherapy for fertility can encourage feelings of motherliness and help the patient resolve fears
