Indigo Dreams, Real Techniques for Real People Feeling Real Anxiety Here is an interesting idea I found over at Fertility Blog. Take a break from trying to conceive. This is useful advice for anyone on the infertility treadmill but an especially useful concept for anyone undergoing physically and emotionally stressful infertility treatments. Trying to conceive is can be a lot of fun in the first few months of giddy lovemaking, but after months or years of disappointment and only one blue line on that stick…..heartache, worry and stress really start to kick in.

Taking a break of a month or two can be beneficial on many levels and even more therapeutic if you combine it with an out of town vacation. Chronic stress, lack of sleep, lack of sunshine, poor nutrition and other unhealthy habits can all have a negative long term impact on your fertility. By ignoring your mental health and wellness, you could be exacerbating the problem without knowing it. Not only that, but you owe it to yourself to incorporate balance into your life whether or not you have a child.

Life needs to be about balance in order for a person to be happy. Whenever you put too much of your focus onto only one area of your life, you do it to the detriment of every other aspect of your life. You feel out of balance because you are not paying attention to other aspects of your life, some of which might be very good. You rob yourself of the joy of celebrating other positive moments in your life, such as a promotion at work or the deepening of a friendship. Taking Time Off From Fertility Treatments

If you are of advancing age or have other extreme fertility challenges, you may feel that you cannot afford to “waste” a month or two, but consider the toll on your mental and physical health and the fact that you may be inadvertently making matters worse. You do not have to give up, but you do need to take care of yourself first and that may mean taking a step back to relax, refocus and breathe.

  1. Taking a break from the stress of conceiving is an excellent idea. Too much stress makes it harder to conceive and takes the fun out of what should be a precious and loving exchange. To further drive the point home…think about how many couples have been told they’d never conceive so they moved onto adopt a child only to later have a child of their own. Once the pressure’s off it’s much easier for your body to be ready for conception!
