To Get Pregnant Fast ...Try a Little Romance!

By GettingPregnantNow.org

It seems kind of obvious ....romance leads to pregnancy! But the truth is, when trying to conceive many couples seem to put
"romance" on the back burner and instead put all of their energies into the "mechanics" of getting pregnant! But research shows that doing so may actually be counter productive! Why?

Because romance reduces stress - and without it, stress levels can build to a point where conception may be adversely affected. How?

Doctors aren't exactly sure, but research continues to point to the destructive effect that stress hormones like cortisol can have on reproductive hormones, particularly those involved with regulating egg production and ovulation. In fact, when stress levels rise high enough, ovulation may stop completely.

But the good news is, the opposite is also true - reducing stress levels may help protect hormone function and get your ovulation back on track! In one encouraging study conducted by Alice Domar, PhD, at Harvard's Mind-Body Institute, women who underwent stress reduction therapy saw dramatic increases in their ability to get pregnant. In fact, even women who were already undergoing fertility treatments had more successful outcomes when stress was kept under control.

Even more encouraging: Research published in the journal Psychological Science found that putting a little romance in your life - such as the simple act of holding hands with your spouse or dancing slow to romantic music - can be a super stress-buster!

So, if you want to get pregnant faster and easier, don't forget to keep a little romance in your baby-making life! This can be especially important if you are undergoing fertility treatments and working towards an IVF pregnancy. While it's important to concentrate on the medical aspects of these procedures, it's also important that you and partner continue to connect to each other in an intimate, close, and yes, romantic way.
