My good friends at Life Enhancing Audio company, Innervision, have just launched a hypnosis product specifically designed to help with fertility and IVF in particular. Successful IVF is a product specifically designed for for couples undergoing IVF treatment. This product uses self-hypnosis to guide couples on how to use relaxation and stress reduction while undergoing IVF treatment.
It’s certainly an interesting concept. The product has been designed with Diana Tibble, experienced midwife of 15 years and qualified hypnotherapist and counsellor, which indicates these are people who both know the subject matter and are passionate about getting results.
According to the Innervision team “frequent visits to clinics for tests, investigations, examinations and treatments can cause increases in stress hormones. One of these hormones, adrenaline, affects the hypothalamus; the pituitary and the thyroid gland, all essential for fertility and can inhibit, not only ovulation, but also implantation.”
It is well known that stress plays a factor in infertility in both men and women (see earlier post), so reducing stress during IVF should be as much a priority as at any other time when trying to conceive. IVF is expensive – it makes sense to be in a peak state before undergoing any treatment.
More than anything else, I think men and women need to focus on fertility, not infertility, and a product like Successful IVF may not be able to 100% guarantee a successful outcome to IVF treatment, but it can only help in combating negative thoughts and stresses which may well hinder the process.
