How to Support Your Nervous System During Your Fertility Journey
Stress affects ovulation, hormones, and fertility outcomes. Learn how to calm your nervous system and reconnect with your body during your fertility journey.
Fertility journeys can be emotional, uncertain, and draining. But your nervous system directly influences your hormones. Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which can suppress ovulation and lower progesterone (which are essential for growing a baby).
