I realise that im writing a lot in these first few days but thats because I have alot to say for you to understand why I am writing this blog in the first place.
Well, according to the doctors, there doesnt appear to be anything medically stopping us conceiving (so far anyway but we have only had initial tests). I have started having accupuncture and my accupucturist and I have had some really interesting conversations looking at my life as a whole and my thoughts on fertility. What has come out of this is that I focus too much of my energy on the rest of the world, most predominantly at the moment being my work.
She has specialised in fertility for the last 10 years and has noticed a pattern in those couples labelled with "unexplained fertility". In most cases the female is very work orientated, can be quite stressed and is generally quite sensitive to angry people. It is her view that in order to conceive, your energy has to be focussed in the reproductive area and that this is the first area to suffer when energy is being expended on other things. When she said this, it really rung a bell and started to hit home that I was probably, somehow, preventing myself getting pregnant!
This was a little revelation for me and really got me thinking. At the same time, I saw a program on Discovery home and health called "Extreme pregnancy" and a couple on there had looked into hypnofertility. I had never heard of such a thing and you might be forgiven for thinking that it is a pretty daft idea that you could "think yourself pregnant"!!! But it worked for them and the husband went on to study this to help other couples.
Well, willing to try anything, and given my recent conversations with my accupuncturist, I scoured the internet and found myself a book. Its not here yet but its coming from America so could take a little while. Im quite looking forward to it and feeling positive.
