It is known
that stress can result in an overall diminished quality of life and the ability of the body to function normally and efficiently. Research indicates that women who have difficulty conceiving suffer as much anxiety and depression as women with heart disease and cancer. It has been found that worry and anxiety can hinder fertility - alleviating stress can help increase the chances of conceiving. The Fertile Hope Program for Healing has been created to assist couples and individuals move through this time in their lives.
