How to cope with infertility during the Covid-19 Crisis?

Infertility is itself a big challenge and to top it covid-19 anxiety is something to which everyone is struggling. It is important to strengthen the support for women and to reduce their fear and anxiety.

We at Mother’s Lap IVF Centre are here to provide all of the support, information and attention you need as you cope with infertility during the COVID-19 crisis. 

First step is to take care of your heart, mind, & spirit:

The one thing that lockdown has given us is more time during the week. No more commute, no time dedicated to going to the movies, dining out, or attending favorite public activities and events. Utilize that and nurture your heart, mind, and spirit.

How to do:

• You can try yoga online while there is no proven link between yoga and increased fertility, a review of multiple studies has shown potential links between women who do yoga during fertility treatments cycles, reduced stress, and improved fertility rates.

• Take time to prepare nourishing meals. Inflammation is a side-effect of endometriosis and PCOS to just about every other medical or reproductive issue. Focusing on a nourishing anti-inflammatory diet automatically can help keep inflammation at bay, which has inherent reproductive health benefits.

• Keeping the romance alive! As any one coping with infertility can tell you, it takes a toll on romance and light hearted partnership. Use this time to rekindle romantic and intimate connections with your partner.

While COVID-19 is an unprecedented concern, fertility centers know how to use best-practices and medical protocol to keep our patients safe amidst this pandemic.

Yoga is beneficial in many other ways too. One of the lifestyle problems is stress which further produces many diseases such as obesity, infertility, heart problems, it also disturbs your digestive system and many more. There is a strong link between stress and digestion. Stress has the ability to interfere with your digestive system and your digestive process. You may have heard of a little hormone called cortisol. We all need cortisol in our life, but this also happens to be the hormone that’s released when we’re stressed out. The trouble is that excess cortisol remains in the body if you’re under chronic stress and it contributes to excess belly fat. That’s because cortisol promotes the storage of belly fat to help you survive. When you’re stressed, your body doesn’t know the difference between a deadline at work or being chased by a bear. So it reacts the same way in either situation. To boost metabolism you must RELAX and stop producing so much cortisol. Try Yoga meditation to help in reducing stress. Yoga is a great stress buster.
