“Change is never a matter of ability, it is only a matter of motivation and a compelling why.” ~ Tony Robbins

The goal of anyone experiencing infertility is to have a child. When times are trying, and you are adapting your life style in what might be challenging ways, that is the goal that needs to be kept in mind. Sometimes when you’ve been trying for a while,

Acupuncture (鍼治療）がいったいどのように、妊娠しやすい体作りに作用するのでしょう。

髪の毛より細い鍼が数本体にさされるだけなのに、妊娠しやすくなるなんて、想像しても頭の中は？？だらけになりますよね。

研究結果に基づいて５つのポイントがあげられています。

1. 神経伝達物質が放出され、ゴナドトロピン放出ホルモンを刺激、その為、月経サイクル調整、
排卵、妊娠に影響を与える。
2. 血流を悪くする交感神経の活動を抑制し、子宮への血流を促す。
3. 内因性オピオイドの生成が刺激され、中枢神経系に多く分布されるオピオイド受容体と結びつき
やすくなるため、痛みやストレスを緩和させる。
4. セラトニン（幸せホルモンといわれています）のレベルが上がる。
5. IVF（体外受精）サイクル中、特に受精周期へむけての薬を服用している際のコルチゾールと
プロラクチンレベルに好影響を与える。

あんなに細いのに鍼の力って想像するより本当に偉大です。
是非お試しあれ！

“There's No Such Thing as Infertility” by Randine Lewis, Ph.D.

” 不妊症なんてものはない　”　

私の好きなそして強いインパクトを与えてくれたランディン・ルイスの言葉です。

現代の婚期はいくつなんでしょう。

ひと昔前とは違い、女性もやりがいのある仕事や勉強を一生懸命こなす時代、時間に追われるように生活をして、出会いもままならないとよく耳にします。その後結婚し、さてそろそろ子供を作ろうと気持ちの準備が出来た時、はたして体も同じように準備万端でしょうか。以前はひょっとしたら逆に体は準備ができていて、若さゆえ気持ちがまだ、だったのではないのでしょうか。でもそれって一生懸命人生を歩んできたからであって、それが不妊症という名前をつけられるに価するのでしょうか。

生態学的に見て妊娠出産するための必要な器官が揃っていて、妊娠可能年齢であるならば、不妊症という言葉はとうてい似合わないように思います。

このブログで使われる不妊症という言葉、便宜上使っていますが、気持ち的には”妊活”という思いを込めて書いていきます。ご了承下さい。

My reproductive health journey has been quite a challenge both physically and emotionally. My husband and I first started to try to get pregnant when I was 36 years old and he was 37. We got pregnant right away (first try) but had a miscarriage at 5-6 weeks. We got pregnant again 2 months later and had our daughter who is now 4 years old.

Stress affects every aspect of our lives, mentally and physically, and as Dr. Pentland has pointed out in his blog post, that yes, it affects fertility.

Identifying your stressors and finding what activities, foods or routines work best for in managing your stress can have a great impact on your day-to-day emotional and physical well being.

Taking time out of your day to focus on yourself can be especially helpful,

“I remember having a conversation with a work colleague in my thirties about the similarities between having a baby and doing a PhD. His wife was pregnant at the time and i was several years out of a Masters degree wondering what my next steps in life would be. Being mostly single at the time and knowing i didn't want to raise a child on my own, 

general info – Barb was 40 years old and had been trying to conceive for over 4 years without success. They got married when she was 35 and began the journey of making babies almost immediately after they were married.
history – Medical testing showed that her ovarian reserve was diminished and she was told that her egg quality was most likely poor.

Functional posture imbalance in pelvic alignment can be assessed and rebalanced under RMT care. A functional postural change means that the soft tissues, such as muscle, fascia and ligaments, have altered by either shortening or lengthening. Imbalanced pelvic posture most commonly appears as a “Sway-back” or one hip higher then the other. Daily habits such as wearing heels or sitting cross legged, driving standard for long periods,

“My husband and I started trying to conceive shortly after we were married in July 2012. We didn't want to wait to long due to our age. We used ovulation urinary tests. Early in 2013 I began to talk to my family doctor about our concerns with fertility. I was referred for an ultrasound which led to a discovery that I had a polyp in my uterus.
