What is the program all about?
This 10-week program is based on the Mind/Body Fertility program created by Alice D. Domar, Ph.D. from Boston IVF, which has been shown to reduce stress and increase pregnancy rates. An infertility specialist will teach you a variety of skills including:
- Coping with feelings of depression, anger and anxiety.
- Dealing with negative thoughts.
- Resolving conflict with your partner and strengthening your relationship.
- Improving your communication with people close to you.
- Coping with the uncertainty and the waiting that accompanies infertility.
- Maintaining control in situations that "push your buttons."
- Making decisions when you find yourself at a crossroads.
- Building a strong support network for yourself.
Spouses are encouraged to attend certain weeks of the program.
Mind/body techniques such as yoga, breathing exercises, meditation, and visualization will be taught by Pulling Down the Moon yoga teachers who specialize in fertility.
