There remains much to be learned regarding the relationship between stress and reproduction. There is no doubt that stress an lead to ovulation problems, but short of this the impact of stress on reproduction is not known. Their is a growing body of evidence that stress reduction improves the chance of conceiving. Being part of a university medical system and a multigroup practice affords us the opportunity to work closely with the Division of Integrative Medicine in an attempt to help curtail your stress during the evaluation and treatment process. Along these lines, many benefit from belonging to a support group or working closely with a mental health professional. We encourage involvement with RESOLVE. RESOLVE is a national organization run by and for people with infertility. Its mission is to support couples embarking upon this journey. We also work closely with several dedicated support specialists.
