Emotions and fertility
When we are looking for pregnancy, and especially if it takes longer than desired, we experience endless emotions and sensations, very different from each other and which tend to change depending on the moment of the cycle in which you are.
In this post I want to talk to you about emotions, about recognizing them, accepting them and giving them an outlet so that, not denying any of them, but living the best you can while the desired positive arrives.
The most recommended way is; RECOGNIZE, FACE AND RECONDUGE
Recognize emotions 🎯
We have to start by recognizing the emotions we are feeling, sometimes an anguish, fear or regret we feel and how we avoid it, we do not analyze where it comes from. As a momentary survival method, it is not a bad method, but the search for pregnancy is a long-distance race and we have to identify these fears and anxieties to know them, and why not, confront them.
So, I invite you to when you feel discomfort, stop for a moment and being calm, inquire, what do you think is the source of that discomfort, a comment, a test, that menstruation has dropped, a discussion ... Once you detect the focus, while still feeling, think why you feel that and if it makes sense or not. At the same time, test to see if the emotion that you feel really fits that focus that you have detected and accepts the emotion that you are feeling.
Doing this that I am telling you, seems very obvious and very easy, but it really is very difficult and this is where emotional education is born.
At this point, it is key to say that there are no "bad" emotions, all in themselves are emotions, with better or worse connotations, it is clear! like them, because the shadow that is created can be very dark.
Once recognized, we must face them 👈
If you have already focused on that emotion and you know what focus is creating it, you must face it. If the period has come again, we must face how we are going to organize the next cycle, what I will do, what I will improve, how I will face it, etc.
If it is because of a fertility diagnosis that we wish we had not received, what are we going to do, how can we improve it, what next steps are there and how do I feel about them?
And so with all those lights that are creating conflict for us, courageous courage!
Once faced, we redirect 👌
Perfect, now we have the emotions identified and we already know where they come from. Brava! At this moment it is time to redirect the situation, so that, without it surely ceasing to exist, it does not stop you, it does not freeze you, you can overcome yourself and move on.
It is possible that to redirect any of the situations that exist in fertility you need professional help, be it from a gynecologist, biologist, nutritionist, psychologist and a long etcetera, do not be shy, if you need it, they are there to help you and shape your project. As things that you can already do, you can perform relaxation, breathing and mindfulness techniques aimed at body relaxation and the search for pregnancy.
I know that there are days when all this can seem very obvious and banal and others impossible and, in addition, these differences can be closely related if we are in the fertile week, if we are in reproduction treatment, in beta wait, if we have a negative or we have lowered menstruation. The emotions are going to be on the surface and to which we jump. The important thing is to accept what we feel, we are human and looking for a pregnancy is a vital project, be patient and love yourself and if you need it, do not hesitate for a minute to ask for help.
