Frequently Asked Questions
常见问题
Can stress actually affect fertility and IVF outcomes? 压力真的会影响生育能力和试管婴儿结果吗？
Research suggests chronic high stress can disrupt hormonal balance involved in ovulation and implantation. While stress alone is rarely the sole cause of infertility, managing it may support both physical outcomes and the emotional resilience needed to persist through treatment.
研究表明，慢性高压力可能会破坏涉及排卵和着床的激素平衡。虽然压力本身很少是不孕的唯一原因，但管理压力可能有助于身体结果以及坚持治疗所需的情感韧性。
When should I practice this during an IVF cycle? 在试管婴儿周期中我应该什么时候练习这个？
Daily practice is ideal throughout the cycle. Key high-anxiety moments include stimulation phase injections, egg retrieval, embryo transfer, and the two-week wait. A short 5-minute session before each procedure can help regulate your nervous system for the appointment ahead.
整个周期的每日练习是理想的。关键的高焦虑时刻包括促排卵注射、取卵、胚胎移植和两周等待期。每次手术前进行5分钟的短暂练习可以帮助调节你的神经系统，为接下来的预约做好准备。
