When conception is the goal, Keep A Positive Perspective has done studies that have shown a woman's physical health may not be the only issue. These studies have proven that having negative feelings will also tend to affect your odds for conception. The fact is that as stress levels tend rise, the fertility levels can lower. One thing that's important is not be overly concerned about getting pregnant quickly. Everyone has their own way of relaxing, so you might think about what you choose to do when you want to relax. For some women it might mean slipping into a warm, fragrant, candlelit bath. For others, they may need a little extra help. A couple options that can make a tremendous difference to your mental state are aromatherapy massages or a reflexology session.
