Hypnosis for IVF – double your chance for successful fertilization!
Research has shown that hypnosis for fertility can double the success of IVF treatment. But how does it do this? Well, essentially there are two main objectives for hypnosis in IVF:
- relaxation and preparation of the body for fertilization
- identification and removal of fears and unconscious objections to pregnancy
Let’s look at these more closely.
Preparing the body for fertilization
One reason for IVF failing is that the womb is in a contracted state during the crucial embryo transfer stage. Hypnosis can be applied with specific suggestions to relax the body and allow the fertilization process to proceed.
Relaxation will also help the body become chemically more receptive to fertilization. Remember that our thoughts directly affect the levels of hormones in our bodies, and high levels of stress don’t only diminish sex drive – they diminish reproductive capacity as well. The body needs to feel that everything is OK before it opens up to the possibility of pregnancy, so stress needs to be dealt with.
Another factor is simple performance anxiety. It’s like when you can’t sleep and the harder you try the more awake you become. Couples trying to fall pregnant can often end up putting so much pressure on themselves they end up closing down a process that should be effortless. When your lover becomes just a ‘sperm donor’, that’s a sign that you need a bit of a holiday! Hypnosis can help restore your inner sense of being OK with yourself no matter what happens, so you can safely take the pressure off and restore some of the softness and light-heartedness to the relationship. And remember, babies like softness and light-heartedness too!
Resolution of unconscious objections
Without knowing it, you may be holding some deep fears about the consequences of pregnancy. This is where you will benefit from working directly with a therapist who can help you uncover any of these unconscious patterns. But you can begin your own process of discovery simply by going within and asking yourself questions like these:
- Is there someone you know or who are close to, now or in the past, who had a bad time with pregnancy or with bringing up a child?
- What benefits are there to not having a child (or another child)?
- Will you lose something important to you if you have a child?
- What phase of life will fall away when you have a child?
- How do you really feel about your partner?
- If there is any part of you that objects to this pregnancy, who is it?
- What scary thing that might happen if you do fall pregnant?
Some of those questions are a little challenging and they might not apply to you, but if any of them grab your attention, just sit with them for a while and see what comes up. You might get a valuable insight.

It’s a good idea to work with a therapist in person, especially if you think there might be some unconscious objections at work. But if you just want to restore a sense of hope and possibility, and you want to guide your body and mind into a receptive state for pregnancy, you might benefit from listening to a self-hypnosis recording. The power of belief can really work miracles. Have a look at this Hypnosis for Infertility session and see if it appeals to you.
