How comes if you want a baby so bad you can't get pregnant? Why does the stress of it make it less easy to get pregnant?

Because when stressed you produce a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol inhibits ovulation. Which is why people should bear in mind that it takes up to 2 years for nature to take its course and not go into a tizz if it does not happen straight away.

Doesn't this make you mad?? I tried for 4 1/2 years and each time I say that someone had dumped a infant in a dumpster I got madder and madder. Don't give up and keep changing doctors until you find one that you love. I got mine through word of mouth and he was the nicest warmest dr. I have ever had. Now I have two beautiful healthy children. Good luck! By the way I got sick of everyone telling me to just relax and the stress was stopping me from getting pregnant . This is such a myth and is irritating for fertility patients!

Our emotional health and physical health are linked in ways we don't even understand completely. The article in the link below contains further links to how laughter, yoga, alternative therapy and talk therapy can all increase fertility and odds of conception.
A healthy mind, a healthy body and a life in order are all great things to offer a new baby as a parent, but getting pregnant is not like going shopping. Just because you want something isn't a good enough reason to have it.

Because the hormone Cortisol that you produce when you are stressed has a negative effect on your body. Causing mood swings, tiredness, depression etc The body is a sensitive thing and wants the best conditions for growing a baby so its no wonder it becomes difficult to become pregnant.

I followed the weight loss methods described on this site http://yogafitness.toptips.org

When you are stressed your body goes into 'fight or flight' mode. It prepares you to run from danger or fight for your life. In this situation the sympathetic nervous system takes over which de-prioritises all non-essential functions so you can cope with the danger. So reproduction is de-proritised because it is not essential when you are fighting for you life.
This type of stress is only intended to be short term, but in modern life we can have chronic long term stress and this can make is harder to conceive (as well as digest food and other functions)

I don't know it doesn't seem fair does it? I've been trying for the last 6 years without success and you hear of other people getting pregnant without even trying or wanting one!

You're right, actually, stress is a factor in not being able to fall pregnant.

because your body doesn't function properly with high levels of stress
like when you stress out that you're pregnant and your period doesn't come but you really aren't pregnant
it just happens like that
I guess its the chemical balance or hormones

seriously its not a big deal. You get to have lots more unprotected sex why would you care. Just think of it this way, either you get pregnant or your having amazing sex all the time. Its a win-win situation and if you think your just having great sex not to conceive you be less stressed and more likely too. GL ;p
