    About this ebook

    The first words out of my doctor's mouth were simple yet critical to my success. "Reduce stress", he said. I dismissed his statement just as many others do, but in the end it was those simple words I should have heeded in the first place. Had I understood ALL the hidden sources of stress and how stress was wreaking havoc on my emotions and body, I would have dealt with it much differently and I would not have had to wait so long to become a mother. Don't make the same mistake I did. You hold in your hands a simple yet powerful book that will reveal five things; where stress comes from and how it affects your body ~ how unresolved childhood adversity, stress and fear can affect fertility ~ five roadblocks that will keep you in the dark about what's really going on inside of you ~ the tough questions that you need to ask yourself to begin healing ~ and how to set your body free by re-framing childhood events and healing your emotions. Begin your journey to emotional healing now so you can eliminate any self-sabotaging tendencies that could be secretly blocking your fertility.

      Preface

      Thank you for purchasing Keys to Fertility and thank you for the opportunity and privilege of speaking into your life. I hope that I can offer you something that will bring you peace and renewed hope. I am sorry that your journey to motherhood has been so challenging and difficult thus far. What you have been through; the emotional upheaval and the ups and downs, I can’t even imagine. I have only had a very small taste of similar circumstances, but I am passionate to offer what I can to help. I know how important it is to you.

      There are many reasons why women have difficulty conceiving and birthing children and I don’t pretend to know them all, but I do know that stress can play a major role. There isn’t likely one key that will work for you, but likely many keys working in unison that could help you reach your goal. In addition to seeing their doctor, some women find that changing their diet helps; others may find that easing up on their exercise routine, drinking more water and getting professional counselling all helps. Regardless of your strategies, many times it is the combination of all of them put together that brings success. What I am offering you here in this book is just one strategy to add to your arsenal.

      I know that stress doesn’t seem that big of a deal; at least I remember thinking that it wasn’t, but now I know that it is. It can play a major role in many physical issues, like high blood pressure and obesity to name a few, but also in reproductive issues, like the absence of ovulation and implantation failure which incidentally occurs so early in pregnancy that we don’t even realize that it has happened.

      My goal with this book is three fold; 1. To understand the basics of stress; what hormones it triggers and how they affect the body. 2. To understand where stress is coming from, what is causing stress and how to alleviate it; it’s not as simple as you may think! And finally; 3. To heal from emotional stress and trauma.

      Let’s get started. If you’ve read through my website keytofertility.com already, feel free to skip the Introduction.

      Introduction

      Experts say that if you’ve been trying to have a baby for more than a year, you should seek medical help, however, if you’re over 35 years old, you should seek help after only six months. Of course it is up to you how far you go down this road as it can end up being emotionally draining, and stressful, among other things. Adoption is a very good option for many couples. Although adoption has its own challenges, it would be an incredible joy to bring a child who needs love and stability into your home and heart making them your own. Not only are their lives changed and enriched forever, our lives are as well.

      Each woman is going to respond differently to fertility struggles depending on a lot of things, but one of those factors is just how important it is to them to have their own biological children. Women have so much to offer the world around them going way beyond the potential to reproduce. Womanhood encompasses wisdom, insight, intelligence, compassion, the ability to nurture and love well and the most revered quality of a woman; the ability to multi-task! :)

      Some women who have had a significant delay in fertility may choose to adopt and some won’t. Some women will fight tooth and nail to birth children because they want to experience it all; some will be successful and others won’t. Those that aren’t, may eventually go on to adopt or foster or find the fulfillment they need in other
