Typically clients who come for fertility hypnosis have been having difficulty getting pregnant naturally. Many have begun A.R.T., or have had more than one I.V.F. and want to increase their chances of getting pregnant by decreasing the stress they are under, through hypnosis.

A recent study (2004), by Eliyahu Levitas, P.h.d., showed that women who received hypnosis at I.V.F. embryo transfer doubled their chances of becoming pregnant. Levitas believes that hypnosis may have a tranquilizing affect that can increase central relaxation, and decrease the peak of stress that often occurs at embryo transfer. This is important because high stress levels can cause the uterus to contract, potentially affecting transplant success. For women who don’t live near enough to come for HypnoFertility sessions, or for local clients who want Hypnotherapeutic support at the moment of I.V.F. transfer, I now offer ”I.V.F. Assist” which is a personalized cd or tape made to be used during your I.V.F. transplant to minimize stress and anxiety and maximize deep relaxation which supports the transplant process.
