What usually does a woman or couple who can't get pregnant do? Of course, he turns to doctors, who prescribe an extensive examination in order to make a diagnosis and begin appropriate treatment. And then the woman or couple, together with the doctors, begins to struggle with various diagnoses that stand in the way of the long-awaited pregnancy. I myself have walked this path, and I had to communicate a lot with other women who faced difficulties getting pregnant and carrying a child. Almost everyone has the feeling from this process that these difficulties cling to one another - they dealt with one diagnosis, another one came to light, they just cured this one, and found something else. As a rule, this process takes not months, but years. Of course, you don’t want to wait so long for your baby, and numerous visits to the doctor, taking medications and repeated failures called “one more line” do not cause the most pleasant feelings. Working with a psychologist helps to shorten this path, no matter how paradoxical it may sound. Man is first and foremost an animal. When I myself encountered difficulties in getting pregnant and bearing a child, I was amazed that the presence of a medical diagnosis in a particular case may not mean anything, and there are many cases of absolutely miraculous conceptions - with obstruction of the tubes, inflammation after surgical interventions, hormonal disorders and etc. I wondered how this happens. My experience is that we often forget that we are not only highly intelligent and highly spiritual creatures, but also animals. If you look at the human body as an animal body, then the first question in the context of our topic is how animals reproduce and in what situations this is difficult. Biology dictates that animals reproduce poorly when there are unfavorable changes in living conditions (for example, in captivity, climate change, the disappearance of other species that were food): the usual way of life does not help to survive, you need to adapt to new conditions, there is no time for reproduction – the offspring may not survive. For reproduction, humans, like animals, need environmental stability. If conditions are too unstable, the balance of the body’s internal environment is disrupted and in response to this, a stress reaction is activated, designed to mobilize the body’s defenses and adapt to existence in new conditions. This is a difficult task - not always and not every organism copes with it easily. In addition, human genetic memory takes into account that reproduction is an energy-consuming process, and the mother must have the necessary reserves of strength to cope with pregnancy, childbirth and child care for at least 1 year. After all, a human child is born completely helpless and is unable to survive without a parent. If the body's strength is spent fighting stressors, it most likely will not have the necessary safety margin. Our habitat is human society. It is important to note that the habitat for humans, unlike animals, is not only a point on a geographical map with corresponding biological and environmental conditions, but also human society. Therefore, the stability of the environment is influenced by social values, traditions, stereotypes and, perhaps to the greatest extent, the specific relationships of a particular person (in the family, at work, with friends, with oneself). All this suggests that if you are faced with the problem of infertility , check whether you have this very stability of the environment, and look for where the strength of your body goes. For example, as in my personal case, if you work in a stressful job for 10-12 hours a day, and sometimes even without days off, then obviously your body is not in the mood for reproduction right now. Or, for example, if you and your husband (or first child, or mother or some other close and important person) have such a relationship that you live “like on a volcano,” then this could be/
