Is there a link between stress and infertility

Condition analysis:
The role of stress and reproductive failure has been well documented.66 There are studies indicating the relationship between stress and infertility.  Stress has also been suggested to be linked with unsuccessful IVF.

Stress hormones such as catecholamines (adrenalin, noradrenalin, and dopamine) and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis interact with hormones that are responsible for normal ovulatory cycles (i.e., GnRH, prolactin, LH, and FSH). Furthermore, some hormones that are released during times of stress can cause the uterus to contract and/or negatively interact with immune cells, both of which will interfere with proper implantation. Despite the well-known link between stress and infertility, the importance of stress management and relaxation is often underestimated. Regular practice of stress management and relaxation exercises is very important, especially considering the fact that the medical tests and treatments for infertility are some of the major sources of stress for many women with infertility.
