"So what does science tell us about the mind-body connection behind negative thoughts and emotions affecting the organs of the second emotional center?
Studies have found that the rate of infertility and menstrual cycle irregularities is higher in women who have inner conflicts about being a mother and who are worried about changes in their bodies. WHile they feel social pressure to have children, motherhood may not fit in with their long term goals. The emotional stress surrounding this issue increases cortisol and decreases progesterone, which hurts successful implantation of the embryo into the uterus. It also decreases oxy tocin and increases norepinephrine and epinephrine; all of this works together to suppress sex hormones and turn off the mechanism that pulls sperm up into the uterus.
If a man is under a lot of pressure, the anxiety he experiences causes his body to produce antibodies that make sperm "impotent" as they say. "
