I stumbled across this recently: a survey of 1,000 women in 10 countries found that nearly half of them believe they're infertile because of “God's will” and half also feel infertility is attributable to “bad luck”.

The study covered the countries of China, India, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Malaysia.
Hopefully my readers and Houston Fertility Center patients know by now that what is in your mind – whether it's stressful emotions or negative beliefs – is NOT the cause of your infertility. But the study highlights how self-defeating thoughts can certainly prevent you from taking the steps necessary to resolve your problems, including infertility.
Yes, your beliefs can get in the way of your getting pregnant, but only if you let misinformation prevent you from believing that the conditions causing infertility are physiological and treatable – not “only in your mind”.
