Being unable to get pregnant when you want to can be a huge source of stress, anxiety, and depression.

Meditation, yoga, music therapy, walking, conversation with the partner does help in reducing stress. The goal of stress reduction is to minimise, not eliminate stress, by finding the technique that serves the patients needs the best.
