My pregnancy journey so far (Ongoing 2nd Trimester) has been a mixture of emotions — Fear,Joy, anxiety, anticipation, and growth with some hiccups as I had miscarriage from my 1st pregnancy which was supported by Dr.Seema Jain to be mentally ready post reviewing the scan results.We were bit skeptical about making few decisions about the fertility treatment, However Dr.Seema Ma'am made sure we are well informed and clear about the alternative path to conceive .Later within couple of months I was able to conceive under guidance of Doctor. My appointments have been timely and informative.I appreciate clear communication and guidance during each month of my pregnancy journey so far.Ultrasound and lab test processes were smooth and efficient and reports were discussed and if there were any red flags it was addressed by Dr. Whenever we contacted the medical staff/Assistant Doctor we got the required support in our crucial/Emergency situation.Since its time for Pre natal Yoga,I had enrolled in further assistance which covered Topics like Prenatal yoga, Mental well being,Types of Delivery, Garbhasanskar, labor preparation, breastfeeding, and newborn care were covered well.I feel supported in managing pregnancy-related discomforts (Vomiting, nausea, etc.). as Doctor is available to address the queries.I am being guided well on supplements, and red flags to watch for.I'm thankful for the journey so far and hoping for a safe and smooth delivery.

Choosing Cloudnine Hospital was one of the most important and emotional decisions of our lives—and we are so grateful we did. From the very first consultation, the entire team showed exceptional compassion, professionalism, and expertise.Dr Seema Jain took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the process and never made us feel rushed or uninformed. We appreciated their honesty, their evidence-based approach, and their constant encouragement through what can be a very challenging journey.The nursing staff and support team were equally amazing—always available to answer questions, offer reassurance, and celebrate small milestones with us. The clinic was clean, well-organised, and ran efficiently, but still felt personal and warm.Thanks to the care and dedication of the team at Cloudnine Hospital and we couldn’t be more thankful.

We started consulting Dr. Seema Jain for ART treatment in 2024 since we had trouble conceiving. Considering we had crossed 34 years of age and our medical reports, she had suggested to proceed directly for IVF rather than trying other simpler treatments first. We were a bit concerned about directly starting IVF treatments but we decided to follow her advice. It took a few attempts, but we were finally able to successfully conceive in the third attempt. Over all these attempts, Dr. Seema ensured to modify the course of treatment after each attempt to maximize our chance of conception. Looking back now, we are glad we decided to follow her initial advice. Throughout our journey over the past year, Dr. Seema & her team have been readily available to address our concerns and queries. We sincerely recommend Dr. Seema Jain for your journey to parenthood.

Our journey to becoming parents began in 2021, and honestly, for a long time we wanted to believe it would be a straight shot, after each trial. After trying on our own for a bit, we explored options like a laparoscopy and IUI. When those didn't help, in late 2023, IVF became our next big step under Dr. Seema Jain.Our first embryo transfer didn't go well, which was a huge blow. We dusted ourselves off and tried again, and our second transfer actually resulted in a pregnancy, but heartbreakingly, the numbers weren't quite right, meaning another loss. Then, the third transfer also failed, leaving us feeling pretty worn out and wondering if this was even going to happen for us.Through all those tough moments, our fertility team was supportive. They were so good about explaining everything, no matter how many questions we threw at them. Their medical team's knowledge and genuinely caring approach really helped us make sense of all the complicated stuff and get through those incredibly difficult decisions.After those initial struggles, we went through another egg retrieval, and thankfully, we ended up with six healthy embryos. We decided to hit pause for a while, which was probably the best decision we made. That break gave us time to recharge emotionally and mentally. When we felt ready, we went for our very first frozen embryo transfer, and to our absolute disbelief and joy, it worked!This whole experience taught us so much about not giving up! Our strongest takeaway message for any couple fertility treatments is this: stand strong together, believe in your own journey, and remember that with the right guidance, everything is possible. Trusting your instincts, when things are tough, is just as vital as the medical treatments themselves. We're incredibly thankful to Dr. Seema Jain and her entire team who stood by us all the time.

My journey to motherhood was a long one—two years filled with ups and downs, uncertainty, and emotional moments. But throughout this challenging time, Dr. Seema Jain was a constant source of hope and positivity 💫.What truly stood out about her was her unwavering optimism. Even when treatments didn’t work or we faced setbacks, she never gave up on me. She never used negative words or made me feel like I was the problem. Instead, she always said, “We will try again.” That hope she gave me, time and again, is something I will never forget 🌈.Today, I am blessed with a healthy baby boy 👶🏻, conceived naturally—and I truly believe it was possible because of the treatments and guidance I received from her. It was her careful approach, her encouragement, and her belief in me that made this miracle happen 💖.Another remarkable aspect of my experience was the incredible support from the entire office staff. They were always warm, well-organized, and attentive, ensuring that every visit was smooth and stress-free. It’s truly rare to come across a doctor whose dedication is so perfectly matched by a team that shares the same compassion and professionalism 🙌🏼.I am deeply grateful to Dr. Seema Jain—not just for her medical expertise, but for her compassion, patience, and positivitythroughout my entire journey. She is not just a doctor; she is a true blessing for anyone hoping to become a parent 🙏🏼✨.

We had been trying for baby for quite sometime and then we consulted Seema Jain ma’am. Post consultation with her, we got positive result within 6 months. She didn’t enforce any unnecessary treatment or procedure, just with basic medication and few treatment, I got positive result. The consultation process throughout my pregnancy was very smooth, got proper guidance and prescriptions at every step. Her whole team is very professional, and assisted us very nicely. Thanks to her and whole team.

It was the best experience with Dr.Seema Jain.She understands your problem and issues and then opts for the treatment. We are in contact with Dr. Seema Jain since 2021. With her guidance and support we conceived in our first try but had to terminate the pregnancy due to some issues. But she never lost hope and again we gave a fresh start and this time we conceived again and that too blessed with twins. The journey still was a bit difficult for us but still Dr. Seema Jain made sure that everything goes smoothly for us. In the last trimester, Due to high BP doctor advised us to go for a c-section in 36 weeks. Me and my husband were a bit nervous but again she as a super women made everything easy for us and under her guidance we delivered a baby girl and baby boy. Thank you so much Doctor for the support and guidance.

We consulted Dr. Seema Jain when we were planning for a baby. After the +ve pregnancy test there was a minor risk. The doctor handled it with a lot of diligence due to which our twin pregnancy stayed secured. Our pregnancy and delivery experience has been good. Delivery happened at a premature stage but in the right way and the right time. Both my babies are healthy and growing beautifully.We would highly recommend Dr. Seema Jain for a safe and secure journey to parenthood. Indeed the best gynaec in Pune!

Dr. Seema is one of the best gynecologist in city. She is a woman of less words but a lot of positivity and full of energy. Her work speaks for her knowledge and experience.  Best part is she never prescribed unnecessary medicines and treatments until it's really required. Much thanks to Seema M'am for the normal delivery without any complications. I would recommend expecting mothers to be under her guidance and enjoy this experience.

I have been a patient of Dr. Seema since 2020. I randomly had gone to get my ovaries health checked before planning for a baby and to my surprise I found that i wasn't ovulating regularly. Dr Seema patiently explained me the root cause of it with solution. She started with some guidance than jumping onto medicines directly. After some relief from covid chaos I went to her again with negative pregnancy test and that's when she suggested me to start with some low dozed medications. Due to her expertise and faith I kept on moving along with her plan patiently and one day finally saw two pink lines on the test kit. When I showed her that kit she was immensely happy for us. I trust her with treatment and support. She has always been kind to me and kept encouraging me to embrace my pregnancy journey. Another important factor is she pushes for normal delivery...which is great. Not to forget her staff has always been supportive and helpful. Always smiling and greeting you. Few months back we were blessed with a baby boy. I am thankful to Dr. Seema Jain for giving us the chance to become happy parents to our child. Lots of love to you ma'am. 🥰🥰

Impact of stress on male and female fertility

Infertility Specialist Doctor in Tathawade
Consult Now-

Introduction

Fertility challenges are becoming more common worldwide. While medical conditions like hormonal imbalances and reproductive disorders are well known, one factor that often slips under the radar is stress. Emotional strain, lifestyle pressure, and prolonged anxiety do not just affect the mind but also disrupt reproductive health in both men and women.

According to Dr. Seema Jain, Fertility Specialist at Ravet, stress is a hidden obstacle in many infertility cases. Addressing it can significantly improve the chances of conception, whether naturally or with assisted reproductive techniques.

 

Understanding Stress and Its Physiological Effects

Stress is the body’s natural response to demanding situations. However, when stress becomes chronic, it alters hormonal balance and disrupts normal biological functions.

  • Hormonal pathway: Stress activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, releasing cortisol and adrenaline.
  • Reproductive impact: Elevated cortisol interferes with reproductive hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
  • System-wide effect: Chronic stress affects sleep, immunity, digestion, and metabolism, all of which indirectly influence fertility.

As a leading Fertility Doctor at Ravet, Dr. Seema Jain notes that couples experiencing unexplained infertility often show symptoms of long-term stress.

Egg Health & Ovarian Reserve By Dr. Seema Jain IVF Specialist in Pimple Saudagar

The Link Between Stress and Female Fertility

Stress in women can significantly affect ovulation, implantation, and menstrual regularity.

  • Menstrual cycle disruption: Stress suppresses the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), leading to irregular or absent periods.
  • Reduced ovarian reserve: Prolonged cortisol release can accelerate ovarian aging.
  • Implantation failure: Stress reduces blood flow to the uterus, making implantation more difficult.
  • Pregnancy complications: Chronic anxiety increases the risk of miscarriage and preterm delivery.

According to Dr. Seema Jain, Fertility Specialist at Ravet, stress-related hormonal imbalance is one of the most underestimated causes of female infertility.

How Stress Affects Male Reproductive Health

Men are equally vulnerable to stress-induced fertility issues. Stress impacts sperm production, quality, and overall sexual health.

  • Sperm count reduction: Stress lowers testosterone, impairing spermatogenesis.
  • Poor motility: Stress hormones increase oxidative stress, which hampers sperm motility.
  • Morphology issues: Prolonged stress leads to abnormal sperm shapes, affecting fertilization capacity.
  • Sexual dysfunction: Stress contributes to erectile dysfunction and reduced libido.

Dr. Seema Jain, Fertility Doctor at Ravet, highlights that stress not only reduces sperm quality but also interferes with treatment outcomes in procedures like IVF or ICSI.

Combined Impact of Stress on Couples

When both partners experience stress, the overall fertility outcome is compromised. Stress in couples can:

  • Lower the chances of conception despite regular ovulation and healthy sperm.
  • Reduce success rates of assisted reproductive technologies (ART).
  • Create emotional strain in relationships, further worsening stress and fertility outcomes.

Dr. Seema Jain, Fertility Specialist at Ravet, emphasizes that addressing stress in both partners is essential to improving fertility chances.

Scientific Data and Clinical Evidence

Numerous studies have confirmed the correlation between stress and fertility.

Study/Source

Key Findings

Fertility Outcome

WHO Infertility Report, 2020

Couples under stress showed higher ART failure

Emotional and physiological burden combined

As explained by Dr. Seema Jain, Fertility Doctor at Ravet, the scientific evidence leaves little doubt that stress directly interferes with reproductive health.

Practical Ways to Manage Stress for Better Fertility Outcomes

Couples can adopt effective methods to reduce stress and improve fertility outcomes:

  • Mind-body techniques: Yoga, meditation, and deep breathing lower cortisol.
  • Physical activity: Regular exercise improves hormone balance and blood flow.
  • Adequate sleep: Restorative sleep regulates reproductive hormones.
  • Nutritional support: Diet rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and whole foods helps reduce oxidative stress.
  • Counseling: Professional therapy reduces anxiety and strengthens emotional well-being.
  • Support groups: Sharing experiences with others facing fertility struggles reduces isolation.

According to Dr. Seema Jain, Fertility Specialist at Ravet, couples who combine medical treatment with stress management often see improved reproductive outcomes.

 

When to Seek Medical Guidance

It is important to seek professional help when:

  • Stress is persistent and interferes with daily life.
  • There are irregular menstrual cycles or unexplained infertility.
  • Male partners show reduced sperm quality or sexual dysfunction.
  • Previous fertility treatments such as IUI or IVF have failed.

In these situations, consulting a skilled Fertility Doctor at Ravet like Dr. Seema Jain ensures that both the medical and emotional aspects of infertility are addressed.

FAQs Most Frequent Asked Questions

Stress elevates cortisol levels, which suppresses the hypothalamus from releasing GnRH. Without GnRH, the pituitary does not release luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), leading to disrupted ovulation cycles.

Yes. Chronic stress lowers testosterone and increases oxidative damage, which can lead to lasting reductions in sperm quality. However, with stress management and medical care, improvements are usually seen within three to six months.

Not always. Some individuals can handle stress without major fertility issues. However, when stress becomes chronic and hormonal imbalances persist, it significantly lowers the chances of conception.

Yes. Elevated stress during IVF cycles is linked to lower implantation rates and higher dropout rates. Specialists like Dr. Seema Jain, Fertility Specialist at Ravet, recommend stress management as part of fertility care.

Treatment depends on the cause. Options include counseling, stress-reducing medications, hormone regulation, and assisted reproductive technologies. A qualified Fertility Doctor at Ravet such as Dr. Seema Jain creates personalized plans combining medical and psychological support.
