Affirmations are powerful, positive statements that are used to challenge and overcome self-sabotaging and negative thoughts (why do I feel like this definition is pointing fingers directly at me?).
These short, encouraging phrases are designed to shift your mindset, boost your self-esteem, and gain a more optimistic outlook on your fertility journey and frankly life in general because we all need a little more positivity in EVERY aspect.
By repeating affirmations regularly, you can rewire your thought patterns, replacing self-doubt and negativity with self-belief and positivity.
Positivity is incredibly important in the world of fertility. Maintaining a positive outlook and emotional well-being during whatever fertility journey you are on can have, well, a positive impact on both mental and physical health.
Stress, anxiety, and negative emotions can trigger hormonal imbalances. If you haven’t read my article Decoding PCOS: Helping you Understand the Mystery Behind PCOS, go check it out to learn how hormonal imbalances can negatively effect fertility. Conversely, a positive mindset can reduce stress and enhance the body’s overall balance.
Positivity can also lead to healthier lifestyle choices, like balanced nutrition and regular exercise, which support fertility. Moreover, optimism fosters resilience and determination, crucial attributes for navigating the challenges that fertility struggles can bring.
While it’s not a guarantee of conception, cultivating positivity can create an environment that’s more conducive to fertility and ultimately improve the overall experience of the journey.
How To Do Daily Affirmations
Let me start by saying, there is no wrong way to do your affirmations. But, if you feel stuck or need some help, here is a quick step-by-step guide to help you get started with your daily fertility affirmations:
STEP 1: Choose Affirmations that are Right for YOU
Take inspiration from a quick google search for ‘fertility affirmations’. Try asking Alexa or Siri, look on Pinterest, check down below (hint. hint.) or you can go hop on over to Instagram and check out The Hopeful Mommy’s Instagram page to follow my highlights as I take you with me for #365DaysofAffirmations.
My suggestion is to look for positive, encouraging words that speak to you. You could even create your own daily affirmations. I promise, as long as you stay positive, you can not pick the wrong words. ♥
STEP 2: Set a Routine
Consistency is key, so decide when and how often you’ll practice your affirmations. Most people find mornings and/or evenings to be the most effective times, because they help set a positive tone for the day or encourage relaxation before sleep. You can also repeat them throughout the day or whenever you feel the need for a positivity boost.
STEP 3: Find a Quiet Space (or Don't)
Choose a peaceful, quiet space where you can focus without distractions. Whether it’s a cozy corner in your home or a serene spot outdoors, make sure it’s a place where you feel comfortable and can fully engage with the affirmations.
Personally, I do mine in front of the mirror while I am getting ready with really loud music in the morning. Then at night when my husband is sleeping and I go to wash my face before bed. You do whatever works for you!!
STEP 4: Relax and Repeat
Take a moment and let go of any stress or tension. Deep breaths can help. The goal is to create a space in which the affirmations can have the most impact.
Speak the affirmations out loud or to yourself but speak them with intention and belief. It’s essential to truly feel the words and connect with their positive energy. You can also write them down in a journal or use visualization techniques to enhance their impact.
Some fun ways to sprinkle them in and help make a habit could be writing them on your bathroom mirror, sticky notes and place in your car (or anywhere), on the fridge, or write it down and use it as a bookmark. 🙂
STEP 5: Stay Positive and Persistent
Fertility affirmations are most effective when practiced regularly and over time. I recommend setting an alarm if you have a hard time staying consistent.
Don’t be discouraged if you don’t see immediate results. Trust in the power of positive thinking and the impact it can have on your emotional well-being.

Don't Knock it before you try it
It’s honest hour here and I have to say, when I first heard about affirmations and started reading different daily mantras, I thought, ‘this is so silly,’ but kept going.
As I read more and more affirmations, I kid you not, I started to feel so good inside, even comfortable and at ease. Wow! That was a feeling that I hadn’t felt in so long. Lately, it had just been let down after let down and it was just natural for me to be borderline pessimistic.
HELLO… I have been preaching this stuff for weeks now and I need to take my own advice. As of today, I am on day 3 of Clomid for our 4th and final attempt at IUI (intrauterine insemination). THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME TO START MY AFFIRMATIONS. Follow along everyday with me on Instagram. If you missed a day, no worries, I save all my affirmations to my highlight. ♥
Let me know in the comments if you ended up trying any of these fertility affirmations or if you decided to create your own. Would love to hear from yall! ♥
