Hi
I've been using guided imagery and though I'm not pregnant yet, I feel very good about doing the imagery work. For eg. even if I'm in a bad space about not being pregnant when I spend some time doing the imagery work I feel more positive about it all and like I'm on the right path. The site I got it from is https://www.fertileheart.com/
and I also read both her books which were great, though the first one Inconceivable was a stronger one. These aren't specifically for IVF, but they're great exercises.
Hope this helps, RR

I went to a hypnotherapist to help with IVF, specifically the egg collection process. I had a couple of sessions with him and he made me a couple of CDs. One to practice with and one to use on the day.

I thought it was brilliant. I conceived twins and I feel that was in part due to his assistance.

Helen.. how did you find the hypnotherapist? I think i might try it out... ive used self hypnosis cd's for losing weight in the past and they worked for me so at least i know i do respond to hypnosis. ive seen cd's you can buy on the net as well... not sure if they the same?

He was someone recommended by a couple of friends who'd seen him over unrelated things (fear of flying).

He'd not dealt with anything like fertility issues before but he was a nurse before taking up hypnotherapy and I think that helped his understanding of what to cover.

I think you can find a list of registered/approved(?) therapists online somewhere so it might be worth ringing a couple of them and seeing who you feel comfortable with if you don't know anyone else who's used one locally to you.

As a guide, it cost me £80 for 2 sessions and the 2 CDs back in 2006.
