Restoring Fertility Yoga

[JustMeNewMom]

Has anyone tried Restoring Fertility Yoga?

I've just received my DVD and have done 3 sessions so far, and about 7 sessions to date of Fertility 4 Yoga by Brenda Strong since last month (Feb 2011). I'm charting my progress in my journal (link in my sig) and would be very interested to hear from anyone who has done any yoga for fertility and what DVD you're using etc.

Thx in advance

This sounds an excellent DVD, I would love to try it. DO they deliver to the UK? x

Hi happyshopper, I live in the UK too and had wanted the Restoring Fertility Yoga for Optimal Fertility by Drs. Brandon Horn, PhD, LAc (FABORM) and Wendy Yu PhD(c), LAc (FABORM) for a long time but Amazon didn't deliver to the UK and I couldn't find any other seller that would deliver it to the UK which was very disappointing. I solved it by asking a friend of mine in the US to help and I bought it and had it delivered to her address; and she kindly forwarded it on to me and I paid her for the postage.

There are some websites out there that allow you to rent a USA postbox where you can purchase US Amazon items such as the DVD above; and they will then courier the purchases on to you. Could be useful if you buy a lot of Amazon US items that aren't shipped to the UK though as I was only buying the one item, I asked my friend to help instead. If she hadn't been able to help, I would have rented a US postbox just to buy the Fertility Yoga DVD as I wanted it that much! I'm glad I bought it and am excited about how the rest of the month will pan out for me fertility wise. I'm on D9 of my cycle and am on the Follicular Phase of Yoga and start a different phase tomorrow ready for ovulation ... I think it's called the Ovulatory Phase.

A woman on Amazon said she got pregnant twice shortly after using the DVD but sadly miscarried cos of her embroyo quality. It has already helped my libido, flexibility, health, energy levels, (I used Fertility 4 Yoga by Brenda Strong for a few weeks (which I really enjoyed) before I received my Restoring Fertility Yoga DVD), mucus production and I do look forward to doing the yoga daily as I know I'm contributing towards the health of my uterus and ovaries in some way as they are massaged and treated with the yoga and acupuncture practices in the sessions.

You can get the Yoga 4 Fertility by Brenda Strong DVD in the UK on Amazon UK. It has some similiar postures and flows more; though I believe the Restoring Fertility is probably more fine tuned to fertility and getting pregnant for couples. Good luck!!

Yes it is a shame. Don't understand why they do that myself at all.

For samples of Fertility 4 Yoga by Brenda Strong, here's some snippet exercises on You Tube:

I've never heard of this, but it looks amazing. I'm going to have to pop on over to your journal to see how it's been working for you. Hope you don't mind another stalker

I ordered mine 2 months ago and only did it once Now I'm motivated to pull it out and start it! I did enjoy the one time I did it. Keep me posted if you think it helps you get your bfp!!! I'm gonna start mine tomorrow!

Hi Stash777, all journal stalkers welcome as the journey of ttc is a lonely one indeed without companionship and/or support and hubbies can only do so much.

Hi StranjeGirl, it would be lovely to share the journey with you ie in how you progress with Restoring Fertility Yoga. I'm charting my progress on my journal. I'll keep track of you

 

[Stash777]

Justme - DH tries as much as he can, but all he really cares about is if it's time for so I can only tell him so much. Plus, all of my friends have LOs by surprise so they have a difficult time relating to me with the whole ttc journey. I absolutely love this site and I've learned a lot through the ladies here.

Sounds great! I recently had a leep procedure done and am having some bleeding all of a sudden so I better hold off on the yoga until it stops. Please keep me posted and I will do the same!!

Ijust saw in your journal that you also use circle and bloom. I have been using it on and off and really like it!

Hi Stash777, understood re hubbie. I wasn't very happy with mine last night and we ended up not talking all night with no . Same here re friends as they mean well but are on their own journey and not interested in hearing baby talk day in and day out. Forums are a life saver with so many people out there on the same journey as us

Hi StranjeGirl, understood re holding off until the bleeding stops. I didn't do my Restoring Fertility Yoga tonite either as my throat has been croaky all day and I think I may have picked up my husband's cough/cold virus that has been hoovering around him the weekend. I just hope mine doesn't go anywhere, just hoovers and goes away tomorrow. Not a good time to have a cold as I'm in my ovulation week! I will keep my journal updated .

And yes I use Circle and Bloom as well on a daily basis. Am fairly new to it and listen to it on the bus to and from work and tend to fall asleep most times listening to it which is frustrating as I'd like to remember what I heard! It's hard to find the time at home and if I listen to it in bed, well I fall asleep again!

Ha ha I fall asleep almost every time! I have listened to day 9 for like 4 cycles now and I just heard the end of it tonight. It is very relaxing for sure!
I honestly think it might help to be sick when you are ovulating. I have this weird theory that our body attacks the fertilized egg, and I feel like if we are sick our immune system is busy taking care of something else. Just my totally odd opinion that has no backing, but I say that with your sore throat this is your month!!

I've heard people say that before ie helps to be sick when ovulating. I always get nervous that the egg will be damaged in some way if I'm ill ! Fingers crossed hey ... hopefully it's baby dancing and tonite to pave the way for our baby to come into our lives for Christmas
