I am very excited that the latest version of my recently released iPhone application – Fertility Affirmations – is now live in the iTunes store. Although it has only been up a few weeks, sales have been very good and I only hope that it has been helping couples conceive. This latest version includes a set of tips relating to each affirmation in the set. The idea is that the tips give you practical advice and positive ways of applying the affirmation to your life and therefore increase your chances of success!

Issues around fertility are important and personal for me, as I battled to fall pregnant with my first daughter. After two years of ‘getting my body right’ in terms of being off the contraceptive pill, fit and healthy etc, it took us another two years and trips to the doctor, Urologists, Gynaecologists, fertility specialist, taking a set of homeopathic fertility drugs and an operation to discover I suffered from endometreosis. I was fortunate that the op worked for me and I fell pregnant with our baby girl shortly afterwards. It was just two years, but for us it felt like an eternity and the pain of not being able to conceive when everyone around you seemed to do so, so easily and even accidently, is something I will never forget. Each month, we experienced heartache, a sense of loss and then again hope, only to repeat the cycle. We were so lucky that it only took us two years though as since then I have had friends who have battled with their fertility and met other mothers who battled for as long as 12 years to conceive, many going through IVF as much as 9 times. In my daughter’s playgroup of 11 moms, 6 battled to fall pregnant. Every second person I speak to has a story to tell about their infertility and the battle to become a parent. Something we once took for granted, we now realize is actually a miracle. I do believe the hormones in our food and water as well as pollution, stress and bad diet all play a role in this.

Although I was a yoga teacher with knowledge and experience in dealing with stress, using the breath, postures and mediation to help, because I had an undiagnosed condition, it was lost on me. One of the things I have learnt from all of this, is that if you are trying to conceive and it has been longer than 6 months, don’t hesitate or listen to other people on how ‘normal’ that is, go to a fertility specialist and have both you and your partner checked out. Once the medical side is being dealt with, then start applying relaxation techniques, holistic treatments and eat healthily and exercise, as without a doubt that helps.

The mind is such a powerful thing. In my case we started trying early on for a second child as we there were signs that the endometreosis was back and we didn’t know how long it would take to fall pregnant again, or if it would even happen at all. Because there was no pressure this time, it took two months! That just shows you how stress impacts fertility. I know of 3 other cases where the same thing has happened. Instances where the first pregnancy took fertility drugs, IVF and many years to result in a successful pregnancy, whereas to fall pregnant a second time took less than 3 months!

I have now decided to focus on creating products that help improve people’s lives and have created sets of affirmations that work on the subconscious mind and help with relieving stress and creating the correct thoughts. Thoughts have been shown to have the power to change our reality and it is my hope that my fertility affirmations will help increase the likelihood of someone conceiving. My total passion is inspiring people, especially women and helping people deal with physical and emotional stress. I am busy working on another product to do with fertility coaching as I feel there is a serious need at the moment, in this area. I really hope that if you are having trouble conceiving, that in conjunction with your medical treatment, you try my affirmations and that they work for you. It is my dream to have a collection of photos of babies born as a result of using my products!
