Every Day is an Opportunity to Optimize your Fertility
Congratulations on ordering your bundle!
This bundle will provide you with everything you need to gently optimize your fertility so that you can prepare your body to carry your baby to term.
It's Go Time...
-
If you have less than 3 months to prepare, omit Month 1 Tea schedule, add 1 cup of Detox Tea per day to Month's 2 & 3 schedule, drinking just 2 cups of Fertile Mama and B*tch's Brew. Increase to 3 baths each week.
-
If you have longer than 3 months to prepare, follow month 2 for as long as needed. Month 3 is your IUI/ IVF cycle month.
It's Tea Time...
-
Add 1 Tbsp. herbal blend to a tea infuser or French press.
-
Pour approx. 1 cup boiling water over the herbs and infuse for 5-15 minutes. Herbs may steep longer than 15 minutes for a stronger infusion.
-
Remove infuser or strain herbs and enjoy your tea warm, 2-4 cups per day - every day. You may choose to increase the amount in the days before your period if it tends to be painful.
-
You may add a bit of honey or sweetener as desired.
-
STOP drinking all tea 5 days before you start stimulation medication and then resume post-retrieval or post-transfer with the recommended tea... Unless you've already had 2 or more failed IVF/IUI cycles and have produced few or poor embryos - if that is the case, don’t have to stop teas at all and you can drink herbs through the stimulation medication only if you are taking FSH meds, not antagonist meds. In this case, wait 4 hours between administration of the drugs and drinking the tea.
*You should know which ones you are on, or ask your doctor. Some examples of antagonist meds are Lupron and Synaril.
Soak Away The Stress....
Luxuriate in these detoxifying and relaxing herbal & seaweed salt baths. A 20-minute soak in this magnesium-rich bath will relax your muscles and draw impurities from your cells.
-
For each bath, add about 1/4 of the soak to the included sachet bag. Add a few drops of included oil to the sachet and tie closed.
-
Toss the sachet into the bath.
-
Soak for at least 15 minutes, ideally while listening to a meditation or relaxing music.
-
Soak twice a week with the recommended soak and if you have any left post-transfer or post-IUI, you are safe to enjoy a bath up until a positive pregnancy test.
*** Ear Seeds, Moxa, Womb Massage, and the Bath Soaks are all okay to continue to work with while you are taking stimulation medication in preparation for retrieval.
Fertility Womb Massage
At least 2x per week using Womb Healing oil and castor oil. Perform on last day of each menstrual flow/period, but not while heavily bleeding. Do NOT perform womb massage or use castor oil packs post-IVF transfer or post-IUI. You CAN however perform post-retrieval leading up to transfer.
Yes, that's no problem and would actually be very supportive.
I recommend watching the videos below a few times to get the hang of it, but it doesn't have to be exact. It's more important to breath and feel than follow me exactly.
-
Aim for at least 15 minutes, so that you can really bring your attention inward.
-
Move slowly, breathe, and bring awareness to both your hands as well as internal sensation.
-
You might find areas that are more tender than others -- focus on these, but try not to induce pain. Sensation and tenderness is okay, but don't hurt yourself!

How to Work with Moxa for Fertility
How do I light my Moxa pole?
You can use a candle to light your moxa pole. It might take a while to catch. Light your moxa pole like incense, so that it's lit, but not on fire. If it lights, like fire, then blow it out, and occasionally blow off the ash to reveal the embers.
How do I use the moxa?
Once lit, hold the lit end of the moxa pole about 1 inch from your skin. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR SKIN WITH THE MOXA! Make slow circles with the pole over each point, until it gets too hot, and then move onto the next point, until you've gone over each point about 5 times, aiming for 15 minutes total.
If you have endo or fibroids, use pecking motions on abdominal points, like a woodpecker. Stay on abdomen for 15 minutes, if possible.
How Often Can I use Moxa?
Aim for 10 minutes each day or at least 3 times per week.
1-2 days post IVF transfer or IUI procedure, perform moxa for 20-30 minutes total, especially focusing on SP3, K3
If you ve experienced recurrent miscarriage, focus on bottoms of feet, lower back, low abdomen and top of head, making slow circles. You'll also
want to work all the way up along both sides of the spine, working your way up from the low back up to shoulder blades.
If you have or have ever had high blood pressure, only moxa the points that are below the waist.
Ear Seeds
Ear seeds can be used on one or both ears.
They can be used at any time in preparation and during the IVF/IUI process. Just replace them when they fall off.
You may need a friend or partner to locate the spots for you -
it's okay if the location isn't perfect.
EVERYONE'S EARS ARE DIFFERENT, SO JUST DO YOUR BEST!
Once the ear seeds are in place, rub and squeeze them whenever you remember.
They will stay on your ears for about a week, depending on how hot it is and how much you sweat. Replace them when they fall off.
EAR SEEDS MAY BE USED ON BOTH PARTNERS.
Have you heard of the pineapple implantation protocol?
Beginning the day after retrieval (for IUI, begin at ovulation):
Cut a pineapple core into 5pieces.
Do not eat the whole pineapple, as it contains too much sugar. Just use the core.
Eat one of the five pieces each day, until all 5 pieces are gone.
The Bromelain supports implantation.
