Hey Everyone,

I was just wondering if any of you do yoga? My doctor has recommended that I try it since we are "trying too hard to conceive". So I ordered a DVD to see if it's at least something I would be into. It's called Fertility Yoga with Monica Morell, Ph.D. It's a 50-minute DVD and has good reviews.

I'm not saying it's the magic pill to conceiving. I am very skeptical with this kind of stuff, but it should help with the CF at the least, right? My entire family seems to think that I am trying too hard. At this point, I have to agree. So it's worth a shot for a few more months...but only a few.

Any suggestions, ideas, and/or thoughts?<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I just watched a show on TV last night about Yoga. Quite a few doctors stated how good it is for the mind, body, and soul.

I think it is a great idea and wish you the best of luck!!!

I know many people that enjoy yoga including CFers. I will say that much depends on who the instructor is. The only real experience I had while was in the hospital. Although I suppose there was some benefit to it, my mind wouldnt allow my body to relax because I have a mental block whenever I heard the womans voice. As she was telling me to breath, relax and let my body go.....I am thinking SHUT THE HELL UP so I can. Try it and see what happens. Good Luck!

I do Yoga. I do not think it's a substitute for cardio or weight training but it's good for gaining control over our screwed up body (and mind).

Yeah, I know that it isn't a proper substitute, but I'm looking at it more as a way to let go of "trying too hard". From a CF standpoint, I thought maybe the deep breathing would help with more effective therapy coughing. And in turn, allow more mucus to be spit up. But no, it's not as good as cardio is for CF. I still walk nearly everyday to get the cardio in.

Lauren, do you think it helped you conceive at all????

Jenny,
Some women have acupuncture for fertility - the uterus is called the golden temple in Traditional Chinese Medicine. I get acupuncture every month, which I love - keeps the qi (energy) moving.
