In preparation for IVF I purchased the Circle and Bloom CDs.
I have to preface this by saying that I do not meditate. I do not do yoga. I am not that "zen".
It's not that I am not capable of sitting still or that I'm not hippie enough for it all, because I have plenty of hippie bones in my body and I love me some relaxation time.
I just normally get bored. My mind wanders; I have things to think about that push all those calm, zen thoughts to the back burner.
This Circle and Bloom thing is no joke. I am a convert. I am a mediation-loving fool.
I am actually excited to get in bed every night and turn on the CD because it is SO relaxing.
So relaxing that most nights I am asleep before the end of the 15 minutes is up...but I think that in itself is good for making my body baby ready, right? :)
I have been listening to the pre-cycle sessions so far and will start CD 1 tonight. Both The Hubby and I are thoroughly enjoying them as an end to our evenings. I highly recommend!
Saturday was my last pill, today my *hopefully* last period started, tomorrow is my baseline ultrasound, and 8 more days of work before I start my "IVF vacation" as I have started referring to it. So excited!
Any cycle buddies out there?
