"I was trying for 2 years to get pregnant and was extremely depressed and stressed about my whole lack of conception. At my first IVF treatment I did not try any hypnotherapy, this treatment failed and I took it very badly. On the second treatment I decided to give it 150% and along with healthy diet, no drinking, yoga, herbs I also used the hypnotherapy CD's. I was alot more positive about the 2nd IVF treatment and felt so sure it was going to work.

I downloaded the CD onto my ipod and would make myself take the time lie down to listen to the track. Also helped me sleep so often on an afternoon I would put my ipod on and then have a sleep. spending this time made me concentrate on myself and clear my mind for the up coming treatment.  I also went to a hypnotherapist however it is very expensive whereas the CD's are one (small) cost and you can listen to them everyday.

IT WORKED!!! and I now have a gorgeous 11 week old tucked up in her bed fast asleep as we speak. She is divine. I am convinced that the postive attitude to my 2nd treatment and the relaxing exercises and time I took to clear my mind and get my mind on my side contributed to the very positive outcome" Charlotte Hobson

"When I embarked on my journey to conceive and I wasn't getting pregnant naturally I decided to investigate alternative methods that may help one, of these things being acupuncture and hypnotherepy.  After reading an article about Maggie's natal hypnotherepy CD's I decided to give them a try. I firstly tried the 'Prepare to Conceive' CD and this helped me relax and feel in tune with my sub-conscious which I thought may be blocking my natural ability to conceive.  After exploring the natural route to conceiving, and after 4 years of trying to conceive we decided to try IVF. Even though tests showed nothing physically wrong with me or my husband, we just decided that it wasn't happeneing naturally so IVF was a chance for us to have a baby.  I knew there was an 'IVF Companion' CD and just had to have that as I knew it would help me prepare subconsciously for the treatment I was about to embark on. The CD helped me prepare mentally for each stage of IVF treatment and I would and have recommended the CD's for women/couples trying to conceive or embarking on IVF treatment.  I can really say that the CD's along with healthy eating, taking DHEA and specific pre-natal vitamin supplements and acupuncture may have been the contributing factors to my first sucessful attempt at IVF which produced my beautiful blue eyed blonde baby boy - Jamie who is now 7 months old!!!" Clare Storey

"As a 46 year old trying to get pregnant for the first time, I was keen to use alternative therapies that might increase me chances of success at IVF.  Being in the right frame of mind seemed important to me, and natal hypnotherapy really helped me achieve a measure of relaxation, calm and sense of control.  I really appreciated being able to use them anytime and anyplace.  They were a huge help in relaxing me and making me feel more in control during the process. I also used acupuncture which I felt was helpful.  I became pregnant at the third attempt and have now given birth to a lovely little girl named Rebecca." Karen Logan

"The reason I chose the CD was to help me prepare for my eggs being collected and then my fertilised embryos being put back in. I believe the CD will help me to relax when this occurs. The CD has also helped to put me into a positive frame of mind and help me to look froward to the treatment whatever the out come maybe. I have had some very personal issues that I will never be completely sure if they will effect my emotional state when having my treatment but I do believe that the CD has helped me to look into these issues and work on them. I will definitely continue to use the CD now and after my embryo transfer to help me to relax and hopefully this may help with my embryos implanting."  Trudy


"I took over 7 years with lots of iui treatments and amazingly 1 attempt at IVF to have our beautiful daughter Willow Star. It was a very very distressing journey and we have shed many tears, we almost gave up so many times but thankfully all our pain and hard work was rewarded in the end!! The cds really helped me to focus on my treatment, to remain calm and positive and to be confident. I lost a lot of confidence in myelf over the years of trying to concieve, each failed month made me feel increasingly inadequate. This made me more anxious and therefore of course conception would be even harder, so the relaxation that the cds induced was very welcome!! The cds to accompany treatment helped me to relax and switch off as that was hard to do during such a stressful time! I was able to give my mind body and soul a bit of chilling and relaxing time!

Once I did get pregnant, I was in complete shock for about 4 months! this was an unexpected reactiona dn i again became anxiuos but the pregnancy and birth cds really helped again! I listened to them EVERY night, without fail, and also for a long time after Willow was born. The cds have been life savers for me! Lisa Slocombe

"Having the CD forced me to spend a bit of time every day on myself and helped me relax. It also helped me to realise some of my fears which had been subconscious and as I realised them, I could work on them. I became pregnant after 2 attempts at IVF. I have unexplained infertilty. I used the CD on the second attempt only.

The relaxation techniques have helped me after becoming pregnant as well and I still find myself going to 'the special place' I envisaged to help me relax.

 I now have a beautiful baby girl." Mel Gordon
