FAQs

Welcome to our Frequently Asked Questions Page.  Should you have further questions, please feel free to contact us.

What types of infertility is this designed for?

Our program was designed to help reduce the anxiety and stress associated with infertility, therefore, anyone experiencing infertility can use this program to help better manage the process of getting pregnant.

I have not been diagnosed with infertility but I would like to keep my changes of pregnancy as high as possible. Should I still use the program?

Yes, especially if you have been experiencing growing anxiety as it relates to your pregnancy status. This program should help you reduce the levels of anxiety associated with getting pregnant, and studies have shown a direct link between stress and infertility.

Why are there 28 audio files?

In our product design and research, we discovered that the best possible way to connect mind-body healing with our fertility cycles would be to track our product with the daily changes of our fertility cycle. Every day our hormones are changing as we move from the follicular phase, to egg maturation and ovulation to the luteual phase. Therefore, since our program is designed to best elicit the mind-body connection, we thought it best to tailor each individual day to the specific-happenings in your reproductive cycle. Also, it’s OK if you aren’t exactly on a 28 day reproductive cycle. If you know when you are ovulating, try to time the Day 14 – 16 to when you ovulate, and simply skip or repeat days preceding and following depending on your typical reproductive cycle.

How can I augment the program?

We have found that the program can be enhanced by performing other relaxation-inducing actions, such as listening to soothing music, yoga, acupuncture – and especially journaling. Picking yourself up a nice looking journal, while letting the words flow about anything that crops to mind can be incredibly therapeutic. Studies have shown that by writing down events that have caused pain can possibly be more therapeutic than talking it through with a therapist. Throughout the program, we pose certain questions towards the end of each session that hopefully will illicit certain thoughts and emotions that can be written about on your own. It’s not necessary, but it certainly can’t hurt.

Should I listen more than once per day to get double or triple the effects?

There is certainly no harm in listening more than once, but we would suggest that you spend that time – if you find it useful – to do yoga, mindful walking, breathing exercises, meditation, listening to soothing music, and journaling to help round out the program. If you find it best to listen to each session twice per day for you, then it certainly wouldn’t hurt.

I have been listening to the program for a few days, but I don’t feel any different. Am I doing something wrong?

This program is not necessarily designed for you to have a “breakthrough” change in your outlook or in your physical makeup. You may not feel any different right away. Over time, you might find yourself being able to accept stressful moments a bit easier, and you may also have a less negative outlook on your ability to get pregnant. You might also feel effects from being in the state of complete relaxation as new way to manage any kind of stress or difficult situation. Since the relaxation techniques are based on meditation practices and self-hypnosis, we would hope that you could employ the techniques of self-relaxation on your own to achieve this relaxed state whenever you wish. It can be very helpful for those who have problems falling asleep and staying asleep.

Why do you recommend “journaling” and how do I do it the correct way?

Studies have shown that free-writing exercises through journaling can be incredibly therapeutic – even better than traditional couch-based therapy in terms of excising especially painful events in your past. It doesn’t need to be on a daily basis; it should be done when the mood strikes for how long you wish. It could be something special that happened that day, or how you felt when something stirred negative emotions in you. Anything that you feel will help you in your self-discovery process. It should be only for your eyes – unless you want to share with others.

What does relaxation have to do with getting pregnant?

Since stress negatively impacts our fertility, reducing stress through relaxation should positively impact your fertility.  Repeated relaxation – something you can do everyday by using Circle + Bloom- will help to reduce stress each and every day.

I think this might be helpful to a friend of mine. Can I share this product with her?

Absolutely. We have this email form that you can use, or simply send that person the link to our website. However, please note that it would be unlawful to send the actual audio files to her unless that person has also purchased a license from us directly.

Do I pay the fee on a monthly basis, or can I use the product indefinitely?

Our fee is a one-time fee for indefinite use of the product by you.

I have PCOS and having troubles getting pregnant. Will this help me?

Yes.  The mind/body aspect of our program focuses on the correct balancing of the reproductive hormones.  And don’t worry if you don’t have the perfect timing of your cycle figured out when using the program – it doesn’t need to perfectly aligned to reap the full benefits.  Also, the stress component will also be minimized so if you are feeling increased anxiety the relaxation component will most certainly help you.

I am in the middle of advanced fertility treatments. Should I also use this product?

Yes. We have many users who are doing advanced IUI and IVF and have found that using Circle + Bloom has fundamentally improved their levels of stress and so therefore their chances of a successful outcome.  One of our customers used Circle + Bloom for her second IVF treatment (her first was unsuccessful) and she reported a renewed sense of confidence and optimism – to the point that later in the cycle she felt that her body “started to talk to her.” She attributes using Circle & Bloom to her successful outcome.  So, yes, we do advise and support using Circle + Bloom through advanced fertility treatments.

I have been doing acupuncture. Should I continue with acupuncture at the same time that I have doing Circle & Bloom?

Sure.  There would be nothing that would fundamentally run in conflict with doing acupuncture – especially if you have found that acupuncture has been helping you.

Should I discontinue using the product if I get pregnant?

Well that is completely up to you.  Some of our users are letting us know they are using the relaxation part of our program to continue to reap the benefits of relaxation during their first trimester.  If enough of our customers request it, we may be developing a pregnancy relaxation program in the near future.  Let us know if that would be of interest to you.

I am over 40 years old and trying to get pregnant. Should I use this program?

Absolutely.  This program has nothing to do with age but everthing to do with implementing relaxation to help improve fertility.
