Many women facing fertility challenges have tried everything they know: tracking ovulation, timing intercourse, changing their diet, and taking supplements. Despite doing all the "right" things, they’re still waiting to become pregnant. Some are concerned about conditions like endometriosis or PCOS affecting their chances of conceiving. And maybe they’ve already visited fertility specialists, tried different medications, or been told IVF might be the only option.
But there’s an often-overlooked factor affecting your fertility that most likely no one has mentioned! And it’s something you can actually influence through your daily habits.
Understanding Fertility Factors
When it comes to fertility, several factors influence your body's ability to conceive:
- Getting enough sleep so that your body can regulate hormones, repair tissue and create new.
- Eating the right foods to support hormone balance, egg quality, and your body's ability to maintain a healthy pregnancy.
- And managing stress effectively to prevent hormone level disruption and support ovulation.
While you're probably familiar with how these factors impact fertility, there's another key factor that often goes unmentioned: the position of your uterus. While external stressors are often beyond your control, the position of your uterus is something you can actively work to optimize.
Key Fertility Factor = Your Uterus!
Signs Your Uterus May Be Out of Position
Your uterus sits at the center of your pelvis; is attached to your bladder, bowel and spine; and requires space to move around as you move around in your life. When she low, bent forward or backward, compressed or tipped to one side- blood flow, nerve flow, and lymphatic circulation to her become compromised, and hormonal regulation can become altered.
A tilted uterus leads to a range of symptoms you might have dismissed as normal or unrelated.
The position of your uterus can impact your menstrual cycle, causing painful periods and persistent bloating. Sexual intimacy often becomes challenging, with symptoms like pain during intercourse, difficulty with arousal and lubrication, or trouble reaching orgasm.
Other symptoms of a tilted uterus include that stubborn low belly pooch, constant pelvic pressure, nagging low back pain, and hip issues that won't resolve. You might notice bladder problems, constipation, or hemorrhoids. Many women also experience hormone imbalances, endometriosis symptoms, or fertility challenges.
These symptoms aren't your permanent reality. By improving the position of your uterus and training your core muscles to maintain that alignment, you can heal these issues completely. Circulation to your uterus is absolutely critical to your fertility. The number one thing impacting circulation to your uterus is her position. So if you optimize your uterine position, that will maximize her circulation, and increase your fertility! Your uterine position is the foundation of your reproductive health - and it's something you can easily improve!
Supporting Your Fertility Journey
The fertility journey is one where you do need to implement specific habits to improve your chances, and at the same time you also need to surrender to Divine Timing. Without overanalyzing every choice you have to make, here are some small things you can do to help support your fertility daily:
Small changes to your sleep environment - blackout curtains, a cool room, and no electronics before bed can all help you sleep better.
Specific nutrients that directly support your reproductive health. Focus on eating fiber-rich foods, healthy fats, and quality protein. Try to get 70 grams of protein per day, and stay hydrated.
Your mindset supports your fertility journey as much as your physical habits. Start paying attention when you get caught in worry or anxiety. See where you can surrender more to Divine Timing and practice gratitude. Prayer or spiritual practice can help shift your perspective to one of gratitude- which is an emotion that regularly precedes miracles.
Optimize the position of your uterus. There are simple, daily practices that can help you to optimize the position of your uterus and improve fertility. The Core Recovery Method® combines targeted abdominal massage with specialized breathing exercises to optimize your uterine position - addressing a key factor that many traditional fertility approaches overlook.
How to Optimize Your Uterine Position
When your uterus sits in her optimal position, it creates the perfect environment for conception. Each month, your body prepares for pregnancy by building a uterine lining and regulating your reproductive hormones. But if your uterus isn't positioned correctly, these processes can't function optimally. Poor circulation and a tilted uterus prevent your uterine lining from developing properly. Restricted lymph flow could create inflammation, affecting hormone balance and egg quality.
The Core Recovery Method® works with your body's natural design. Self abdominal massage improves circulation of blood and lymph to your reproductive organs. Hypopressive breathing strengthens your core muscles to maintain proper uterine position. Instead of just hoping and waiting each month, you're able to support your body in creating an optimal environment for conception.
Finding Peace in Your Fertility Journey
Your fertility journey involves more than tracking your cycle. While you can take positive steps to support your reproductive health - like optimizing your uterine position, improving your sleep, and nourishing your body - conception remains a sacred process that follows its own timeline.
Many women feel intense pressure to control every aspect of their fertility. The constant planning, tracking, and worrying creates a cycle of stress that can work against your body's natural wisdom. Remember that you're one part of this journey. Your role is to create a supportive environment for conception, and then allow the process to unfold.
The Core Recovery Method® gives you practical tools to support your fertility while helping you release the anxiety of trying to control everything. As you work with these techniques, you might find that letting go of the constant planning brings unexpected peace. Your body knows how to conceive. Your future baby has their own timing. Do your part of the equation (by optimizing uterine position) then trust the process.
