Y.L., New York City
I attended Julia’s workshop on December 5th. By the end of January, I was pregnant. We got pregnant naturally, something that my husband and I had dismissed as a possibility long ago.
Before attending the workshop, I was extremely depressed. My friends and family kept telling me that I needed to relax. But HOW!!! I was scared that I was running out of time. We had been trying for four years. I had been through three different infertility doctors and was starting with my fourth doctor. I had been to see two different infertility psychologists and a hypnotist. It seemed like no one really cared and that I was just another “patient”. My depression became worse and worse with each passing day. But everything changed the day I went to Julia’s workshop.
We found, in Julia, someone who was really concerned and wanted to do everything possible to help. Her heart is pure, her love is genuine and her positive attitude radiates from her. We left the workshop with a new sense of being. We felt happy and positive about our chances to conceive. Using her “fertile tools”, I didn’t have time to be depressed. Of course I still had some doubts and I was still afraid. But my attitude was much more positive.
I remember telling my husband, when I found out I was pregnant, his reaction was “What are you talking about !?” He couldn’t believe it. After trying for so long (IVF, IUI) without success, we could not believe that it happened like this. Julia’s workshop was the turning point and I hope that it can do the same for all of you. (By the way there were eleven women (and six men) in that workshop and eight of them are very pregnant now.)
Dalia – Twins Conceived the Old Fashioned Way after 2 Failed IVF’s & 4 Failed IUI’s
4 Failed IUI”s, 2 Failed IVF cycles
“I had my first daughter 5 years ago and had no trouble at all conceiving. However, when my husband and I tried to have a second child we found ourselves catapulted into the incredibly painful world of infertility. After 6 months of trying, I was worried and ran to the medical world looking for fast results and was willing to try any drugs offered me. I was told that I had high FSH despite being relatively young and that was why I was experiencing secondary infertility. The RE, quite matter-of-factly told me that I would likely go through menopause at around 40 and had about a 2% chance of conceiving naturally. I was incredibly devastated and after days of crying, I dove into IUI—I went on do this 4 times, without any conceptions. After the failed IUIs we moved on to IVF. We did 2 IVF cycles both of which failed and neither of which produced even a single fertilized egg!
My desperation grew, then hope & Woodstock
My devastation and desperation grew and I began to search incessantly on the internet for any solution to high FSH, despite the fact that the RE had told me explicitly that there was no way to lower one’s FSH. I then stumbled on a blog post in a discussion about FSH that mentioned Julia’s book Inconceivable.
I got the book as fast as I could it and read it voraciously. Suddenly, I felt like there might be something I could do to change things and to heal. I immediately looked up Julia online and decided to attend her workshop in Woodstock. It was such an emotional experience for me—I remember when we were doing imagery and singing, my tears were just endless and I felt deeply drawn to her work. This was the first place I had been during these years in which it was ok to cry and to feel.
3rd IVF ended with miscarriage at 6 weeks
After 2 failed IVF’s, the RE almost canceled my third IVF cycle mid-way since I seemed “too emotional”—apparently it’s not ok to cry when receiving bad news in her world. I had already started my third IVF cycle at the time and figured I would go through it while doing Julia’s work. I bought a juicer, Julia’s cds, and supplements, and began. However a few weeks later my third IVF cycle ended with a miscarriage at 6 weeks. We had only had one fertilized egg so it felt to me like we were back to square one. To make matters worse the RE handed me a prescription for Valium, and told me there was nothing left they could do for me and shooed us out of their office as quickly as they could. She said we needed to move forward to adoption, donor eggs, and a clinic for really severe cases. I experienced deep mourning after that loss and felt completely hopeless. In that moment I emailed Julia and I she replied that she believed I could turn things around. I wasn’t sure about that, but I was willing to follow her and try.
I joined the Visionary Moms and began working more deeply
I joined the Visionary Moms Circle and began working much more deeply. I learned so much about myself and had so many epiphanies with the OVUM work. Working with Julia helped me in moments in which I absolutely had lost all hope of conceiving and participating in the forum and phone circles removed my deep feelings of isolation and gave me a healthy way of walking towards my babies”
