infertility and yoga?

Good evening ladies.

Over the past year I have been getting more and more into yoga. I am really good about practicing each night for weeks in a row, then something happens and I dont practice for the next few and so on. Anyway, just wondering, if you do practice, do you have any positions you swear by (if you have gotten that ellusive BFP) or anything that you have come across that others swear by?

I have found that it has helped to lower my anxiety levels, I have been really interested in how it can help with fertility. There are a lot of websites, youtube videos, etc. out there what have you found to be the best for you?

Perhaps also comment on positions that help to relieve your 2ww anxiety!

    This website has some info. I am attaching a chart. I do this sequence. It hasn't helped bc I am not pregnant and my cycles are still anovulatory, BUT it helps with AF cramps, breathing, flexibility, and lowers my stress :) It says it helps increase blood flow to your stomach/uterus... maybe that is why it helps with cramps. :) I will continue this when I start ivf unless my Dr says I shouldn't do any poses on the chart. My RE believes yoga really helps ivf (and fretting general) success if done right, so that is encouraging :)

    RE DX for me: Anovulatory cycles/Mild PCOS  RE DX for DW: Endometrioma on left Ovary.
    Reciprocal Ivf Feb 2016. DW eggs and I am carrying. EDD: 10/27/16
