Fertility Massage

I did my first self fertility massage with a castor oil pack! I roped DH into watching the massage video with me and while he felt it was a bit silly, he's been encouraging and helpful.

Castor oil pack: I covered a piece of flannel with castor oil and placed it on my lower abdomen. I then put on a layer of plastic, added a hot herb pack, and topped everything with a towel. It was way hotter than I was expecting it to be! I was supposed to lie there with all of that on me for 30-60 minutes. I think I made it to 20. 

Then came the massage. I used a product called "Radiant Womb" oil and I have no idea the quality of oils in it but it smelled nice. I've ordered a bunch of essential oils from Young Living but the radiant womb oil will do for now. 

I'm supposed to do the castor oil pack and massage a minimum of 4 times a week for 4-6 weeks. The massage itself is a bit uncomfortable. My stomach (as in the actual stomach organ) is tender but I've read that that should ease up the more I do this. We'll see!
