Hi Hethir

I am on my third day of doing self fertility massage. My menstrual cycle ended 7 days ago, but since the massage, I seem to be spotting a little bit. I'm assuming that is possibly stale blood that the body needed to be released and it was helped along by the massage? I see it as a positive sign.

On the DVD you mention that the massage should be done for 4 to 6 weeks, but not during menstruation - I'm probably stating the obvious here, but that would mean there would be a break in the middle of the 4 to 6 weeks right?

Also, since there isn't enough oil for the massage on my stomach after the castor oil pack, I've added some almond oil, just to make the massage go more smoothly, is that OK?

Any type of oil will work (please avoid mineral oil). The Self Fertility Massage should be done for at least 4-6 weeks for the best results, stopping during your period. It can be done longer than that though. Not sure about the spotting. Spotting can be so many things. If it was old blood it would be dark in color. Fresh blood is red or pink. Hope that helps.
