Yes. Targeted exercise, such as the Aviva Method, supports fertility by increasing blood flow to the pelvic region and nourishing the reproductive organs with oxygen and nutrients. This helps thicken the uterine lining, supports ovarian function, and may help regulate hormones necessary for conception.

“Internal” movements—like the Aviva Method—are often most effective because they focus on the pelvic floor and deep abdominal muscles. By stimulating the “Working Zone” (between the navel and the pelvic bone), these exercises act as a natural pump, directing hormone-rich blood to the reproductive system.

Specific fertility exercises may help “wake up” the reproductive system and promote a regular shedding of the uterine lining. Many women notice more regular cycles and reduced symptoms, such as cramping or spotting, after starting a consistent practice of the Aviva Method.

While walking, running, cycling, and swimming are excellent for general health and stress reduction, they don’t specifically target the deep pelvic tissues or stimulate the reproductive glands with the intensity required to shift hormonal patterns. It is best used as a complement to the Aviva Method on those days when you do not practice the fertility exercises.

Avoid excessive high-intensity training, extreme endurance exercise, or workouts that cause significant stress to your body. These can disrupt hormonal balance and ovulation. Gentle to moderate exercise is ideal when TTC.

For optimal results, practice 2–3 times per week consistently. Each session includes warm-up, targeted exercises, and relaxation—approximately 55 minutes total.

Many women notice improvements in cycle regularity, reduced stress, and better body awareness within 1–3 months. Fertility outcomes vary individually, as every woman’s body and journey are unique.

You can practice if your period is in its lighter, declining phase (typically around day 3 or 4). However, avoid full intensity: gently tilt your pelvis but keep contractions soft, and skip the bouncing movements.
If you are within three months after a miscarriage and your goal is to support uterine cleansing, you can perform the exercises more intensely, even during your period. In case of miscarriage, always consult your doctor.
