Get Pregnant Naturally

We're digging into medical jargon associated with pregnancy loss. Navigating the medical system during pregnancy loss can be overwhelming. That's why we wanted to break down the medical jargon so you can be your own advocate. Also, you may notice that we use the term pregnancy loss instead of miscarriage. This is because you did nothing to miscarry your pregnancy. Pregnancy loss is not your fault....

We're digging into how to select the correct fertility supplements. Figuring out which supplements to take to optimize fertility may have you feeling overwhelmed. You may think you're saving money by getting your supplements on Amazon, but it is essential to prioritize safety and quality over convenience or price. Many supplements can actually harm our fertility. They can have fillers, binders, sy...

We're digging into yoni steaming and how this can help on your TTC journey. Vaginal steams, also known as V-steams or yoni steams, can be an essential part of your fertility toolkit. This technique can help with irregular cycles and painful periods. Plus, it can be helpful for painful intercourse and increasing libido. Let's break down the steps you need to know to prepare the best vaginal steam s...

We're digging into why your dental health matters when you are TTC. The American Dental Association recommends seeing the dentist every six months or an average of twice annually. But it turns out about 25% of the population goes more than five years without visiting a dentist. A healthy oral microbiome is essential when you are trying to conceive. Periodontal disease can be linked to egg and sper...

We're digging into how to recognize and address top stressors impacting AMH/FSH. We all know that life can be stressful, especially when we are TTC. But how is the stress impacting our ability to conceive? At Fab Fertile, our thesis is "Is it actually menopause, or is it your adrenals?" I know the low AMH and/or high FSH diagnosis can lock into our subconscious. It can make us feel even more stres...

We're digging into how the elimination diet can improve pregnancy success. It's a New Year; now is the perfect time to make diet changes to improve pregnancy success. A theme we see with low AMH and/or high FSH is non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Gluten is off the charts on our client's food sensitivity tests. Plus, the body identifies cross reactors with gluten as gluten and mounts an immune respon...

We're digging into what being your own advocate when you are TTC. I know we're in an era that tells us to trust the doctors, but it's essential to be your own advocate. Remember, you know your body best. Conventional medicine is very effective in addressing acute illness or injury. But, for chronic illness or disease, the approach is ineffective and falls short. It's the pill for an ill approach....

We're digging into how to cultivate hope when you have low AMH/high FSH. As we prepare for 2024, how do we cultivate hope for the New Year? This year may have been the year you planned to have your baby. Maybe you've been through failed IVF(s), cancelled cycles, been told you're a poor responder or suffered pregnancy loss. It can be a difficult journey, and many times, we may even negatively hypno...

We're digging into donor eggs and what you need to know if you've selected this option. As you may know, I had both my kids with donor eggs. I was diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) over 25 years ago. And 25 years later, in conventional medicine, the recommendation for POI is either to rush to IVF or go straight to donor eggs. What I know for sure is there are targeted steps we c...

We're digging into how to improve pregnancy success in 2024 when you have low AMH and/or high FSH. As we come to the end of the year, I want you to have a plan for 2024 so that you can have your baby. I know firsthand how hard it can be when you receive a diagnosis of low AMH, high FSH, premature ovarian insufficiency, or diminished ovarian reserve. That's why I developed the Fab Fertile Method. I...

We're digging into iron panels and what you need to know when you are TTC. What we commonly see with low AMH/high FSH is iron deficiency. And it's more than just taking an iron supplement. Because many people don't absorb iron properly or have heavy periods and gut issues that negatively impact iron levels. Bottom line if you have amenorrhea, anovulation (the lack of ovulation), poor egg health, o...

We are living in a toxic soup filled with chemicals. When we're TTC, switching to non-toxic products is essential. We don't recommend throwing everything out because that can cause more stress. As each product expires, you can replace it with a non-toxic option. Except for your feminine hygiene and fragrances  - swap those out immediately - hint: those pumpkin spice candles release harmful PAHs (p...

We're digging into stool testing and what it means for fertility and low AMH/high FSH. When you are dealing with low AMH and or high FSH, the last place your REI will look is the health of your gut. The health of your gut is directly tied to the health of your ovaries. And if you have an infection, no amount of clean eating will matter. The infection needs to be addressed. It may be tempting to us...

In this episode, we dig into navigating the holiday season with low AMH/high FSH. The fertility journey can be all-encompassing, and the holiday season can be challenging. Visiting friends and family and seeing coworkers who ask that intrusive and annoying question, "Do you have kids yet?" The pressure of the season may have you feeling overwhelmed or burnt out. So many of us have been on the TTC...

We're digging into how to know if IVF is the next step if you have low AMH/high FSH. I know you've been told that IVF is the only way forward when you have low AMH and/or high FSH. You may have been told that time is of the essence and you need to rush to IVF. We are not anti-IVF. We are pro-health. You can't skip working on health. I know you've already done a lot of work on your health. Most peo...

We're digging into recovering from chronic illness while TTC. The conventional medicine approach for dealing with chronic illness and autoimmune disease is to prescribe medication. This approach has us chasing symptoms and does not address the underlying cause. One of the themes we see with low AMH and high FSH is autoimmunity. One autoimmune disease will predispose you to another autoimmune disea...

We're digging into common mistakes we make with diet for low AMH/high FSH. It can be confusing to know where to start to improve your diet when you have low AMH and/or high FSH. I know you've probably asked your OB/GYN or REI about the importance of diet, and they may have told you that diet might help, but it's not an essential part of the equation. This may have you second-guessing what approach...

We're digging into what everyone gets wrong about fertility smoothies. Eating the right foods when you are trying to conceive can be confusing. There is so much contradictory advice. At Fab Fertile, we believe in a personalized approach to nutrition. We have our clients start the elimination diet (it's the gold standard to figure out if you have a food sensitivity), and then we tweak the diet furt...

We're digging into why addressing adrenal insufficiency matters when TTC. I can't tell you how many people I speak with that have low AMH/high FSH that are: - Working more than 50 hours per week and dealing with a toxic workplace and/or demanding boss - Holding down a full-time job and in graduate school - Have experienced a traumatic event such as pregnancy loss or death in the family - Dealing w...

In this episode, we're digging into how to minimize toxin exposure while TTC. We are exposed to over 85,000 chemicals in our environment. Environmental working group scientists have identified dozens of studies published in the past five years that report the presence of PFAS, or perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, in cord blood. "The presence of these chemicals is also a threat to preg...

And it is needed for healthy egg and sperm quality. The nutrient helps with the following: Improve hormone production Assist with cervical mucous production Promote normal ovulation Aid in increasing circulation to the repro...

We're digging into why fertility cleanses/detoxes can harm fertility and what to do instead if you have low AMH/high FSH. Preparing your body for conception can be overwhelming and confusing. All these generalized recommendations may leave us wondering what to do next. We may think fertility cleanses or detoxes are a good first step. But what if the detox or cleanse caused unwanted side effects th...

We're digging into how to connect with your spirit baby. Many times before couples work with us, they have experienced cancelled IVF cycles due to low follicle count, failed IVFs due to egg or embryo quality, or have been labelled a poor responder. I know firsthand how difficult it is to hear that you have a very small chance of conceiving naturally or that donor eggs are your only option. This in...
