Are you thinking about getting pregnant? Or maybe you’ve been trying and still haven’t gotten your positive test yet?

Girl, I feel you.

The fertility journey is rough but you don’t have to do it alone!

I help women boost their fertility and get that big fat positive on their pregnancy test.

Let’s talk about tracking your cycle.

There are literally thousands of trackers out there that you can input all the intimate details of your cycle and your sex life into. These apps then take your information and spit out…the same information for everyone.

We don’t accept one size fits all in clothing, so why do we accept it when we’re trying to get pregnant?

The apps and trackers should not be the end all be all for your fertility journey. In fact, I think they can work against you.

So what do you do if you don’t use an app? I recommend Ovulation Prediction Kits (basically a stick you pee on like a pregnancy test), that way you know when YOUR BODY is ovulating. Not when the average woman ovulates.

Once you start using an OPK, you learn more about your body and your timing. You may even learn that you’re not ovulating each month, which requires a different plan than if you were.

Your fertility journey can be trying. You can feel like no one hears you or understands your pain. Don’t accept a one size fits all response for your uniqueness. Learn your body. Learn your cycle. Learn about yourself.

“Wait - she’s pregnant? I didn’t even know they were trying! I thought I would be a Mom before her...”
💔
After saying those words I would stay in bed for days.
I felt ashamed of my body.
I felt guilty for not supporting my friends.
I felt an overwhelming sadness because I was not yet pregnant.
I felt like I failed as a woman.
My husband didn’t know what to do with me, so he just held me as I sobbed.
I know you feel this too. This is a story I hear all too often from women.
There is a better way.
❤️
There wasn’t a single moment that changed me but a combination of moments.
I realized I had the power to choose my feelings. So I did.
I choose to be happy for my friends.
I choose to love my body for everything that it can and will do.
I choose a healthier life.
There is still a part of me that feels the sting when I see a pregnancy announcement but it no longer is followed by debilitating sadness.
❤️
Tell me, who are you choosing to be?

Let’s jump into bed and talk some more about sleep and fertility. If you watched my marathon story this morning, you’ll know that I did not sleep well at all last night. In my story I talked a lot about Leptin and what happens when Leptin levels are off. But did you know that there are a bunch of other hormones that get thrown off by lack of sleep AND impact your fertility? Today I’m going to talk about one of those important hormones: Cortisol.
Cortisol is your body’s natural alarm clock…it wakes you up in the morning and when healthy levels exist, remains elevated for a short period of time. If you do not get enough sleep though, the next day your body will keep your Cortisol levels elevated all day long to get you through the day. If your Cortisol levels stay elevated for too long, your body goes into adrenal fatigue. It also has been show to reduce sex drive, stop you from ovulating, make your periods irregular, increase anxiety, and cause depression.
So when you hear me say make sure you’re getting enough sleep on your conception journey, now you know why! Sleep has been seen as a distraction in our fast paced, high stress society but as we study sleep more and more, we’re finding out how important it really is. I’ve found that I need somewhere between 7.5-8.5 hours to feel refreshed the next day. How much sleep do you need? Tell me below!

Have you heard of the fertility cliff? There are reminders all over the world for women that their biological clock is ticking. We’re told that if you don’t have a baby by the time you’re 35, then it’s practically guaranteed you’ll need medical help.
👎
Luckily new research is coming out that contradicts that long held belief. Can I get a hallelujah?!
🙌
Studies have found that women ages 27-29 have an 80% chance of conceiving within one year and women 35-39 have a 77% chance of conceiving within one year. Only a 3% drop! I don’t know about you, but I’m so grateful that new research shows that debunks the old mom myth.

Morale of the story? You can block out all of society’s messages and take time to focus on you and your relationship with your SO. Drop me a 👶 below if you’re on your #ttc journey!
