Jessica’s Success Story

Name: Jessica
Age: 35 years old
Number of years trying to get pregnant?: 2.5 years

What was your fertility journey prior to finding Natural-Fertility-Info.com and the NaturalFertilityShop.com?:

2016: At the age of 32, I started trying to get pregnant.
I found myself pregnant almost immediately. Unfortunately, I had an ectopic pregnancy which resulted in very scary emergency surgery at 9 weeks gestation. I opted for conservative intervention, which meant that I kept my damaged fallopian tube, but lost the baby. I was devastated.

2017: Four months after the ectopic surgery we started trying to conceive again, but we were heartbroken every month. Before the ectopic pregnancy I had fairly regular cycles, however after the ectopic it was about
4 months before the 35-62 day cycles started. I went to a fertility specialist after 1 year of trying with no luck. During that 1 year, I had been tracking my ovulation at home using LH strips and it appeared that I wasn’t ovulating, so I was concerned that my hormones were not back to normal since the ectopic pregnancy. When I went to the physician I had them check me every couple days to see if I was ovulating or if there was at least a dominant follicle in one of my ovaries. It appeared that I was not ovulating. Next I had the physician perform an hysterosalpingogram (HSG) which showed that my damaged fallopian tube from the previous pregnancy was blocked, but my other fallopian tube was in tact. The physician said there was no reason why I shouldn’t be able to get pregnant naturally via the undamaged tube. So we kept trying for another 6 months, at which point the physician suggested I take clomid which is a drug used to stimulate ovulation and can force ovulation making the ovaries release an egg (or multiple eggs). Some of the research suggests that clomid can reduce cervical mucous increasing the risk of ectopic pregnancy. I felt the physician was just following a stepwise plan that he used with everyone regardless of the patient’s particular situation (basically I felt my potential risk of ectopic wasn’t being taken into account, so I wasn’t very comfortable with the only option I was presented with. As a traditional medical and PhD student, I started diving into research articles looking for anything that could help fix my problem rather than taking more medications that may increase the risk of another problem and potentially lead me to surgery again.

January 2018: I decided to order some supplements from Natural Fertility that had shown to be beneficial in increasing ovulation or resetting hormones. I told myself and my husband that I would give the herbs 6 months to work their magic before moving to more drastic interventions or synthetic drug therapies.

What information and products made the difference for you?:

In January of 2018: Based on my own literature review and information from the natural fertility website, I ordered Fertilica Vitex, ThyroFem, Fertilica Maca Capsules – Organic 6:1 Concentrate, and Fertilica Tribulus from naturalfertilityshop.com. I found their website really helpful in pointing out which herbs would benefit me, but I also reached out and talked to a certified herbalist from Natural Fertility for advice and appropriate dosages. Input from the Natural Fertility Shop staff gave me confidence and the personal care that I so desperately needed.

I also read the testimonials on the website, which truly gave me hope and this is the reason why I feel compelled to share my experience.

What changes and benefits did you experience from taking the products?:

After taking Vitex for approximately 1 cycle, I stopped taking the supplements because I had read in an article that it may interfere with the natural pulsatile mechanism of the pituitary gland and I was hoping that my period would show up before day 42 – I had mild cramping on and off during this time, but no menses and several pregnancy tests which were all negative.

I noticed the following changes: I had intense pain at one point on the same side that I had the ectopic; it lasted for about 2 hours and never came back, I had changes in cervical mucous which made me think several times that I might be in my fertile window, my cycle actually increased in length and I also had some nausea that came and went. I reached out to Natural Fertility’s certified herbalist for clarification and they eased my worries. With their experience they were able to tell me that I could take Vitex all cycle long and that the herb would not cause any long-term problems for the pituitary gland and that I could see if my period returned on its own within a week, and either way, I could start taking Vitex again. I did get my period around day 60 (after a week off of Vitex) and then started taking Vitex again. For the next cycle I took Vitex, Thyrofem, Maca, and Tribulus as suggested. All the while I was still tracking my ovulation with LH strips and during this second cycle since starting Vitex it appeared that I ovulated.

April 2018: 3 months after I started taking the herbs and only 2 cycles later, I had a positive pregnancy test! I 100% believe that it was the supplements helped me get pregnant after nothing else worked for years, especially after noticing the changes in cervical mucous and LH surge that started only after I took the herbs.

What is some advice you would give others going through their fertility journey?:

My advice to others still going through their fertility journey is to learn as much as you can about your cycle, to track your ovulation, look at thyroid function, and try natural therapies before moving onto alternate treatments that may have unintended adverse effects. Also know that there is hope. Everyone’s situation is different and at times I was so depressed and thought I would never have my baby, but keep trying! It can happen.

How are you and your baby doing now? How old is your baby now?:

Now the exciting part of the story! Since my previous pregnancy was an ectopic, the positive pregnancy test brought fear with the excitement. I had an early ultrasound that confirmed a baby was in the uterus this time. YAY!!! And I had a natural delivery of my healthy baby girl in December 2018!!!! My husband and I are overjoyed and so grateful to have our little girl! Our little girl is thriving and so much fun, and we don’t take her presence for granted.

Lastly, I’m so sure that after years of trying with no results and then taking the herbs for only 2 menstrual cycles and then finding out I was pregnant, that the herbs helped me reset/stabilize my hormones so that I could finally get pregnant naturally. I hope that my story gives you hope to keep trying!

Womb Care Therapeutic Castor oil kit is a powerful tool that includes a special blend of organic castor oil and organic therapeutic essential oils designed to enhance circulation, promote detoxification and support healing wherever it is applied.

The Womb Care Castor oil Kit is a natural and effective solution for promoting reproductive health and easing pelvic discomfort in women.

Acupressure is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body using fingers, palms, or specialized tools, instead of using needles as in acupuncture. 

The goal of acupressure is to stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms, restore balance to the body's energy, or Qi, and promote overall health and wellbeing.

Self-Acupressure is something you can do for yourself if you understand how to locate the points on your own body. In DCM I teach you which points to use, how to find them on your own body and stimulate them for each stage of your fertility cycle. 

This allows you to have an effective self-care tool that you can apply in the comfort of your own home, at a frequency that allows you to get the most benefit from your efforts.

Like acupressure, reflexology is another method that involves the application of pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears. The goal of reflexology is to stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms, promote relaxation, and restore balance to the body's systems.

According to reflexology theory, specific points on the feet, hands, and ears correspond to different organs and systems in the body. By applying pressure to these points, reflexology aims to improve circulation, reduce tension and stress, and promote overall health and wellbeing.

In DCM I teach you how to incorporate both self-acupressure and reflexology into a daily routine to support reproductive health during each of the phases by working on the uterus, fallopian tubes, endocrine, thyroid and liver points.

🥚 In the past, a common belief was that the only factor which determines ovarian and egg health was age. 

Based on new studies, we now know that this may not be true. 🤯

There are many factors that can have an impact on the health of the ovaries and eggs including environmental factors, hormones in the diet, and stress, just to name a few.

In addition, having healthy fertility is based on many additional aspects to consider, including:
➡️ Proper circulation
➡️ A healthy fertility cycle
➡️ Balanced hormones
➡️ Healthy eggs

Egg health is one of the cornerstones of healthy fertility. 

The health of your eggs (ova) can affect whether or not fertilization and implantation will occur as well as the viability of a pregnancy.

During the cycle of an egg’s journey towards ovulation, there is a window of opportunity, a period of time, when certain factors can affect the health of the eggs that are preparing for ovulation. ⏳

This journey takes about 90 days. 

The steps you take today will impact the health of your eggs 3 months from now. 

That is why I talk so much about taking a MINIMUM of 90 days to prepare for pregnancy or IVF/IUI. 

🙂 The good news is that there are steps you can take to help support the health of your eggs. There is too much info to put into this tiny caption but….

Type EGG if you would like me to send you my Egg Health Checklist that takes you through all of the steps to take.👇👇

👋🏽 Unlocking the Power of Reflexology for the Endocrine System 🌟

Step into the world of healing self-care as we dive deep into reflexology and its incredible impact on the endocrine system! 👋🏽✨

1️⃣ Balance: Discover the key reflex points on your hands that correspond to the thyroid, pituitary, and liver. By stimulating these points through reflexology, we can support these vital systems for optimal hormonal health.

2️⃣ Thyroid Harmony: By focusing on the thyroid reflexes, we aim to regulate the thyroid gland's function. Balancing thyroid activity can enhance hormone production and improve overall fertility health.

3️⃣ Pituitary Vitality: The pituitary gland, known as the master gland, plays a crucial role in regulating reproductive hormones. Reflexology can help stimulate the pituitary reflexes, promoting hormonal balance and supporting fertility.

4️⃣ Liver Rejuvenation: The liver is responsible for detoxification and hormone metabolism. Through reflexology, we can enhance liver function, aiding in the removal of toxins and promoting hormonal balance for improved fertility.

5️⃣ Holistic Fertility Support: By supporting the thyroid, pituitary, and liver through reflexology, we create an optimal environment for fertility. Balanced hormone levels, improved detoxification, and enhanced hormonal regulation contribute to overall reproductive well-being.

🌟 Embrace the transformative power of reflexology and unlock the secrets to supporting your endocrine health for improved fertility.
