Elizabeth’s Success Story

There is nothing quite as painful as a pregnancy loss. Most women don’t expect their menstrual cycles, emotions, and life to become quite so chaotic after a miscarriage, but this is what happened to Elizabeth. Despite all that she was going through, she decided to figure out a solution and get her life back on track, so she could go on to have a healthy pregnancy. This is her story…

Elizabeth V.'s Fertility Success Story“I felt more at ease for actually doing something that could help my fertility.”

Name: Elizabeth

Age: 21

Number of years trying to get pregnant? 9 months

“Hope After Loss”

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

I got married in February of ’13, got pregnant in April, and lost the baby at the end of June at 12 weeks. My husband and I were told that we’d likely get pregnant again soon after, but nothing happened.

My periods became slightly irregular, always popping up at exactly the wrong moment. I was worried and wanted to know what was wrong with us, why we weren’t getting pregnant again. A lot of prayers were said by a lot of people.

What information and products made the difference for you?

My mother sent me the link to the NFS, and I began investigating potential causes for my lack of conception. I believe I’ve had a hormonal imbalance due to stress, poor diet, and a food allergy, which over the past several months I’ve slowly been correcting. I bought vitex, maca, and evening primrose oil, as well as red clover tea to prepare my body for pregnancy.

Which products did you take and for how long?

I took the vitex first, and this helped to regulate my periods, made me breathe a little easier. I took this for two months, but when nothing more concrete happened, I’m afraid I gave up and put it away for a time. Recently I purchased the EPO, maca, and tea and have been more faithful with their application. I also bought a whole foods prenatal and started taking cod liver oil.

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

I felt more at ease for actually doing something that could help my fertility. I wasn’t fretting so much over whether I was going to get pregnant this month or not, or worrying that I was a ticking clock that would run out before I had a chance to start a family with my husband. I began doing some fertility yoga, as well as massage, and this helped with cramps and mood swings. Today, three days past when I expected to get my period, I took a pregnancy test (the latest in a long line, I was starting to have a phobia for negative answers) and got two lines! Pregnant at last!

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

I would say keep praying! God is the Author of life, and no matter what products you take, what exercises you do, He is always the one who will decide whether or not you will get pregnant. Trust Him with every desire of your heart, and pray the prayer that never fails; ‘Thy will be done.’

Is there anything else you would like to share?

Don’t forget to enjoy your husband while you are on this journey together. He is just as concerned as you with your health or his, though he may not necessarily display as you do (Thank you, Lord, that men tend to be less dramatic that women!).

Update 5/14/14: My pregnancy is going well- lots of nausea which was not present in my previous pregnancy loss. I am a little over eight weeks along and have an appointment with a midwife at the end of this month when I hope to hear the baby’s heartbeat.

Elizabeth's Fertility Success Story Interview

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

7/1/15: My baby and I are wonderful! We are breastfeeding, which helped me get back to my pre-pregnancy weight, and has helped him become a fat and happy little boy, even though he was born a bit too early and struggled to gain weight for the first couple weeks. His name is Milo, he is 6 and a half months old, and one of the greatest joys of my life- the sweetest little boy a girl could ask for!

🌱 Ashwagandha is one of my favorite herbs for stress support while trying to conceive. 

It is easy to use and the calming effects can be felt pretty quickly after starting the herb. 

➡️ The hormonal support results take a bit longer, as with any hormone supportive herb, but is wonderful for both women and men who are experiencing high stress and hormone imbalances. 

Type ASH in the comments below and I will share which Ashwagandha I recommend and how to use it for fertility support. 👇👇

🧪 Xenohormones are chemicals that mimic the effects of hormones in the body. 

They can disrupt the endocrine system, which controls the production, transport, and function of hormones. 🚫

This can lead to a variety of health problems, including fertility issues. 

Examples of xenohormones include certain pesticides, plastics, and phthalates. 🕯️

Exposure to these chemicals can affect the production of hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, which play key roles in fertility. 

Xenohormones can also affect ovulation and implantation of a fertilized egg, leading to infertility. 

It would be best to avoid these chemicals as much as possible. 

👇👇To  learn more about which chemicals to avoid and which products are most important to replace type in ‘TOXIC’ in the comments below to get my guide to Creating a Healthy Home for Fertility Pregnancy & Family 👇👇

The body is always giving us feedback to what is happening inside. How regularly you go to the bathroom shares a lot about your digestive health.... as does a bloated belly or gas. Your period or monthly cycle can share a lot about your hormonal state. Your skin can share how your liver is doing. And so on. What have you learned from listening to your body?

🕯️Chemicals in candles, such as paraffin and phthalates, can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) when burned. 

Some research suggests that certain VOCs, such as phthalates, may disrupt hormone balance by mimicking estrogen and other hormones in the body. 🚫

It’s always a good idea to choose candles made from natural materials, such as beeswax or soy wax, which produce fewer VOCs. 🐝

Preparing for pregnancy is one of the best steps you can take for a healthy pregnancy and child. Here are some steps to help you get started…. 👇

1️⃣ Eat a diet high in fiber. More fruits and veggies

Fiber helps the body to get rid of excess hormones and fruits and veggies are packed with fiber. They also are very hydrating and have lots of nutrients. All are useful for someone with heavy cycles. 

2️⃣ Learn about your fertility cycle through tracking and charting

Fertility charting will help you to understand your current hormonal state, when or if you are ovulating and other information about your cycle that will help to bring clarity to your fertility path. 

3️⃣ Fertility Cleanse 1-2x per year

The first phase of the Fertility Cleanse is a great way to help support the liver in it’s natural ability to get rid of excess hormones. The second phase focuses on the uterus and helping the uterus to cleanse and increase circulation.

💡It can be completely normal for your menstrual cycle to vary in length slightly from month to month! 

Ovulation may come a day before or a day later even in normal some cycles. 

We actually expect to see natural variations between menstrual cycles. 

Early ovulation can be concerning, however, when/if it consistently happens.

When in doubt get it checked out. 

One of the most common reasons I suggest women to see their doctors is when they are experiencing  a heavy period that doesn’t stop after 5-7 days and has heavy flow. 

There are many different reasons this could be happening, but we first want to make sure it isn’t something that requires medical assistance before going on to healthy lifestyle support.

🌱 One of my favorite ways to support fertility and hormone health is through herbs. 

Over the past 20+ years that I have been an herbalist I have seen what herbs can do to help turn someone’s health around. 

When it comes to fertility there are a lot of different herbs that you can use. But they all have different actions. There is no one herb that fits all for fertility. 

That is one of the reasons I make herbal blends & formulas. 

Three of my favorite herbs are vitex, maca and shatavari, but they each have different effects on the body. 

So the key to success with fertility herbs is to first figure out what is going on in your body and then you can pick the right herbal formula for you. 

You can do this by charting your fertility (I have a lot of posts about fertility charting on my feed as well as my website) and also paying attention to your period. 🩸

👇READ THIS if you have a regular period but still haven’t gotten pregnant…. 

The answer is YES. The menstruation phase of a monthly fertility cycle is only one stage of the cycle. 

There are many other times of the month that are even more important like: 

🌸 Follicular phase: When the lining is growing and follicles are maturing

🌸 Ovulation: When the egg is released

🌸 Implantation: When the fertilized egg implants

🌸 Luteal phase: The time period between ovulation and the next cycle needs to be long enough for implantation to occur.
