I discovered the Natural Fertility Info website when I was trying to get pregnant with my second baby. I got pregnant when my daughter was one but suffered miscarriage and couldn’t get pregnant again. Eventually, I started to chart my basal body temperature and found out that the luteal phase of my cycle is too short at 9 days, probably because I was still breastfeeding my first child. As my daughter was nearly two, I could wean her off but I didn’t want to do that unless it was really inevitable. I needed someone knowledgeable to help me with making my decision, so I tried the fertility consultation. The herbalist, Liz Willett, explained that being fertile is not my body’s priority while breastfeeding, and suggested things to do if I decided to stop – fertility detox, fertility yoga and massage, ways to improve my diet…I followed everything and was very disappointed when I started spotting at the same point of my cycle again. But a few days later, when the temperature still didn’t drop and the spotting stopped, I started to hope. I took a test and it was positive! The pregnancy went without any problems, I even managed to have my dream home birth, and now I’m holding a one month old baby boy in my arms. Liz has been supporting me during my whole pregnancy and even now. I can’t thank her and the whole team behind Natural Fertility Info enough!
