Trying To Conceive. Trying Not to Conceive

Hethir Rodriguez - Certified Herbalist and Nutritionist
December 6, 2018

by Karen Squires

I’ve just turned 40 years old. That means that I’ve spent over 20 years thinking about my fertility. Sometimes my goal was to achieve pregnancy; other times I wanted to prevent it. Either way, I discovered there are many ways to monitor fertility naturally.

Natural Family Planning

The first day of your period is day one of your new cycle. During the first part of a woman’s monthly cycle, called the follicular or proliferative phase, the egg is maturing under the influence of estrogen. The estrogen continues to rise as the egg matures. When the estrogen reaches a certain level, it triggers the release of LH (Luteinizing Hormone), which causes the ovary to release the mature egg.

The second phase of your cycle now begins, called the luteal or ovulatory phase. After the egg is released from the ovary the follicle that held the egg will collapse in on itself, becoming a corpus luteum. The corpus luteum produces progesterone for the remainder of the cycle.

Progesterone does three things:
– It prevents any more eggs from being released that cycle.
– It thickens the uterine lining in preparation for the fertilized egg.
– It causes the cervical mucus to become infertile again along with changing the position and conditions in the cervix.

Progesterone is a heat-producing hormone and causes a slight raise in your basal body temperature. Your temperature chart will show this temperature rise usually about 12-48 hours after ovulation. If no pregnancy occurs the corpus luteum deteriorates about 12-16 days after ovulation and your period begins.

If conception does occur the egg will travel down the fallopian tube to the uterus, a journey that takes 3-4 days. It floats around in the uterus for a few more days and then attaches itself to the uterine lining about 7-10 days after ovulation.

It then immediately releases Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) into your blood stream and signals the corpus luteum to continue producing progesterone and you will miss your period. It is HCG that home pregnancy tests (HPT) detect in your urine and you may get a positive as early as 9-12 days after ovulation. Wait until your period is late before getting tested.

After you have charted your temperature for about 3-4 cycles, you will be able to determine when ovulation may occur and plan around it. If trying to conceive, you will want to do the “baby dance” during the days immediately before ovulation. If you are trying to avoid pregnancy, you should abstain for about 5 days before ovulation and about 2-3 days after.

Digital Basal Thermometer

In order for the temperature chart to be of use to you, you need to take your temperature at the same time every morning before getting up, so if you have an erratic schedule this may not work for you. You will need a basal body temperature thermometer. It is more sensitive than a regular thermometer and can detect very small changes in body temperature.

One downside to the temperature chart is that it lets you know after ovulation has occurred, not that it is going to. So, if you are trying to conceive, don’t wait until after the temperature rise to have relations as you will actually be practicing birth control. (This is where the saliva testing comes in very handy as it lets you know that ovulation is on its way.)

Most chart examples show 28-day cycles but know that it is not an indication of a fertility problem if your cycles are longer or shorter. What matters is that your luteal phase (the second part of your cycle after ovulation with the temperature rise) is fairly consistent in regards to the number of days from ovulation to menstruation. If you usually have a 13-day luteal phase you should see that same pattern within a day either way, every cycle. (Your luteal phase should be at least 10 days long, some doctors say 12, in order for the egg to implant and signal the ovary to continue production of progesterone. You may have repeated early miscarriages if it is shorter). The first part of your cycle when the egg is maturing, can fluctuate from 3 weeks to 5 weeks without alarm. It is not uncommon for women to ovulate on Day 14, Day 18, Day 21…. irregular cycles are common.

Natural Family Planning also recommends that you include some other methods of checking fertility along with the temperature chart. You can check your cervical mucus as it can give you signs that ovulation is on its way. Leading up to ovulation, cervical mucus becomes fertile and will look much like clear egg white from a raw egg. If placed between a thumb and finger it will stretch quite far, 1-or more inches. After ovulation, this type of mucus goes away and becomes white and pasty, dry, yellow, or any combination of that. Reading cervical mucus signs can take a few cycles to learn. I have only given you a tiny bit of information on how to do it. You’ll need to read about this some more to know what to look for.

Cervical Position

You can also check cervical position. Close to the time of ovulation the cervix becomes softer, moves higher, and opens up. After ovulation, it moves back down and becomes hard and closed. Wash your hands before checking your cervix.

OPK

Another way to monitor fertility, and an expensive one, is ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) They have become the rage for women trying to conceive. A kit usually contains about 5 tests and costs $15 or more. You use one a day around the time you expect ovulation to occur. They look much like pregnancy tests. You dip the stick in your urine and lay it on the counter and wait for the results. You will see a control line show up as the urine moves across the window. You will also see a second line, called the test line, as ovulation approaches. An ovulation predictor test differs from pregnancy tests in that with a pregnancy test even a faint test line is positive and indicates that HCG has been detected and you are likely pregnant. With OPKs, the test line needs to be as dark or darker than the control line to show that ovulation is imminent. I found OPKs to be a waste of money. I have irregular cycles and so I could easily run 10-15 of these per cycle before I got a positive. It was draining my pocketbook using these each month and I found it much easier to keep a temperature chart and monitor other signs that ovulation was approaching. Not using OPKs left some of the fun and spontaneity in doing the baby dance since I wasn’t quite sure when the egg was going to arrive. Of course, using the saliva detector is much cheaper and easier to use so why waste your money.

Check out http://www.fertilityfriend.com. which allows you to record your temperature every day. It also asks you what your cervical position is as well as what your mucus is like (you can choose not to monitor those if it makes you feel uncomfortable) among other questions. It will tell you when you are fertile each cycle, when to test for pregnancy, it will alert you to signs that you may be pregnant, when the baby will be due, along with other valuable information. I have charted on paper (which works very well too) for years and I still learned new things on fertilityfriend. You get 30 days free so try it at the beginning of a new cycle. By the end you’ll have a much better understanding of your fertility. If you decide to continue with on-line charting you are offered a membership at $10 a month, $25 for 90 days or $45 for indefinite use. You can continue to use it free but with less options. It’s fun and you’ll learn a lot. BabyMed.com provides a similar free service.

Saliva Microscope

One method is by using a tiny hand-held microscope used to view saliva to determine your fertile period. These microscopes are about the same size as a tube of lipstick so you can carry them around in your purse. The simplicity in this method of testing is wonderful. No more collecting urine for ovulation predictor kits.

With this tiny microscope, you simply lick the lens and wait 10 minutes for the saliva to dry; then view your results. A woman’s saliva changes in the 3-4 days leading up to ovulation. During those few days electrolytes (or salts) increase dramatically in body fluids (e.g. cervical mucus and saliva) along with the hormone estrogen. This causes a ferning-like pattern to occur in dried cervical mucus and saliva. The ferning is caused by the dried salt and looks much like the frost seen on the window on a winter morning.
Fertility MicroscopeA few days before ovulation you will start to see small lines about the width of a hair and about 1/4 of an inch long. There may be just a few or there may be many of them. The quantity is not as important as the presence of them. You are now approaching ovulation. You should now test at least two times per day. Soon you will see the presence of more lines and they may become longer. The patterns may take different shapes, i.e.: veins in a leaf, snowflakes, spider’s web, frost on a window pane. The lines will connect and overlap, this is the ferning pattern you are looking for. This means you are starting the ovulation process and now is the best time for relations.

Continue to test at least two times a day. On any other day in the cycle the dried mucus or saliva will look like random unconnected dots. The fertile type ferning will return to a dot pattern usually about 2-3 days after ovulation. Some women report no ferning the day of ovulation, you will learn what is normal for you after a few cycles. When a combination of dots and ferns are present it is called a “transition” pattern; the woman is less fertile, but conception is still very possible. A little hint; don’t wait until the last day of ferning to do the “baby dance” as you may have missed the egg since ferning may continue for 2-3 days after ovulation. If you wish to conceive, have relations as soon as you see the fertile ferning and continue until it passes back to the infertile dot pattern.

Watch Video: How to Use a Fertility Microscope

Researchers have been studying the changes in cervical mucus during a woman’s cycle since 1945 and fertility clinics and doctors have been using this method of determining fertility for decades. In 1969, Dr. Biel Cassals, a Spanish gynecologist, studied the crystallization of saliva. In 1971, he developed a microscope to check for ferning in saliva. Since then many handheld microscopes have appeared on the market and range in price from about $29.99- $60 on average.

If your child has a microscope, you can use that. 100-200x magnifications is all that is needed. I’ve even used a loupe that’s used for looking at negatives. It is only 8x magnification and I could see ferning. The saliva microscope is more convenient than your child’s microscope though, as they are portable and your child may not appreciate you spitting on their toys. 🙂

Along with checking saliva for ferning you can use other fertility signs to either avoid or achieve pregnancy. The Natural Family Planning method includes using a temperature chart that records your basal body temperature. Your basal body temperature is your body’s temperature at rest. This chart can help you determine if you are ovulating each cycle and about when it happens.

At first, Natural Family Planning may seem like a lot to absorb and you may feel like taking a birth control pill is much easier. It does become easier soon enough though as you practice, and think of the benefits of keeping man-made hormones out of your body. If you want to minimize the amount of time spent looking for signs of fertility, I suggest using the saliva detector and keeping a temperature chart. It’s reassuring to know where you are in your cycle.

There is quite a bit of information on Natural Family Planning whether you are using it for contraception or to achieve a pregnancy. The book I’ve heard most women refer to is Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. It has color photos of cervical mucus and a blank master basal body temperature chart. Once you’ve read this book, you’ll be well on your way to monitoring your fertility and may become pregnant if that is your goal.

This site http://midlifemom.com/ offers information and support on mid-life pregnancy, empty nest syndrome, menopause, and many other issues related to the aging mom. If you find yourself pushing 40, and either already are or about to become a mom, come right on in, because you’re in good company.

This is the supplement used in the study ⤵️

This antioxidant not only showed a 50% increase of success rates in IVF’s it also:

- Improved egg quality
- Stopped DNA oxidation
- Created more egg follicles
- Increased sperm health & motility
- Higher fertilization rate
- Better embryo development

This is beneficial for anyone over 35 ttc. Even if you aren’t doing an IVF. 

The antioxidant is ✨ Ubiquinol✨ .

For best results I like to stack fertility antioxidants. So we not only use Ubiquinol in our egg health program, we also include 5 additional antioxidants that have been shown to provide incredible support for egg health. 

These antioxidants are: 

💎 PQQ (pyrroloquinoline-quinine)
PQQ is an antioxidant known for its cell-protective qualities. It’s particularly good at reducing oxidative stress & the aging effects on cells, enhancing ovarian function and egg quality.

💎 NAC (N-acetylcysteine)
NAC plays a significant role in supporting embryo quality. It provides a defense against oxidative stress. 

💎 L Glutathione
L Glutathione is known for its ability to guard against oxidative stress. It also supports the detoxification processes in the ovaries.

💎 ALA (alpha lipoic acid)
ALA, supports egg quality, fertilization rates, and embryo development. It works by enhancing the quality of the oocytes. 

💎 Selenium
Selenium is an essential mineral. It plays a key role in protecting against oxidative stress. It’s known to improve oocyte production and increase follicle count. Selenium also supports glutathione production, an antioxidant critical for reproductive health.

How to use antioxidants for egg health ⬇️

The key to getting results with antioxidants is to have them circulating in the body continuously. They are not stored by the body and are “spent” when they protect the egg cells against free radicals. This requires daily supplementation. That is why I formulated OvaWise Antioxidants to provide all key 5 antioxidants in one supplement. You can take OvaWise all month long & use them in conjunction with other herbs & supplements.

This is one of the main causes of fertility issues....

Exposure to excessive hormones from our environment.

Yep. These compounds, known as ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS, are causing hormonal imbalances which are negatively affecting our ability to ovulate.

They also negatively affect EGG health and sperm count.

♻️ These environmental factors include plastics (with BPA being one of the most commonly known), body care and hair care products, household cleaners, and even fragrance candles.

 🛀 These environmental factors cause us to have repeated micro exposure to xenoestrogens on a daily basis, without even knowing it.

These xenoestrogens mimic estrogen in the body but in a potent way, causing a hormonal imbalance which can contribute to the growth of uterine fibroids, endometriosis, heavy periods, and painful periods – all of these are linked to excess of estrogen within the body.

So, how do we deal with this? First, we cleanse and detoxify the body.

By supporting the body’s natural ability to eliminate these compounds and excess hormones, we can significantly alleviate the hormonal imbalance.

 👉 This can be done with The Fertility Cleanse Kit. 

Next, we need to eliminate the triggers from our lifestyle. This includes switching out products that contain phthalates, parabens, and endocrine disruptors for natural alternatives.

❗This includes everything from hair care, skincare, body care, household cleaners, to laundry and dish detergent. 

Thank goodness companies are responding to the need for “clean products” and creating effective and healthier alternatives. 

 🥦 Finally, nourishing ourselves with supportive foods is important for fertility and overall health. Consuming a diet rich in whole-foods provides our body with necessary vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids.

Eating a balanced diet consisting of organic vegetables, legumes, nuts/seeds, and healthy fats can provide the support needed to keep hormone levels balanced.

The only advice the Dr gave me was to wait and see...

My fertility journey started out of pure frustration. 

And from that day forward a fire was lit and has been roaring ever since. 

You see, I was miscarrying and all the doctor gave me as a solution was.... to wait and see. 

I bet you know all too well how this feels.

Maybe it wasn’t a pregnancy loss, but was a lack of diagnosis, or a lack of empathy. Or even a lack of believing you when you say something doesn’t seem right. 

That is why I never want you to feel like I did that day. 

That’s why I show up here everyday to share with you everything I know... EVERY WAY I know to support your fertility. 

If you have ever felt LET DOWN AND ALONE along your fertility journey, know that you have options. Know there ARE things you can do to impact your reproductive health. 

If you are ready to take an empowered path to pregnancy. One with options and action. Let me know.

There is no need to “wait and see”...

You can improve your fertility with natural therapies and lifestyle changes.

Here are the top 5 most important things to do. 

✨ Clear detoxification pathways - The time while you are preparing for conception is one of the most important times to create a healthy body in preparation for pregnancy. Fertility cleansing is a way to support the body in preparation for conception by cleansing the uterus and liver.

Through the use of herbs, The Fertility Cleanse encourages the liver to cleanse the body of toxins and excess hormones from the body while increasing circulation to the uterus.

✨ Nourish your eggs - As we age and live our lives throughout the years, our eggs are being exposed to the environment within our body.

High oxidative stress, nutritional deficiency, and lack of circulation all impact the health of our egg cells over time.

✨ Increase circulation to your reproductive system - What does this mean exactly? It means lots of benefits for egg health and uterine lining.

Some great ways to increase circulation to the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries is through Self Fertility Massage and Womb Care Castor Oil Packs. 

✨ Know your fertile window - knowing WHEN or IF you are ovulating will be very important to getting pregnant sooner than later. There are many tools you can use to confirm this.

I personally like fertility charting because it not only pinpoints ovulation but can also give you feedback on other areas of your fertility such as progesterone or thyroid health.  

✨ Reduce stress and create a “receptive” uterine lining - I know, I know, being told to “relax” while ttc can make you grind your teeth, there is major benefits to reducing cortisol levels while ttc.

Consistently high cortisol can prevent ovulation, and that is a no go around here. Exercising, yoga, meditation and tonic herbs (hello Fertility Superfoods) are my favorite ways to nurture my nervous system. Try different things out and find your b l i s s.

There is no need to “wait and see”...

You can improve your fertility with natural therapies and lifestyle changes.

Here are the top 5 most important things to do. 

✨ Clear detoxification pathways - The time while you are preparing for conception is one of the most important times to create a healthy body in preparation for pregnancy. Fertility cleansing is a way to support the body in preparation for conception by cleansing the uterus and liver.

Through the use of herbs, The Fertility Cleanse encourages the liver to cleanse the body of toxins and excess hormones from the body while increasing circulation to the uterus.

✨ Nourish your eggs - As we age and live our lives throughout the years, our eggs are being exposed to the environment within our body.

High oxidative stress, nutritional deficiency, and lack of circulation all impact the health of our egg cells over time.

✨ Increase circulation to your reproductive system - What does this mean exactly? It means lots of benefits for egg health and uterine lining.

Some great ways to increase circulation to the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries is through Self Fertility Massage and Womb Care Castor Oil Packs. 

✨ Know your fertile window - knowing WHEN or IF you are ovulating will be very important to getting pregnant sooner than later. There are many tools you can use to confirm this.

This is the key to egg health...

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

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.

💎 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.

💎 Age has an impact on egg health as the ovaries continued to age, causing the “housing” for the eggs as well as the environment in the body affecting egg cell health.

💎 Protecting the eggs you currently have as well as encouraging ovarian health through diet, herbs, supplements, and increased circulation to the reproductive system is of the utmost importance.

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.

🙂 Good News! There are steps you can take to help support the health of your eggs.

Here are 5 areas to focus on for improving egg health: 

➡️ Detoxification 
➡️ Nutrition
➡️ Antioxidant therapy
➡️ Increasing circulation & reducing inflammation
➡️ Hormone health

📌 Type EGG in the comments below and I will send you my 90 Day Egg Health Checklist which goes into depth each of the steps you need to take to support egg health.

Hormone Health + Uterine Health = Fertility ⤵️

As an herbalist, I find that cleansing is one of the most effective natural therapies I use. 

✨ The body is constantly working to eliminate the old to make space for the new. 

By incorporating cleansing herbs to support this natural function, you can accelerate the benefits and enhance overall health.

When it comes to reproductive health, the advantages of cleansing are particularly significant.
 
This is the recipe for healthy fertility:

📌Hormone Health + Uterine Health

Fertility cleansing specifically targets these two crucial aspects, ensuring that your body is in the best possible condition for conception.

Why Cleansing Works:

🌿 Supports Natural Detoxification: Cleansing herbs assist the liver and other detox organs in removing toxins more efficiently.

🌿 Balances Hormones: By eliminating endocrine disruptors and excess hormones, cleansing helps to restore hormonal balance.

🌿Enhances Uterine Health: Cleansing helps to clear out old, stagnant blood and tissue, preparing the uterus for a healthy lining and successful implantation.

Fertility Cleansing focuses on these key areas to provide a comprehensive approach to reproductive health. 

By supporting your body’s natural processes, you can create an optimal environment for conception and a healthy pregnancy.

That is why this is one of the first steps of my Natural Fertility Formula. 

✨✨If you are ready to start supporting your hormone health and fertility thie Fertility Cleanse Kit is a great place to start.

Do you have a plan?

It can be overwhelming trying to figure out where to start.

Here is what I want you to know…

👏 You can have an impact on your own reproductive health. I call it self-health care and have seen results day in and out of women transforming their hormonal health, periods and fertility issues through the use of natural therapies. 

✨ You need support and encouragement. Having others in your space (even if it is online) who support you and encourage you is important. Read our success stories when you need motivation.

✨You need to take action. Nothing is going to change if things don’t change. The steps are simple, I can teach you those.

Consistency is the “secret”. Many of us get stuck in the information gathering stage but never take action. I know that won’t be you 😉

✨Shifts in reproductive health take time. The body works at its own pace. Coming back into balance can take multiple cycles. Have realistic expectations and patience with yourself. In the long run 3-6 months isn’t very long. 

✨Nutrition is underrated. Foods are just as much the solution as the cause. Make nutrition part of your fertility plans no matter what. You don’t have to be perfect but be on purpose. 

✨Age ≠ fertility. If you are over 35 your probably feeling the pressure of “age” impacting your fertility. It’s not actually about age. What is important are 2 things. Ovulation and Egg Health. Focusing on these two areas will take you 10x farther than worrying about age. 

✨Know thy body. One of the most important tools that I teach is how to read the feedback your body is giving you about your reproductive health.If you can understand your body’s signs - you will have clarity on what to focus in on. 

✨You need to commit to a plan and follow through. The results of the ‘Formula’ are pretty predictable. It is the accumulation of 17 years of supporting women with natural therapies put into an easy to use guide & checklist.

Plant Foods to Embrace:

🥦 Cruciferous Vegetables

Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, kale, and cauliflower are not only nutrient-dense but also contain compounds such as indole-3-carbinol, which has been shown to support hormonal balance and may alleviate period pain.

A study in the Journal of Nutrition highlighted that these vegetables could modulate estrogen metabolism, potentially reducing the risk of estrogen-related conditions.

🌶 Iron-Rich Foods

Leafy greens and legumes are pivotal for replenishing iron lost during menstruation, especially important for those experiencing heavy bleeding. The non-heme iron found in plant foods, while not as readily absorbed as heme iron from animal products, can still significantly contribute to iron levels when consumed with vitamin C-rich foods to enhance absorption.

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that vegetarians who consume a variety of plant foods are not at any greater risk of iron deficiency than non-vegetarians.

It`s a myth that plant-based diets cannot provide enough iron; foods like lentils, chickpeas, and spinach are excellent sources.

🌰 Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids, found in flaxseeds and walnuts, are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, which can reduce menstrual cramps. A study in the Journal of Reproductive Health suggested that omega-3 supplementation could lessen menstrual pain. Incorporating these into a plant-based diet can offer a natural approach to managing period discomfort.

🌾 Whole Grains

Quinoa, brown rice, and oats are not only filling but also provide B vitamins and fiber, aiding in digestion and hormonal regulation. Whole grains can help stabilize blood sugar levels, which is crucial for maintaining hormonal balance.

The fiber in whole grains also plays a role in binding excess hormones and removing them from the body, as indicated in research from the Journal of Nutrition.

Fertility Myths about ovulation

👉🏽 Myth #1: Period = ovulation 

Fact: Regular periods can occur without ovulation. A period is the uterine lining shedding, not the loss of the egg. 

👉🏽 Myth #2: Positive OPK test guarantees ovulation 

Fact: Ovulation tests detect the LH surge, indicating your body is preparing to ovulate, but they do not confirm that ovulation has occurred. Confirming ovulation typically requires tracking basal body temperature or hormone levels.

 
👉🏽 Myth #3: You can only get pregnant on the day you ovulate 

Fact: The fertile window can be up to 6 days, including the days leading up to and the day of ovulation, due to sperm’s ability to survive in the female reproductive tract for several days.

👉🏽 Myth #4: Having s3x everyday increases your chances of pregnancy

Fact: While regular intercourse is important, having sex every day can decrease sperm quality. It’s more effective to have sex every 2-3 days during the fertile window.

👉🏽 Myth #5: You always ovulate on day 14 of your cycle

Fact: Ovulation can vary widely among women and even from cycle to cycle. It typically occurs 10-16 days before the start of the next period.

How to know IF and WHEN you are ovulating. ⤵️

Track your basal body temperature daily. 

▶️ Measure first thing in the morning.
▶️ Use an app, chart, or digital tool.
▶️ Look for patterns: lower temps before ovulation, higher after.

What your chart says about your fertility:

✔️ BBT tracking can confirm ovulation. - A sustained rise in temperature typically indicates ovulation, crucial for timing intercourse for conception.

✔️Once you start charting, you’ll see patterns. Lower temperatures before ovulation and higher ones after. The day your temperature spikes is likely the day after you’ve ovulated.

Use your body’s feedback to support your reproductive health. The Natural Fertility Formula teaches these tools in detail and gives you the foundation to improve YOUR fertility.

You are THE expert on your own body. Let’s listen to what it is telling you and get started today.
