Summary

Unexplained infertility is a term we hear a lot in the reproductive world. Basically, it is the term used when there is no found cause for infertility. Usually a couple has gone through all of the testing available and everything comes back clear. This is good news, but can be so frustrating if you have not gotten pregnant yet. In the case of unexplained infertility, it can be hard to figure out what to do next. A diagnosis of unexplained infertility is given to about 25% of couples with infertility.

Unexplained Infertility:
Cover the Basics

Sometimes it could be as simple as a nutritional deficiency, low cervical mucous, inaccurate timing of sexual intercourse, a pre-existing health issue, or it may be that you need to explore options for more in-depth testing. It is important to cover all the basics, including additional testing that may need to take place. We are going to cover key areas that need to be addressed; some areas may or may not apply to you, but some may have not been taken into consideration when you were given your diagnosis.

Approximately a quarter of all consultations we do involve couples who are given a diagnosis of unexplained infertility, yet they also have other health-related conditions, may have poor dietary and lifestyle habits, and many even have fertility issues that directly impact reproductive health. If you have been diagnosed with a fertility issue such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, etc., those issues may be what is causing your infertility struggles. It is very important to address those issues individually, prior to trying to conceive.

Hormonal Balance

If the hormones are not balanced or the menstrual cycle is off, pregnancy cannot occur. If pregnancy does occur, the risk of miscarriage increases. This is important for the male partner as well. Men can have a hormonal imbalance as well, which may contribute to difficulties in becoming pregnant due to poor sperm health or other health related issues.

Women
Menstrual cycle irregularities may be a sign of hormonal imbalance, or other more serious fertility issues. If any of the below hormones are not at the correct levels, the menstrual cycle may become irregular. Hormonal imbalance may cause a variety of other health related issues that can affect quality of life. For example, thinning hair, heart palpitations, low libido, depression, etc.

  • Progesterone
  • Estrogen
  • Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
  • Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
  • Androgens for example DHEA, Testosterone
  • Thyroid hormones
  • Prolactin

Men
The number one hormonal imbalance in men is with the ratio of testosterone vs. estrogen. Other health-related problems may contribute to hormonal imbalance in men. Poor diet and lifestyle choices are the most common reason for hormonal imbalance, low sperm count, and poor sperm health. Common signs of hormonal imbalance in men are low libido, abnormal hair growth, and erectile dysfunction.

The most common hormonal imbalance in men:

  • Testosterone
  • DHEA
  • Prolactin
  • Estrogen

Cervical Mucus

Low cervical mucus is one of the simplest yet most important factors to becoming pregnant. If the cervical mucus is scant, nonexistent or too acidic, then the sperm will not be able to make their way to the cervix.

Causes of Low Cervical Mucus

  • Not enough water intake each day
  • Poor circulation to the reproductive organs; sedentary lifestyle
  • Hormonal imbalance may cause changes to the entire menstrual cycle, which may inhibit production of fertile cervical mucus. Both low progesterone and estrogen levels may cause low cervical mucous production.
  • Fertility medications containing hormones can alter fertile cervical mucus production
  • Cervical fibroid (very rare)
  • Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) and cryosurgery damage for cervical dysplasia or HPV. These procedures can, in some cases, cause cervical scar tissue damage, which may close off the ducts that secrete the cervical mucus. This is very rare.

There are natural remedies that help the body to produce more, sperm-friendly cervical mucus as well as sperm-friendly lubricants.

Other Health-Related Factors and Problems that Affect Both Women’s and Men’s Fertility

Other health-related problems may cause hormonal imbalance, poor egg health, low ovarian reserve, or poor/abnormal immune response, which may affect conception. Many times, doctors may overlook these other health issues or not link them to a couple’s fertility troubles. If you have any of the below health issues, it is important to first address those problems, because problems with any of the below may directly impact your ability to conceive.

  • Thyroid issues
  • Poor Adrenal Health
  • Very low body weight
  • Obesity
  • Diabetes
  • Autoimmune disease
  • Cancer (chemotherapy and radiation may cause Premature Ovarian Failure or low sperm count and health)
  • Injury or trauma to reproductive organs, or one of the endocrine glands
  • Smoking
  • Alcoholism
  • Drug Addiction
  • Hypertension
  • Long-term use of medications
  • Heavy exposure to radiation or other environmental pollution

Note: We have many great articles about most of the above topics, simply do a search in the top right-hand corner of the page!

Stress

You may not know it, but our bodies are equipped to prevent conception from occurring during times of extreme stress. The presence of adrenaline, the hormone that is released by our bodies during stressful times, signals to our body that conditions are not ideal for conception. Adrenaline inhibits us from utilizing the hormone progesterone, which is essential for fertility. It also causes the pituitary gland to release higher levels of prolactin, which may also contribute to fertility issues that prevent conception from occurring. High stress levels can impact fertility for both female and male partners.

Recent research tells us that stress boosts levels of stress hormones such as adrenaline, catecholamines, and cortisol, which can inhibit the release of the body’s main hormone, GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone), which is responsible for the release of sex hormones. Subsequently, this may suppress ovulation in women, reduce sperm count in men and lower libido in both women and men. GnRH is responsible for the release of luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone by the pituitary, the suppression of testosterone, estrogens, and sexual behavior.

Chronic stress may cause lack of libido as well as a decrease in general fertility. Learn great tips on stress management here…

Have You Had All the Necessary Testing?

There are a wide range of tests that doctors perform before they diagnose a couple with unexplained infertility, but through the hundreds of consultations we have done, most couples have not had complete tests performed. Be sure you get the following hormones tested.

Full hormone panel including:

  • Progesterone
  • Estradiol
  • Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
  • Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
  • Androgens (ex: testosterone/DHEA)
  • Thyroid hormone levels
  • Prolactin levels
  • Homocysteine levels
  • Immunological markers

It is very important for both couples to be tested. Many times, the female partner will be given an unexplained infertility diagnosis, but her male partner has not had any testing performed. Male partners need to be tested as well!

Who is in Need of Immunological Fertility Testing?
People with the following indications may want to consider getting tested by a Reproductive Immunologist. A Reproductive Immunologist differs from a Reproductive Endocrinologist, which most couples are referred to when fertility issues are not determined by an OB GYN or other doctor. Reproductive Immunologists have the training and skills to determine if there is in fact an immunological response gone awry that is causing difficulty in getting pregnant or carrying to full term.

  • Two or more miscarriages after the age of 35
  • Two IVF failures after the age of 35
  • 3 miscarriages before the age of 35
  • 1 failed IVF before the age of 35
  • Poor egg production from a stimulated cycle (6 eggs or less)
  • Blighted ovum
  • Pre-existing immune problems (Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, MS)
  • Unexplained Infertility diagnosis
  • Previous pregnancies showing retarded fetal growth
  • One healthy pregnancy with all subsequent pregnancies ending in miscarriage
  • Endometriosis, especially stage 1 & 2
  • Cold and flu-like symptoms, sore throat noted regularly after ovulation, IUI, or IVF transfer
  • Family history of immune disorders, either side of the family

Learn to Chart Your Most Fertile Times and Time Sexual Intercourse Correctly

Be sure you are timing sexual intercourse right. It may be that you are missing your window of opportunity a.k.a. your most fertile time! Could it really be as simple as inaccurate timing? Yes!

According to a recent study, researchers at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, polled 204 women who were enrolled for assisted reproductive technology (ART). Only 13 percent of the women could correctly answer which days of their menstrual cycle they were most fertile, but 68 percent believed they had timed sexual intercourse correctly.

Kerry Hampton, who lead the study said, “This study found a majority of the women seeking fertility treatment had insufficient knowledge of when to time intercourse to optimize natural conception…Accurately timed intercourse on fertile days of the menstrual cycle may reduce the time it takes a couple to get pregnant, helping some to avoid unnecessary ART treatment.”

You have a 6-day window to get pregnant, with only 2 peak days. So, begin trying to conceive 3 days prior to ovulation, the day of ovulation, and 2 days after that. If your male partner has low sperm count or poor sperm health, try to have sex only the day of ovulation. Abstaining from sexual intercourse for the days prior to ovulation will help to build up his sperm count.

Most women ovulate 2 weeks before menstruation begins. Charting helps you to know if and when you may be ovulating, which will help you to know when to try to conceive.

Natural Options for Unexplained Infertility

Doctors often jump to aggressive fertility medications or give the couple the option of IVF if they are not able to conceive on their own naturally. It seems like there should be a better way, right? So if you have been diagnosed with infertility for unknown reasons, what should you do? Let’s start by taking a good look at daily lifestyle and eating habits and then what we can do naturally to prepare for pregnancy.

The great thing about herbs and natural therapies is that the focus is on bringing the body back into balance. With unexplained infertility, there are a few areas you can look into. A simple program to follow is outlined below.

1. Eat a Nutritious Nutrient-Dense Whole Foods Diet

Nutritional Status: Eat a Fertility Diet

Diet is the most important way to support fertility health. What you put into your body and what you avoid are the foundation for cellular health; this includes the cells that make the egg and sperm. We are what we eat. Nutritional deficiencies contribute to almost all fertility issues.

Having a nutritional deficiency can cause the menstrual cycle to become imbalanced, may cause a lack of beneficial hormones to be produced, contribute to poor sperm count and health or cause the body to lack overall health. For example, iron is necessary for ovulation. Calcium is vital to healthy menstruation. Folic acid is required prior to conception to prevent birth defects in the baby and Vitamin C is essential for sperm health.

Changing the diet should always be the first thing anyone with unexplained infertility focuses on. Keep a journal of everything you eat a day; what areas are lacking?

So, what does eating a whole food diet mean? This means that the foods you consume should be minimally processed, as close to their natural state as possible. Harvard performed a study that showed an 80% decrease in infertility by switching to a fertility diet.

Key diet tips to follow:

Eat Whole Foods– Fresh vegetables, fruits, raw seeds and nuts, whole grains, lean grass-fed free-range organic meats and dairy products (limited).

Examples of Whole Foods:

  • Dried beans you make yourself vs. canned beans
  • Homemade organic leftover meat vs. deli meats
  • Raw, lightly steamed, or lightly sautéed veggies/fruit vs. canned, also, frozen is a better option than canned, but raw is still best
  • Raw dairy products vs. pasteurized and homogenized dairy products
  • Fresh vegetable/fruit juices vs. concentrated and pasteurized juice
  • Whole grains vs. pastas and breads

Take a whole food multivitamin. This can help to ensure you are getting all the proper nutrients needed daily! This means both partners; men need to take a multivitamin just as much as a woman does!

Avoid anti-nutrients– Processed foods abound. Most things in the grocery store that come in a box are highly processed and contain preservatives, dyes, and fillers. Some of these anti-nutrients may actually harm fertility health because they disrupt hormonal balance.

Drink clean water– Drink filtered water; try to avoid tap water. Be sure you are drinking at least 8 full glasses of water. This will not only keep you hydrated, but will help you to flush toxins from the body daily.

2. Lifestyle Management

Address Stress!

Take a look at both partners’ stress levels. If you have high stress, there is a possibility that this may be hindering conception efforts for multiple reasons. The body is designed to prevent conception from occurring during times of high stress. High stress impacts hormone levels, sperm and egg health, as well as libido. Work to reduce stress levels. Try meditation, calming herbs, daily exercise, etc.

Exercise

Get your body moving! Exercise is extremely important for a variety of reasons. Regular exercise strengthens the muscles, builds stamina, may increase flexibility, increases circulation, keeps stress, depression and anxiety at bay, and promotes regular detoxification of excess hormones and toxins in the body. It is important to exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week. Make sure that the exercise you choose to do promotes sweat. Sweating is not only the body’s way to cool itself off, it is its way to naturally detoxify daily. All of this is very important for healthy hormonal balance and circulation to the reproductive organs. Regular exercise also is beneficial for preparing the body for the hard work of childbirth.

Cut out bad habits!

Consider daily habits you have that are not so healthy. This could be smoking, drinking alcohol regularly, high caffeine or sugar intake. All of these are known to directly negatively impact fertility for both men and women.

Fertility Cleansing

Beginning your natural fertility plan by choosing to do a Fertility Cleanse may help to reduce the impacts of bad lifestyle choices and prepare the body for healthy conception. Twice-yearly Fertility Cleansing for both the female and male partners may greatly support hormonal balance while promoting natural detoxification of environmental toxins.

3. Consider following Herbal and Nutritional Supplement Program

Fertility Herbs

Fertility Herbs are a great way to bring about healthy healing and change in the body. There are many supportive herbs for pregnancy preparation and supporting men’s fertility health. Some herbs are considered fertility superfoods, which boost nutrition while supporting endocrine system function. Other herbs prepare the uterus for pregnancy. Some aid in menstrual cycle regulation and stress support and some have been shown to increase sperm health.

Once the body is cleansed and ready for trying to conceive you may want to add pregnancy preparation herbs to your mix. There are specific herbs that help prepare the body for healthy conception, promote ovulation, and keep the hormones balanced. My favorite herbal blend for this is FertiliCare Phase 1 & 2 for women. Here are some key herbs in this blend and their beneficial actions:

Tribulus(Tribulus terrestris)

Rehmannia (Rehmannia glutinosa): Rehmannia root is effective at reducing uterine inflammation and spasm. It is also a nourishing blood tonic, important for a healthy menstrual cycle. Rehmannia has been used traditionally for thousands of years in TCM to improve liver function and health, which in turn helps with hormonal balance.

Vitex, Chaste Tree Berry (Vitex agnus-castus): Vitex supports hormonal balance in the body by having an effect on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis (hormonal feedback loop). Vitex has been found to help normalize ovulation.

Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis): A wonderful reproductive toner which increases circulation to the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. This is one of the best herbs for supporting uterine health. Dong Quai is an effective aid for regulating hormonal control, promoting a healthy menstrual cycle.

Maca (Lepidium meyenii): Maca is a nourishing food for the endocrine system, aiding the pituitary, adrenal, and thyroid glands (all involved in hormonal balance). Maca may help to increase progesterone levels, which are essential to carrying a healthy pregnancy.

Supportive Herbs for Male Fertility

American Ginseng

(Panax quinquefolius)

Fo-ti, also known as Ho Shou Wu or He Shou Wu, root (Polygonum multiflorum): Traditionally used for men who have low libido, low sperm count, erectile dysfunction and poor sperm motility, Fo-ti, supports fertility longevity.

Goji berry, dried fruit (Lycium barbarum, L.chinense): Goji berries protect sperm from hyperthermia (overheating), increase hormone levels, and improve sperm quantity and quality through their high antioxidant content. They also work to support hormonal balance through improved liver function and are extremely nutritious as well.

Maca root (Lepidium meyenii): Men who use maca have been seen to have an increased libido and healthy sperm, showing an increase in seminal volume, sperm count per ejaculate, and sperm motility.

Milk Thistle seed (Silybum marianum): Milk thistle seed is one of the best plants for liver health. Liver health is vital for hormonal balance. The liver helps to filter toxins from the body, including excess hormones; this in turn supports hormonal balance.

Seaweed (variety of species): Seaweed is extremely high in vitamins and minerals, including iodine, which is necessary for proper thyroid function. Additionally, it is high in fiber for improved estrogen metabolism.

Tribulus, aerial parts and fruit (Tribulus terrestris): Tribulus has been shown to be effective in aiding sex hormone production, increasing LH and testosterone in men, and may help to increase sperm count, motility and health.

Learn about a variety of different herbs that support healthy fertility here…

Antioxidants

Antioxidants are one of the most important components to having healthy fertility that every woman and man needs to focus on. Antioxidants are a family of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that help to protect the body from the damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cell structures. Antioxidants are one of the first lines of defense we have for protecting egg and sperm health!

Omega Essential Fatty Acids

EFA’s aid the body in balancing weight, support body system function, and create a healthy environment for conception. EFA’s have been shown to support hormonal production and balance in both men and women.

A sample program for couples experiencing unexplained infertility:

Women

Month One: Fertility Diet, Fertility Cleanse, Prenatal multivitamin, Omega Fatty Acid, Antioxidants
Month Two+: Fertility Diet, FertiliCare Phase 1 & 2 herbal blend, Prenatal multivitamin, Omega Fatty Acid, Antioxidants

Men

Month One: Fertility Diet, Male Fertility Cleanse, Men’s Multivitamin, Omega Fatty Acid, Antioxidants
Month Two+: Fertility Diet, Men’s Multivitamin, Omega Fatty Acid, Antioxidants, Supportive Herbs

Additional nutrients that you may want to add to this sample program:

Systemic Enzyme Therapy: This is helpful for situations of autoimmune infertility, where the body attacks and rejects the embryo or the sperm. Systemic Enzyme Therapy is also helpful if scar tissue or stagnation may be present. Examples of stagnation are conditions such as endometriosis, PCOS, or blocked tubes.

Summary

When facing unexplained infertility, it is important to cover the basics first: hormonal balance, cervical mucus, health problems, stress levels, nutritional status, and lifestyle habits. Do you think you may need additional testing? If so, that needs to be addressed as well. Be sure you are timing sex correctly and be sure you learn to chart your cycle so you know exactly when your most fertile times are. Eat well. Reduce stress. Exercise. Cut out bad habits. Consider supportive herbs and supplements.

Here are my top 5 ⤵️

Men experience fertility issues just as frequently as women do. The good news is it’s a lot simpler to address male fertility as they only have a handful of causes of imbalance. 

Herbs are a great way to support male fertility naturally (in addition to a nutrient dense diet). These are my top herbs for male fertility...

🧜‍♂️ American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) - A traditional rejuvenation tonic for men, American ginseng nourishes and supports the nervous system, immune function, and proper hormonal balance. It may support healthy 🍆 drive and performance.

🧜‍♂️ Tribulus (Tribulus terrestris) – Traditionally used in both traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, Tribulus supports normal count, motility and morphology, improves 🍆 function. Tribulus is known to help increase luteinizing hormone (LH), DHEA and encourages normal testosterone production- all factors which influence sp3rm quality and health.

🧜‍♂️ Maca root (Lepidium meyenii)– A tonic for the hormonal system, maca supports and nourishes the hypothalamus and thyroid, encouraging normal sp3rm health as well as 🍆function/libido, increased energy, stamina, and mental clarity.

🧜‍♂️ Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) – Nourishing to the entire endocrine system, saw palmetto supports overall reproductive function in men. Men with low sp3rm count, low libido, stress, who are irritable or experiencing anxiety, who have poor immune function, poor lifestyle and dietary habits have shown to benefit from this herb.

🧜‍♂️ Yohimbe bark (Pausinystalia yohimbe) – Found to support healthy male drive and increase circulation to the male reproductive organs, yohimbe helps to sustain an 🍆 naturally.

What to eat for fertility...

Nutrition can make a big difference when you are wanting to prepare for pregnancy, support hormonal health or overcome fertility issues. 

But it can sometimes be hard to start new habits. 

One of my favorite ways to make lasting dietary changes is to focus on what you can add instead of only the things you shouldn’t be eating.

There are 5 specific things I have my clients add to their current diets every day. 

🍌What they found after about 21 days of eating this way, they started to not only crave healthier foods, their body was giving them positive feedback through lighter cycles, better digestion, clearer skin and more energy. ⚡

While eating healthy is something you will need to do for the rest of your life, doing a challenge like this helps to give you a great jump start.

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.

Why Fertility Cleansing works ⤵️

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 this is a great place to start.

5 Signs You Might not be ovulating 👇

Ovulation is key when trying to get pregnant, but many women assume they are ovulating just because they have a period. 

Only 13% of women TTC know their fertile times.

Here are signs you might not be ovulating and how to confirm:

🚩Low to no cervical mucous - Cervical mucus changes throughout your cycle, becoming clear and stretchy around ovulation. If you notice little to no cervical mucus, it could be a sign of ovulatory issues

🚩Short fertility cycles (< 24 days)- Menstrual cycles shorter than 22 days may indicate that ovulation is not occurring or is happening too early, which can affect fertility

🚩Long fertility cycles (> 35 days) - Long cycles can be a sign of irregular or absent ovulation.

🚩Low body weight (BMI <18.5) - Being underweight can disrupt hormone levels, leading to irregular periods or even stopping ovulation altogether

🚩Irregular or absent periods - If your periods are irregular or you miss them altogether, it might be a sign of anovulation

But let’s not assume. 

Here is how to know IF and WHEN you are ovulating. ⤵️

Track your basal body temperature daily. 

▶️ Measure your temp. first thing when you wake each morning. 
▶️ Use an app, chart printed online or a digital tracking tool.
▶️ Take a look at the pattern created through consistent daily tracking. 

What your chart says about your fertility:

✔️ BBT tracking can confirm ovulation. - A sustained rise in temperature typically indicates that ovulation has occurred. This is crucial for timing intercourse for conception.

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

Use the feedback your body gives you to KNOW exactly how 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 translate what it is telling you and get started today.

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.

Age isn’t the only factor...

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.

In addition, having healthy fertility is based on many additional aspects to consider, including:

➡️ Proper circulation
➡️ A healthy fertility cycle
➡️ Balanced hormones

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.

📌 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.
