Before trying a medicated cycle, IUI or IVF, consider digging deeper into your health to discover what is behind the cause of your infertility. ⁠
⁠
I’m not anti ART procedures, they can be the right choice for a few. But the reality is that most couples don’t need them! ⁠
⁠
Also, even if you do need IUI or IVF, getting adequate testing & restoring your health will give you BETTER outcomes!⁠
⁠
🔍Root causes matter—and they’re often missed in a standard fertility workup.⁠
⁠
👇Ask yourself:⁠
⁠
• Are you actually ovulating?⁠
• Has your partner done a semen analysis with DNA fragmentation⁠ Have you tested for nutrient deficiencies?⁠
• What’s your metabolic health like?⁠
• How are your hormone levels?⁠ Is your vaginal microbiome healthy?⁠
• Do you struggle with fatigue or burnout?⁠
• What’s your gut health like?⁠
• What do your fasting glucose + insulin look like?⁠
• Have you done in-depth thyroid testing?⁠
• What is your mineral status?⁠
⁠
If these haven’t been investigated I’d hold off on ART for now. You owe it to yourself. ⁠
⁠
✨Even if IUI or IVF is your chosen path, addressing root issues can improve outcomes and reduce miscarriage risk.⁠

When you go a fertility clinic, the number one thing they’re after is your AMH (or Anti-Müllerian Hormone). AMH can indicate how many eggs a woman has left. It is treated as the holy grail of pregnancy success.⁠
⁠
But, in my experience, there is a huge flaw in this method.⁠
⁠
AMH doesn’t predict the success of natrual pregnancy. It only predicts the success for IVF.⁠
⁠
Personally, I do not care about your AMH number. What I care about is the QUALITY of your eggs, not quantity.⁠
⁠
The good news is: it is completely possible to improve your egg quality! Not only can your AMH improve ( as I said earlier you shouldn’t stress about that number), but your egg quality can improve dramatically after diet, lifestyle, and supplement changes. I’ve seen it in hundreds of my clients over the past decade.⁠ And myself, when I got pregnant naturally at 37!⁠
⁠
🔥This is why I created The Pregnancy Package! It’s a comprehensive, 5-month program designed for both partners, with one clear goal: to help you conceive naturally as soon as possible.⁠

Throughout the program, we run extensive labs and meet regularly to tailor a plan that addresses your unique needs.⁠

It’s true. Many couples face the heartbreaking reality of infertility. And while reproductive endocrinologists are incredibly skilled, they often focus on treating the symptoms of infertility with costly interventions like IUI and IVF. ⁠
⁠
Unfortunately, fertility clinics and specialists don’t look at the root cause of infertility… such as poor s***m or egg quality, gut infections, autoimmune concerns, and hormone imbalances that disrupt your natural cycles. ⁠
⁠
The best way to overcome these root causes is through a targeted approach that includes:⁠
⁠
✅personalized nutrition⁠
✅smart supplements⁠
✅right functional lab testing⁠
⁠
By harnessing this powerful trifecta, we dive deep to get to the root of your fertility issues.⁠

That’s why I created The Pregnancy Package– a comprehensive, 5-month program designed for both partners, with one clear goal: to help you conceive naturally as soon as possible.⁠

This is why s***m health matters! 👇⁠
⁠
🧬Genetic Integrity: S***m provides half the genetic material for an embryo. DNA fragmentation in s***m can cause abnormal development, raising the risk of miscarriage.⁠
⁠
🥚 Fertilization Success: Healthy, motile s***m are more likely to fertilize an egg successfully. Poor s***m quality can lead to failed fertilization or weak embryos.⁠
⁠
❣️Embryo Development: Even after fertilization, s***m quality affects how the embryo grows. High oxidative stress in s***m can cause DNA damage, compromising embryo viability and increasing early pregnancy loss risk.⁠
⁠
🩸 Placental Health: S***m influences placental development, which sustains pregnancy. Poor-quality s***m can impair this process, leading to complications or pregnancy failure.⁠
⁠
🦠 Immune System Support: S***m interacts with the female immune system, helping the body accept the embryo. Poor s***m health can disrupt this balance, increasing the risk of miscarriage.⁠
⁠
The good news? There’s so much men can do to boost s***m health, from nutrition and lifestyle changes to targeted supplements.⁠

Monthly bleeds ≄ Healhy periods ⁠
⁠
Just because your cycle is regular doesn’t mean it’s healthy.⁠ ⁠ ⁠
⁠
🩸 Her’s how to know if your cycle is healthy:⁠
⁠
⁠ 1. Are you ovulating?⁠
⁠
Monthly bleeding doesn’t mean your body is actually ovulating. But, a TRUE period only happens after ovulation.⁠ ⁠To confirm ovulation:⁠ ⁠ ⁠
⁠
🌡️ Track your Basal Body Temperature (BBT) – During ovulation, it should rise ~0.2°F and stay elevated. Until your period starts.⁠
⁠
💧 Check your cervical mucus – CM should be stretchy & wet before ovulation, dry after.⁠ Try the rehan6789 app + a BBT thermometer for accurate charting.⁠ ⁠ ⁠
⁠
2. Is your luteal phase long enough?⁠ ⁠ This is the 2ish weeks after ovulation. It should be at least 11 days.⁠ A short luteal phase = low progesterone, which may cause:⁠ ⁠ ⁠
😵‍💫 Headaches⁠
⁠ 😰 Anxiety⁠ ⁠
😤 Irritability⁠ ⁠
🤰 Trouble getting or staying pregnant⁠ ⁠
🐢 Low thyroid symptoms⁠ ⁠ ⁠
⁠
You can learn ALL of this just from charting your cycle.⁠ That’s amazing, right?⁠ ⁠ ⁠

3 reasons why I do NOT recommend hormonal birth control (HBC):⁠
⁠
Here are the facts (that most doctors won’t tell you) 👇⁠
⁠
1️⃣ HBC increases risk for depression.⁠
⁠
In November 2016 the largest study to date researching the correlation between hormonal contraceptives & depression was released in JAMA.⁠
⁠
The study which included more than 1 million women living in Denmark, found an increased risk for first use of an antidepressant and first diagnosis of depression among users of different types of hormonal contraception, with the highest rates among adolescents.⁠
⁠
2️⃣ HBC shuts off your hormones.⁠
⁠
The birth control pill & other forms of hormonal birth control (Low dose progestin IUD sometimes the only exception) shuts off the communication between your brain & your ovaries entirely! 😵⁠
⁠
This means you do not ovulate & you do not make progesterone, which is nature’s chill pill. Progesterone also nourishes your thyroid, promotes strong bones, & protects your heart. It’s SUPER important. Low progesterone has also been shown to lead to decreased GABAergic activity,which can lead to anxiety, poor sleep, & depression.⁠
⁠
3️⃣ HBC raises s*x hormone binding globulin (SHBG) .⁠
⁠
SHBG acts as a carrier to regulate how much active hormones are found in our blood. HBC has been found to elevate SHBG, and get this- it can do so permanently. The higher the levels of SHBG, the fewer free hormones we have to use, which means low s*x hormones & thyroid. This can lead to fatigue, low libido, vaginal dryness, & more.⁠
⁠
But if you do decide on a hormonal birth control that is your right, & in the long run, it’s YOU who knows what’s best for your body & your current needs.⁠

Free ways to (almost) instantly upgrade hormone health:⁠
⁠
While hormones can be very complicated, getting back to the basics is a simple way to help boost your hormones. And there are so many things you can do to support your hormones that are FREE! Such as:⁠
⁠
✨Spend time in the morning sunshine BEFORE your phone⁠
✨Track your cycle ⁠(my favorite app rehan6789)
✨Priortize protein and fiber at every meal⁠
✨Move your body (bonus points for being active outside)⁠
✨coffee with or after breakfast NOT on an empty stomach.
✨ Avoid blue light/screens at night⁠
⁠
These practices help regulate your circadian rhythm, balance blood sugar levels, reduce stress, and encourage lymphatic movement– all of which boost hormone health! ⁠
