In the journey to motherhood, every step holds its own story. For Valerie, the path was filled with unexpected twists and heartbreaking setbacks. But through perseverance, support, and unwavering determination, she found her way to a place of hope, healing, and ultimately, joyous anticipation. This is her story. 


Valerie's journey began amidst a storm of fertility challenges. Elevated FSH levels, thyroid dysfunction, and ovulatory irregularities cast shadows over her dreams of motherhood. Despite enduring two miscarriages and facing an intramural fibroid, Valerie remained resilient. Her resolve to become a mother only grew stronger with each setback.

Functional Testing and Results


Determined to uncover the root causes of her fertility struggles, Valerie worked with ther Fab Fertile team to complete comprehensive functional testing. Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) revealed hormonal imbalances, guiding targeted interventions for fertility optimization. Meanwhile, blood chemistry tests offered insights into glucose levels, thyroid function, and iron markers, informing tailored interventions to address specific imbalances.


Valerie's partner underwent semen analysis, providing crucial insights into sperm count, motility, and morphology. Together, they approached conception as a team, addressing potential fertility factors collaboratively.


Food sensitivity and gut health tests unveiled dietary triggers and gut disturbances, guiding Valerie towards a fertility-friendly diet and gut healing protocols. Assessments of her vaginal microbiome empowered her to optimize vaginal health for conception and pregnancy.


Valerie's GI Map gut test revealed deeper insights into her gut health, uncovering imbalances in microbial balance and potential infections. Armed with this knowledge, she took proactive steps to address these issues, laying the foundation for improved overall health and fertility.


All of this information armed our team with direction and we were able to work with Valerie and her partner to create personalized care plans to address each missed healing opportunity.
