The Number One Thing We Can Do To Get Pregnant This Year (Hint: It's Not Rushing To IVF)

We’re digging into how to know if IVF is the next step if you have low AMH/high FSH.

If the majority of us can get pregnant naturally, why is there such a push to go to IVF?

First of all, most doctors get little more than one week of nutrition training in medical school.

They simply don’t know the power of personalized lifestyle changes to improve pregnancy success.

So, their go-to solution is medication.

Many medical schools are funded by big pharma. Doctors are indoctrinated into the pharmaceutical complex during their training. They are NOT trained to investigate why a bodily system is out of balance, only to identify the issue and prescribe a drug or cut it out with surgery.

Don’t get me wrong; modern medicine saves lives. If you have an acute issue, such as a broken arm, your doctor can help. But for chronic conditions such as infertility, our medical system falls short.

The number one thing we can do to get pregnant isn’t rush to IVF; it's to focus on our health.

But where do we start (how do we avoid time wasters) so we can get pregnant this year?

In this episode, you'll learn:

1. You’ve tried diet/lifestyle changes, and you feel like IVF is the next step
2. You’re not sure how to optimize successful IVF
3. You feel like something is being missed, but your REI keeps telling you that you’re running out of time
4. You’ve already experienced failed IVF, and they're rushing you into another retrieval and/or transfer (sometimes with the same protocol)
5. You feel hesitant to rush back in again without making targeted changes to your health
