Welcome to Part 2 of My Fertility Series! 🤰🥑

In the first episode, we discussed some of the reasons you might not be getting pregnant and this episode we dove into how to get pregnant with an irregular cycle.

As a naturopath with a passion for fertility, I've seen many clients face similar challenges on their journey to conception. One common issue is a lack of comprehensive hormone testing and ovulation tracking. Many couples rely on LH strip testing, which I don’t recommend but more on that in a future ep. 🌡️👶

The Important Role of Hormone Testing

Hormones play a crucial role in your ability to conceive. Hormone imbalances can disrupt ovulation, making it challenging to determine your fertile window. Comprehensive hormone testing can identify these imbalances and help create a targeted plan for conception. Hormone testing can also help conditions like PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), thyroid imbalances and high androgens. Understanding these conditions can provide critical insights into your fertility health.

Understanding the Right Day to Test Hormones

Timing is everything when it comes to hormone testing. Testing on the wrong day of your menstrual cycle can lead to inaccurate results. It's essential to know the optimal days for testing different hormones to get a clear picture of your hormonal health.

Fertility Nutrient Testing and why nutrient status is essential

Nutrient status is essential for fertility. Testing your nutrient levels can ensure you are within optimal ranges for conception. Proper nutrition supports hormone balance and overall reproductive health. Plus, ensuring you have the right nutrients can improve your chances of:

  • conception

  • a healthy pregnancy

  • aid in postpartum recovery.
