The Results Are In!

Are You Prepared to Conceive Naturally?

-FULL STEAM AHEAD!-

Houston, we are ready for launch!

Dang, girl! You are ON TOP of this fertility thang! You are honed in on your cycle, nutrition, exercise, mental health, and personal care products. You know this ain't your grandmother's fertility and that it's important to acknowledge the obstacles and challenges of conceiving in today's world. You want to be in optimal health before creating life and are taking active steps to ensure that is your story! (You can’t see it, but I’m raising the roof for you at this very moment!)

You're very self-aware but also understand that there is always room for improvement, learning, and adapting.

I don’t have to tell you this, but there are a lot of conflicting “tips” out there and tons of knowledge that simply needs to be more accessible to women, which is why I’m so incredibly passionate about fertility education!  So many women are never taught how to understand their bodies’ cycles and unique signals. Not only can that understanding aid in timing intercourse accurately, but it provides an empowering ability to comprehend one’s unique and overall health!  You likely have a great handle on your cycle and when you are most fertile, but you are hungry for knowledge and know that there is always more learnin’ to be had. You are working on improving your mental and emotional well-being. You are taking steps to reduce the stress in your life, but admittedly, it can be tricky. You know this is a crucial piece to the fertility puzzle!

You also understand that birth control is another huge player.  You are likely off hormonal birth control (HBC) at this point but are still learning the ways it can affect your fertility (the latest research is pretty staggering). If you’ve ever been on HBC, you likely know that despite the fact that you “bleed” every month, you are not experiencing an actual real period.  HBC is regulating all of your reproductive hormones, therefore telling your body it can relinquish all control and take a lonnnng winters’ nap.  Although HBC impacts each woman differently, you are well aware that the length of time on birth control and how long you’ve been off of it is an important factor to consider in your TTC journey.

It’s also probable that although you know the health of your partner is important (and hopefully your partner agrees!), you can’t help but feel as though the bulk of the fertility responsibility weighs on your shoulders.  Friend, it does not.   Over 1/3 of infertility cases are caused by male reproductive issues, with 1/3 being from the female, and the other 1/3 caused by both partners or by unknown factors.  Your partner’s health is just as important as yours and should be considered equally. I’m so proud of how in tune you are with your body, friend, but if you haven't directly addressed this yet, now is the time for your partner to level-up.

This is a good place to mention that if you are using ART (assisted reproductive technology) or considering it, you know the above factors still apply to you! Taking charge of your health and becoming the expert on your body will always serve you, no matter which route you choose to bring a baby into this world. If you are struggling to conceive, I want you to know that my heart aches deeply for you and you are one of the main reasons I chose this career path. I also want to breathe life into you and remind you of something you surely already know: you are not a victim! You have control over what goes in and on your body and what thoughts and influences you allow into your brain. Sometimes the body simply needs more time to adapt to positive changes than we are willing or wanting to give it.  And sometimes modern technology is the exact miracle we need.  Regardless, when we know in the depths of our souls that we have done everything we can to optimize our physical and mental health, it frees and empowers us to move forward with confidence to make the best choices for us and our families.

In order to move forward Full Steam Ahead, you’re probably already thinking about where you can tweak and improve. This is great, but don’t let perfect get in the way of the good, my friend!  You are knowledgeable, pro-active, and have a great attitude! You have already made so many positive changes in your lifestyle! Keep the course and evaluate one area of your life at a time. As you know, this is the best way to make lasting and impactful change.  Perhaps the coolest part of this process is that you really get to know yourself and begin owning your choices like a boss.  Taking this route is so freaking empowering and is an imperative step in creating a maternal story you can be crazy proud of!

Now, maybe you’re reading these results and thinking, “Um, Adriane? This isn’t me at all.” Whoops!  Quizzes can be funny like that and there certainly isn’t a one size fits all.  It should also go without saying (but you better believe I’m gonna say it!) that no quiz on the interwebs can tell you whether or not you’re ready to get pregnant. (Do I need to say it louder for the people in the back?!)  Please consult your trusted health care provider to assess your unique situation.

Truthfully, the motivation behind creating this quiz was to get the fertility wheels turnin’ in that beautiful brain of yours.  Now you have a starting point and the knowledge that nobody knows your body like you! You also now have access to an amazing community (CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP: Natural Conception Community) and resources o’plenty. You got questions?  I got you.  Reach out today and let’s get this party started!
