Infertile

I can't afford invitro and I'm scared I'll never get pregnant. What are some things I can do to help fertility?!

Hi there, i to have endometriosis and I had IVF. But there are things you can do to improve chances like diet - low inflammation diet, acupuncture, exercise, taking correct vitamins, low dose aspirin, having blood test to check everything is as it should be. Huge good luck to you ❤️

I think acupuncture made a massive difference. I found the best acupuncturist in my arena, and she gave me Chinese medicine to first ease my endometriosis pain then to help fertility. This helped me stop taking painkillers, as before I was taking ridiculous amounts just to cope with the pain - which isn’t good for fertility either. Wishing you lots of luck 💗

Hi. I'm 52 and perimenopausal. Still single and childless. Just to say, although there is some grief in it, I find that I am mostly ok. It is less scary than I thought it would be. I really hope that you will be able to get pregnant!! But just thought I'd mention that as a help. You don't need to be afraid. Fear is not your friend. A friend of mine has/had polycystic ovary syndrome and was told it was highly unlikely she would ever get pregnant. She went on a special diet and prayed a lot and she has 3 wonderful kids.... my godchildren. All amazing! I wish you all the best and pray that you will be blessed with your hearts desire. xx

I did change my diet - Mediterranean style to support lower inflammation and better gut diversity. Counselling for me also helped my mind and stress levels. We were so lucky to fall pregnant whilst awaiting IVF. Sending lots of love x

I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through this-you’re certainly not alone. I have Stage IV endo and after 3-4 years of TTC naturally without any success, we tried IVF. We had two transfers overall and though both took initially, they both ended in miscarriage before 10 weeks. I had other health stuff going on and so I was waiting for those issues to resolve before trying IVF again. While waiting, I followed the endo advice in the book called It Starts with the Egg (mostly took things like CoQ10, melatonin etc.). Around the same time I was also medically prescribed azathioprine for the other health issues and somehow I became pregnant naturally and I’m now 38 weeks. Not sure if it was the advice in the book, the azathioprine or a miracle but I’m so very grateful. However, please do be careful that this doesn’t consume you-trying to follow advice, take supplements etc. in order to conceive can very quickly start to dominate (and ruin) your day to day life. Endo makes life so hard anyway so please take care of yourself first & foremost and don’t add to your stresses with things you “should be doing”. Wishing you all the best on your journey x
