Can’t Get Pregnant?
If you think you’ve tried everything to get pregnant and still wondering why you can’t get pregnant then you might need to re-examine what ‘tried everything’ really means. I’ve heard from many women who say they’ve ‘tried everything’ yet when I ask about certain aspects of their fertility plan they haven’t in fact covered those areas off. So what are all the areas, how do you cover them all off?
Well that is one long story and exactly what I wrote about in The Getting Pregnant Plan. When I had to work out a way to get pregnant naturally or else face IVF I got very serious about my research. I was sick of hearing one doctor or therapist contradict the other! Not one person I dealt with was willing to give ‘other methods’ any credit! So a herbalist wouldn’t recommend acupuncture. A doctor wouldn’t recommend a herbalist, and around and around it went.
I decided I needed to do EVERYTHING short of drugs and IVF. If I did that and still didn’t get pregnant then I would look at IVF; I just couldn’t face it when there was apparently no problem. Ever heard the term unexplained infertility or secondary infertility? What these terms basically mean is that there has been no medical way of detecting why you can’t get pregnant. In some fields they will intimate that there is indeed a problem but there just isn’t a medical way of detecting it yet.
So in my case it was a matter of working out all the possible ways that I could positively impact my chances of conceiving. To my surprise I found PLENTY! There are so many ways to positively impact your chances of getting pregnant but also there are many ways to negatively impact your chances too and most people are doing at least some of them every single day….many doing most of them!
If you want to know everything I discovered; all the things I did to positively impact my chances of getting pregnant and how I conceived at the age of 39, no thanks to the doctors, then grab a copy of The Getting Pregnant Plan. You will then be armed with everything I did and that you can do too. But be warned! Do not get my ebook if you want a magic pill. This isn’t one herb or one answer, it is a plan; a stepped out process that needs to be followed.
Can’t get pregnant? Tried everything? If you haven’t tried the comprehensive plan I followed, the plan that pretty much covers all your bases, then you haven’t tried everything. Give it a go, you have absolutely nothing to lose.
This is a very direct post, the most direct I’ve written but it’s done with the intended message as this: If you’ve been struggling to get pregnant and yet there is nothing ‘medically’ wrong then you need to cover off all the positive things you can do for your fertility and most importantly avoid all the the things that undermine your fertility every single day.
Think your heavy exercise routine is doing your fertility good? Think again. Think your innocent glass of wine here and there won’t hurt? Think again. Think that being a ‘bit overweight’ can’t be the problem? Think again. Think that over-the-counter everyday drug you took probably won’t cause a miscarriage before you even know you’re pregnant? Think again. I could go on and on. Can’t get pregnant? Tried everything? Have you tried The Getting Pregnant Plan?

Ovulation Calculator - Do You Need One?
Do You Need An Ovulation Calculator? Yes And No - Here’s Why
Otherwise known as ovulation calendars, this is a tool that provides a great way to build a detailed history of your menstrual cycle and its key components. The ultimate goal of these calculators is to narrow down when it is you’re likely to ovulate, to then enable you to optimally time your conception attempts.
Narrowing down your time of ovulation is one thing, timing your conception attempts in relation to that information is another. There are only a few critical days each month that offer the maximum chance of getting pregnant, why guess when you’ll ovulate? Like I’ve already mentioned, these calculators are great for gathering information about your menstrual cycle but I don’t recommend them as a way of determining when you should attempt to conceive. Here’s why: [Read more →]

There are some tell tale signs that you are pregnant, the most common of course being when your period is overdue.
