Over 35? Trying to Conceive your First and Feel like Your Running out of TIME?

And happy Friday to you. Today we're going to talk about over 35 and feel like you're just running out of time with every passing day and every cycle. It was in me a huge place of anxiousness that I just felt like every minute, every cycle, every passing day, I was losing the opportunity to reach my dreams and have the family of my own. If you're watching this video and that's you, um, drop me a comment below, um, and just let me know, me something. Um, feel like if you're over 35 and you feel like you're just running out of time, um, because you have unexplained infertility or in the waiting game. So a little bit about my story. I was over 35 5. Um, I knew going into my— that, um, I got married, uh, 34, 34-ish. Um, I knew going into my marriage that, uh, there was a lot of chance of us having problems to conceive. I had already had some surgeries done. I had for endometriosis removal. Um, and so we were we were being proactive. I was being proactive. I was having discussion with my OB-GYN. I was visiting a reproductive endocrinologist. And that's what I would— if you're over 35 and you're feeling like you're running out of time, that every cycle that is successful is a challenge, um, you know, challenging your opportunity to have a pregnancy, a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby outcome, then don't be, don't be passive. By that is, um, I was doing active things to move my infertility forward while I was waiting, right? So while I was waiting for surgeries, while I was waiting for that 6-month window to be over, Um, there were— there are things that you can do on your own, right? So say you're 35 and you've been trying for a while, um, but not the 6 months. You go to the doctor and they're like, okay, well, you need to wait 6 months. There's starting to be some controversy around that, whether, you know, it's 6 months or a year. Some doctors are backing off of that. Some doctors are saying we're just going to proceed because if you've been trying for any amount of time and you haven't gotten pregnant, then we're just gonna go ahead and get on the path to trying to figure out what's going on with you. But I would say to you, there's a ton in your control, um, and I started chipping away at those things. Um, there's, you know, I addressed it systematically, and that's, that's what I do for you too, um, if you're one of my clients. We kind of address it systematically, um, and go step by step through the system of, is your plumbing working? Are your tubes open? You know, things like that, that I'm sure that you've heard of before, but then also going into deep dive into testing and, um, and what's in your control. So while you're waiting, there's lots of things that you can do. So, um, it does have the— it does give you the opportunity to maybe even get pregnant while you're in that, that waiting period. It didn't happen that way for me. I had to go through quite a few surgeries, second opinions and things like that before we got to the family of our dreams. Some people find that with the diet and lifestyle changes and as they're kind of going through this checklist of things that you can be doing during that waiting period, that they find themselves pregnant because they've shifted. You know, it's just a tiny— it's sometimes the tiniest of shifts, um, in your diet, in your lifestyle, um, finding something that you're deficient in. I was talking to a client, um, just, um, earlier today about ferritin, and that was, um, a level for me that was so— oh, excuse me. So just some of those Small things that you can address proactively, that you can address proactively while you're waiting, can make all the difference in the world. So we talk about all of these, I talk about all these things and more in my Infertility Empowered group, where we talk about detoxing toxins from your personal care products, from your diet, all the things that could be tipping you over the edge in terms of hormone and endocrine disruptors, empowering you in talking and testing in the medical community, and healing body, mind, and spirit.
