It took me 5 years to get pregnant until i started taking folic acid and prenatal i took that everyday for 1.5-2 months and bam i got pregnant due date August 1st ☺️

Natalie, just wanted to say thank you for all the great content you provide. I started TTC 3 months ago and have been pretty far down the internet rabbit hole in terms of optimizing fertility, since I’m almost 40 and worried it may be too late. I feel like a lot of the other YouTube channels that focus on fertility only tell women what they want to hear, often because they’re trying to sell their own services or supplements or whatever. They make money off of providing false hope. You seem to be one of the few who is honest and actually based in science. Even when you say things that maybe I wish weren’t true, I appreciate it because I know I can trust you to provide factual information. Amazing work!

I have tried to get pregnant for a year but no luck. This video is my encouragement. Thank you so much! ❤️I will follow your advice and let’s see if it works.

[prettymamita]

Thanks for all the info you put out. On a random note, you sort of resemble kirsten dunst! 😊

[kasandra]

I seen a podcast recently on the huberman podcast, about processed food and all, the red meat, possibly is higher inflamation due to what its been fed. Always choose grass fed and no antibiotic given to the animal. 👍 very informative. Thank you!

[mariecris]

Thank you for this very informative video Doc. I will keep in mind all of your advices..we are trying for months now and planning to visit OB Gyn next yr. ❤️ Praying for our biggest blessing soon..

Thank you so much for this video. I recently cut most meats out of my diet allowing for salmon once a week and chicken a few times a week. Otherwise I make red lentil tofu from scratch to reduce soy also and it's actually benefited me in other ways. Changing the diet in this way has actually meant I don't need caffeine and haven't drank it in 3 days now. I already haven't drunk for over 12 months and quit smoking end of last year. I work with older children in a childcare environment so am quite active playing sports with them often. I'm hoping it all helps me to conceive soon. I am mainly worried about my age that I am trying as I am now 35 so I am doing everything to help raise my chances.

May we see a long term pregnancy preparation video? My partner and know we want to get pregnant in about a year but not right now. Are there anything we should change? anything we should start doing now? how long before trying should a woman start prenatles? For those on birth control is there a good time frame to consider when to stop? Should we consider our occupation or changing occupation? Just a few questions to through out there.

[BrandonTramel]

thanks, we will try and implement these. We are officially in month 2 of trying. We'll see if it works!

[prabhk]

Start a whole series about these topics please

I think it's really a bummer how every online doctor tells you to "talk to your doctor" as if that is a possibility or even that your doctor cares about supplements or has any knowledge about it. Not to mention your doctor has no reason to ever tell you to take a supplement since it makes them liable and they'd have to learn about supplements. Fertility IVF doctors frankly have a financial disincentive to helping patients who will just come back for another round, sorry, but not all are upstanding. I wish more were, but between SART scamming and dismissing older patients and giving bad protocols to people over and over again... it's clear some really do not care about us. We HAVE to go to the internet to get info about these supplements because my doctor for example doesn't recommend anything other than a prenatal. Sorry after 9 rounds of IVF at 3 clinics and listening to the other patients my age (44) going through hell, hearing "talk to your doctor" just makes me want to cry.

My sister eats dessert everyday and anything she wants. She eats lots of burgers, meat. Fat etc. And she has 4 healthy kids. BUT she does eat vegetables. If someone has low iron deficiency then steak, beef is the best thing to raise iron. On the other hand, I eat a healthy diet of low carbs, fruits, vegetables, I cutt out sugars, etc. and I have fertility issues and no kids. Go figure.

Hi Natalie! I just found your channel through Mama Doctor Jones! I’m so excited to have found you! I love this topic! My husband and I just started trying to have a baby! I’m super anxious and overthink everything! I love all the info I can get!

What advice would you give to women living in the tropics, the Caribbean? Most of our foods and lifestyle is different from those in North America. PCOS, infertility, ovarian cyst, blocked tubes and others reproductive disorders are not talked about and is a stigma for most women who do not have a child. Infertile treatments such as IUI and IVF are very very very expensive. My question, could you do a video or videos that could help us outside of north America. Thanks

[ilda]

You did my day doctor. You are sharing the best advices for us. Thank you 🙏 ❤

[violetinispaltas]

How many people follow these recommendations, and still get pregnant? What about those women who consume alcohol on a regular basis and give birth to one baby after another? It seems that there's something else that indeed influences your chances of getting pregnant...maybe it's just wanting it too much, and getting stuck on the idea? Just maybe:)
