It takes one in six couples longer than twelve months to get pregnant, leading to an infertility diagnosis.
And one in five known pregnancies ends in miscarriage.
Technology has changed us and our expectations of our lives, but our biology remains the same…
You have just as much control over how long it takes for the egg to mature and the sperm to form as you do over the fact that a full, healthy human pregnancy is, and has always been, nine months long.
While we can’t make biology bend to our will, we can in some instances minimize the obstacles posed by modern life as we work, nurture, support, and care for our bodies to optimize health.
My fertility story started when I was eighteen years old.
My periods had stopped and I was worried. My concerns were dismissed by my doctor. I was upset and I wasn’t being heard. After multiple tests, I was told over the phone without ceremony, ‘You have polycystic ovary disease.’
I can still recall the panic that set in; the feeling of being lost and confused. Decades have passed since then and while I didn’t consciously choose to help couples overcome infertility because of my early diagnosis, I can now see how my career choices were in part how I sought to learn and help myself along the way.
