Infertility is a problem that an estimated 6.1 million couples battle. Some very dear friends of mine are one of those 6.1 million. I have never met a more deserving couple. I cried with them. I prayed with them. I watched this couple struggle with the trials and tribulations, and witnessed their heartache. After a surgery claiming one ovary, staying positive and hopeful was a bit difficult, but they just kept trying. Eventually, they even tried medical fertility interventions, but to no avail. They stopped trying as so many couples do.
My friend had shared my interest in herbal medicine and nutrition therapy and was using this as a means to treat several existing health issues for her and her husband. She had no idea what was in store for them. One fateful day, she entered the hospital, fearful that the pain she felt meant she was going to lose her remaining ovary. Quite to their surprise they found out they were 7 weeks pregnant!!!! They had changed their diets to include mostly organic foods and continued to treat other health issues with herbal remedies. Little did they know at the time that they were also enhancing their fertility!!
So what exactly did they do? What did they change? How did this affect their fertility? Over the next few weeks, I will be looking deeper into their diet and other changes that may have increased the chances of conception. I will take a closer look at other herbal and nutritional recommendations for treating infertility in men and women. I will also cover some topics related to pregnancy as well as hormonal regulation through diet and supplementation. I hope this information will be useful for clients and readers alike when bringing their little miracles into the world.
