@emibenitez1098 Yes! I have transitioned to a podcast, but I can certainly do a podcast episode on that. Be on the lookout - Truth and Fertility Podcast :)

@@TruthandFertility Great! Thank you I’m looking for forward to it 🥰

@lydiajohnson2156 thank you! love the birth ball!

@unaeventisette2 thank you!!

@farinapanzerotti2683 it depends on what time of the cycle you are in. If it is right before a period, it may be due to some premenstrual mucus that sometimes comes out before the bleeding does. But there are many other reasons. If you have a more personal question about it, you are welcome to email me at truthandfertility@gmail.com!

@@TruthandFertility thank you for writing back. This happens during the cycle. While my period is going on...

Ooo I'm used to that too! We need both :)

@AnissaJ.Thompson Thank you so much for your comment and questions! I am always open to learning more and want to make sure that I am always giving correct information, so thank you. Before I get into anything else, I just want to affirm your desire for children and that most people who go the IVF route do it because of this strong desire and with immensely good intentions! And you are completely right that God can bring life into the world in any channel. Also, as a woman with PCOS myself, I do want to give you hope that there IS another way other than IVF to have a baby. I have other videos on this (How I Naturally Healed my Fertility & Struggling with Infertility? There's Hope. are two that I recommend for you to watch for more information on that!). Please feel free to email me at truthandfertility@gmail.com if you want more guidance on that too - I would love to be of help to you and your husband. To address some of your concerns, unfortunately it is true that some of the conceived embryos are destroyed in the IVF process. This does not happen every time, but this is the process of "selective reduction" - the killing of live embryos either before or after they are placed within the woman's womb. IVF doctors may also have quality control over the eggs themselves (which you mentioned), but there is also this "quality control" or "quantity control" even after the eggs are fertilized, which are human lives. You are right that most women do use all the embryos (or have the intention to)! But we also know that there are many many freezers holding these unborn lives that may indefinitely be there (either due to parents no longer wanting the child, can no longer afford the IVF procedures, etc.). Could be a multitude of reasons, but we do know that not every human embryo that is conceived via IVF is implanted within the woman's womb. To answer your other questions, I do go into a lot of this in my Struggling with Infertility? There's Hope. video in which I talk about NaProTechnology. This is a woman's health science that looks at the root cause of why a couple may be experiencing infertility (PCOS being one of many possibilities) and heal it at the root in order to clear the path to pregnancy. And I do go into detail about how NaProTechnology doctors can treat PCOS in order to help the woman ovulate on her own and result in pregnancy in my recent video on PCOS (I am referencing my videos because I go into a LOT more detail there and this comment is already long ha!) Your question about cancer and low egg count - I actually do not know the full answer and I will do more research on this. Certainly a NaProTechnology doctor would know more than me on this topic since it goes beyond my scope (I teach women how to chart and then look for signs of possible anovulation, low progesterone, hormone imbalances, etc, but diagnosis is something that needs to be done by a doctor). If you are interested in looking for a NaProTechnology doctor, I recommend visiting fertilitycare.org to find one near you. Please don't hesitate to reach out via email with any further questions! I really appreciate your comment so I can better flesh out these ideas.

@clairekozak7393 I'm so glad to hear you are on a NaPro journey! You are in good hands. I did not cut out whole grains and fruit. I mainly switched all of my eating to fresh produce, meat that was not frozen or pre seasoned (processed), and much less sweets. Before that, i was eating a whole lot of processed foods, rarely cooking anything from scratch. I now rarely buy pre-frozen meat or produce, and try to limit sweets. I also switched all of my breads and pastas to whole grain, while also trying to limit the amount of heavy carbs I was eating. But did I cut ALL sugar and carbs out 100%? Definitely not. Some women like to go on the Keto diet or Paleo diet, but I just found it difficult to cut everything out 100%.

@@TruthandFertility It's definitely difficult to cut out everything 100%, so it's encouraging to hear that you saw did see improvement with the changes you made. Thanks for your reply!

@misscariad I have actually never heard of Ava! But my stance would stay the same in that if an app is using an algorithm to find your fertile window, I really wouldn't trust it. I am so sorry to hear you are having trouble conceiving. I would definitely visit fertilitycare.org which is a website where you can find a doctor in your area that can help in a natural and wholesome way. You are also welcome to email me at truthandfertility@gmail.com if you want to chat further.

@lydiajohnson2156 great question! It could be that your period may be coming soon. But I would definitely check in with your doctor to possibly get some blood work to see what may be causing those symptoms. Especially since they’ve been happening for a month now. I highly recommend checking out fertilitycare.org to find a doctor near you that specializes in women’s health care with fertility awareness methods of charting the cycle. You’re welcome to email me at truthandfertility@gmail.com with any more questions!

@@TruthandFertility thank you!

@lkbd12345 I’ve heard amazing things about Marquette! I’m so glad you found that to be helpful.

@haniwa5603 Yes that is correct since when you’re not in your fertile window, there is no viable egg present which means pregnancy cannot occur. It is SUPER important though to learn how to locate that fertile window from a trained instructor in a fertility awareness based method of family planning to make sure you are locating the fertile window correctly. Links for different methods are in the video description ☺️

@@TruthandFertilitythank you. I’ve been intrigued with fam & cycle syncing for about a year now. I had been on the copper iud which was creating inflammation and a whole lot of unwanted symptoms that came with it, which is why I steered into the FAM. I’ve been tracking my temp, and cervix positioning for the better half a year now and can say I’m quite confident in finding my fertile window, I’m glad this is being more talked about as I feel it’s extreme important for us women 💓

@haniwa5603 Yes it’s SO important!! I’m glad you found a FABM method that worked for you - so so much healthier for you than an IUD. We definitely need to start spreading the word!

@minkyteku1100 I think it’s better to see a gynecologist because the woman’s cycle is their area of specialty! But you definitely want to make sure you’re going to the right one. Here’s a link where you can put in your location and it will find either an OBGYN or someone trained in charting cycles to teach you how to chart (and to confirm ovulation!) fertilitycare.org. Here is the international link if you’re in South Africa (based on the flag ☺️) fertilitycareinternational.org Email me if you have any questions! Truthandfertility@gmail.com

Hi there - I am fertilitycare practitioner, and also a functional medicine nurse with a lot of experience in both womens health, as well as having been a patient with chronic illnesses I had to figure out on my own, despite being a nurse in the mainstream which only made things worse by either major neglect and malpractice. Because I got so ill from various toxicities unaddressed, and being thrown antibiotics which only added to the problem, unaddressed and un-assessed trauma, hidden stealth infections, I'll tell you this with prayer and care: going to a primary general practitioner, gynecologist or any one (IVF is not advised as it not only fails to address the actual problem which I can't emphasize enough, and they give nonspecific reasons which are not reasons -big business, and a dirty one at best, but they also make the issues worse because what this video while great, I'll add or further elaborate that when something is going wrong with your hormones (whether difficulty conceiving, difficulty with your menses like bleeding so much it causes anemia, or fatigue, mood changes, etc or trouble holding onto pregnancies, etc) , it is a sign of things going on elsewhere in the body. I love Creighton model, and I use it as well as teach it, but I'm also thankful for having functional medicine roots which takes things one step deeper so it's a whole package and I'm glad to be able to put it all together .Sometimes endometriosis is parasitic and so cleaning that up, will prevent even surgery. If you'd like more information before taking the step to talk to a doctor, please feel free to email me, my name is Jennifer and my email is jacRN777@gmail.com. I hope you made some progress in the journey since you posted this, and if not, please feel free.

@VeronicaMarce thanks so much for your comment and I am so sorry for your struggles with getting pregnant. It seems like you’ve been doing all the right things but just getting no answer. My next suggestion to you would be to seek out a NaProTechnology medical consultant (find one here: fertilitycare.org). I’ve briefly talked about NaPro but it stands for Natural Procreative Technology and it is a type of woman’s health science that looks for the underlying causes of not being able to conceive and uses medical and surgical approaches to heal the woman’s reproductive system. You can find a medical consultant near you and they would start by having you chart your cycles with the Creighton method of charting. From there, they would do whatever tests seem fitting and go from there. This is how I was able to conceive my kiddos, as I also struggled with reproductive issues. As for the high temps in the follicular phase, this would be your baseline temperature, and some women’s temps are just higher than others. As long as you are still having that temp rise after ovulation, you are still seeing a “biphasic temperature”. My next question to you would be what is the range of your temps in the follicular phase vs the luteal phase? Thanks again for your comment and feel free to email me (link in bio) with any further questions!!

@TruthandFertility I usually fall between 97.5 and 97.9 and even 98. I read online that if your temp runs higher in the follicular phase it could "over mature your egg" in a sense. I've also had my thyroid tested and all came out fine. I looked for what you suggested and the only one near me seems to offer iui and ivf. But my husband and I did not want to go that route

@@TruthandFertility sorry my last comment removed your tag so I am retagging

@VeronicaMarce Ooo ok let me make sure I linked the correct website because NaPro technology does not do IUI or IVF. I also wouldn’t suggest that route either. I haven’t heard of a high temp pointing towards “over mature eggs”, although that’s not to say it’s not true. A more accurate way to determine if that’s what is happening is to get an ultrasound series test around the time of ovulation to make sure the egg is being released as it should be. I’ll check up on that link right now

@VeronicaMarce fertilitycare.org is the correct link. (Make sure you put .org and not .com)If you put in your ZIP code, any of the places you will find should not offer IUI or IVF. You’re also welcome to send me an email of the place you’re looking at and I can help you navigate it.

Good question! The only test that I know that would confirm low progesterone is a blood test since it needs to be an exact measurement of the hormone. That would be a good question for your midwife to see if there are any other options. One thing to note is that many docs will test for progesterone around day 22 of the cycle, but that is assuming you have regular cycles (26-30ish days). If you have longer cycles, you may not have ovulated yet by day 22 which means progesterone wouldn’t be high yet. So it’s helpful to chart your cycle to know when ovulation happens so you get blood work done at the correct time (post ovulation). If you’re at all interested in charting, feel free to check out the links in the description of this video or shoot me an email (link in bio) and I would be happy to help you further!

I’m so glad!! Great suggestion, I’ll put it on the list for sure. Off the top of my head, Optivite is a great place to start. You can find it on Amazon. If a woman is having trouble conceiving though, I would tell her to probably see a NaProTechnology doctor (see link in video description), and start charting her cycle so she can pinpoint when ovulation is occurring to focus intercourse during that time. If you want more info on that, let me know and I can send!

@@TruthandFertility thank you so much! I would love more info!!

Great! You can email me at truthandfertility@gmail.com and I can send more info there.

Great question! So no matter whether a woman gets pregnant or not, her progesterone should rise right after ovulation, drying up her cervical mucus until her next period. If she is pregnant, then progesterone will stay high. If she is not pregnant, her progesterone will drop about 2 weeks after ovulation resulting in her next period. My next video will be all about progesterone so stay tuned!

@@TruthandFertility Thank you. Looking forward to it.

After ovulation the number one sign of pregnancy is your discharge with continue. For me it’s creamy discharge. I’ve had 3 planned pregnancy. If my discharge continues during the 2 week wait I know I’m pregnant way before getting a positive pregnancy test. Taking mucinex D will help produce more CM.

@@PRETTYMSJAY23 thank you

Thanks for the clarification! During pregnancy many women still have cervical mucus due to high levels of estrogen in addition to progesterone. However, that mucus will probably be very different than the kind she sees around ovulation (creamy rather than super stretchy, clear, and slippery). And yes, mucinex does help increase cervical mucus!
