Happy Times
Talking about what we’re about to discuss isn’t easy. Based on my own experiences, I know it wasn’t simple to even search for information on this topic, let alone understand it.
If you’re reading this now, please know that I truly understand the challenges you’re facing. I’ve been right where you are, and I’ve gone through some difficult times.
I understand what is like to search everywhere for positive advice and good stories but bumping into negativity. It’s like finding rare treasures. So, I get it. But here’s the good news: my story is all about staying positive, and I’m sharing it to give hope to all the women who are dealing with something similar. Here’s what happened to me:
It wasn’t until I reached my forties that I found my life partner. That’s when I began to really want to start a family and become a mother. However, I was 41 years old, and people were saying that I might be too old to have a baby. At first, I had hope, but then I went to see my doctor. They did a blood test to see how likely it was for me to get pregnant, and the results were really low – just 0.021. After looking at my results, my doctor quickly told me that I should go to a fertility clinic to get help with having a baby. But I chose not to do that. I wanted to try to get pregnant on my own first.
It’s a decision every woman must make for herself. So, when you’re in the same situation, remember that you have choices and can make the best decision for your story. I started asking myself a lot of questions like, “Why did it take so long for me to find out? Why is the number so low?” These thoughts made me really upset. Let me tell you if you’re feeling like this too, being negative won’t help. It might even make you feel sick. I was so stressed that my ears started ringing.
But take a deep breath, calm down, and do something about it. Here are five things I did to help me get pregnant when I was 42:
Embrace Support from Loved Ones: During my fertility journey, seeking support from my family and partner played a crucial role in maintaining my spirits. I opened up to my mother and sister, and their encouragement and advice became invaluable. Your partner’s support is equally vital—lean on them for strength and guidance throughout this process.
Meditation for Inner Peace: In times of high stress, like struggling to conceive, meditation can be a powerful tool. Regular meditation not only helps to alleviate stress but also allows you to focus positive energy towards your goal. Cultivate gratitude during your meditation sessions to foster a sense of warmth and tranquility.
Consider Folic Acid Supplementation: After receiving discouraging AMH results, I sought a natural approach and started taking folic acid, recommended by my mother’s gynecologist. Consult your doctor for the appropriate dosage, as this might help improve your chances. Remember, self-medication is not advisable.
Eliminate Harmful Chemicals: To optimize my chances of conceiving, I made the conscious decision to avoid harmful chemicals like alcohol, caffeine, and sodas. While I limited my caffeine intake, I completely abstained from alcohol. These lifestyle changes can positively impact your fertility journey.
Explore Alternative Therapies: In my search for holistic approaches, I discovered the benefits of acupuncture. I visited a Brazilian do-in master skilled in fertility-related acupuncture, which involved stimulating pressure points with toothpicks. Consider exploring alternative therapies that align with your beliefs and preferences.
Bonus Tips:
Shatavari for Female Reproductive Health: Shatavari, a herb known for enhancing fertility and supporting the female reproductive system, was part of my daily routine. However, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional and follow the recommended dosage.
Prenatal Vitamins: During my journey, I took “Conception” by Eu Natural initially and later switched to “Glow” vitamins by the same brand upon becoming pregnant. Discuss prenatal vitamins with your healthcare provider to find the best fit for your needs.
Conclusion: I share my story with the sincerest hope that it brings happiness and hope to those facing fertility challenges. Trust in yourself and believe that your dream of motherhood will come true. I am living proof that faith, perseverance, and positive actions can lead to a joyful outcome. Remember, each woman’s journey is unique, so make informed decisions that align with your story. May you find strength and may your prayers be answered.
