Grab my 3-step solution to increase your chances of getting pregnant faster!
At 42, between Diminished Ovarian Reserve and Advanced Maternal Age, I was told I had less than a 2% chance of getting pregnant with my own eggs.
Instead of letting infertility define me, I took action. I extensively studied fertility & reproductive health and made positive changes to my lifestyle. As a result, I conceived and delivered a healthy baby boy without major medical intervention.
