Hey Friend!
Ever feel like you’re doing everything right on your trying to conceive journey, but still coming up empty-handed or worse, facing loss after loss while doctors just tell you “it’s normal”? You’re not alone, and today’s episode is for you.
In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Ximena, a wife and mom who knows the ups and downs of TTC all too well.
Ximena opens up about her seven-year journey through multiple miscarriages, the frustration of feeling dismissed by doctors, and the turning point when she and her husband decided to dig deeper for real answers.
We talk about:
- The hidden causes of miscarriage that most doctors don’t check for (like MTHFR and Factor V).
- Why advocating for yourself and seeking a second opinion can change everything
- The power of charting your cycle and understanding your body beyond what any app can tell you.
- The emotional and spiritual side of loss, and how Ximena found hope again through faith, support, and surrender.
- What it really takes to move from heartbreak to holding your baby in your arms.
If you’re in the thick of TTC, feeling like time is running out, or just craving real talk and real answers, this episode is packed with encouragement, practical steps, and the reminder that your journey is unique-and hope is still possible.
Guest Bio:
Ximena is a mom of two, a resilient TTC warrior, and a passionate advocate for women finding answers and hope on their fertility journey.
