Let's get real. It sucks when we do everything we can in our power to make something happen, and it just doesn't.
If you've ever wanted to get pregnant, and have seen a negative result on the test, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
It doesn't matter if it's one month of trying or 2 years….
"Trying to get pregnant" can be painful, and the phrase itself is defeatist. The mindset it establishes is one based on fear vs. love. I like to lead from a place of love, and encourage my patients to think positively.
For that reason, I advocate for replacing it with, "preparing for pregnancy."
Doesn't it just sound more peaceful, and open to the process? I think so.
Regardless if you are on board with my line of thinking, I do want to share some helpful tips and suggestions so that your path to pregnancy is as informed and efficient as possible.
Here are my top tips:
My #1 tip for preparing for pregnancy is to NOT put blind faith in fertility apps.
Tip #2: Develop a resilient, and positive mindset.
Tip #3: Make use of science (diagnostic testing) to understand what could be preventing you from getting pregnant. Oh, and ask questions. Lots of them!
Tip #4: Talk to your doctor about things you can do that are in your control like lifestyle and diet.
