“They Said I Was in Menopause” — How Jennifer Edmonds Was Misdiagnosed, Slowed Down, and Got Pregnant Naturally

After being diagnosed with premature menopause, going through failed IVF rounds, and sitting with the grief of it all, Jennifer Edmonds was told her chances of having another baby were close to none. But her body had other plans.

During the stillness of lockdown, Jennifer stumbled across fertility yoga. She wasn’t chasing results anymore. She was simply giving herself permission to pause. What followed was a profound shift in her health, her nervous system, and eventually a natural pregnancy she never thought possible. We talked about medical misdiagnosis, cortisol, trauma, and how powerful it can be to tune back into the rhythms of your own body.

For any woman who’s ever felt like the system has failed her, or her body has let her down, Jennifer’s story is one of possibility, self-trust, and unexpected healing.

Key Takeaways

Misdiagnosis Isn’t the End – Jennifer was told she was in menopause, but her body proved otherwise once it had the space and support to heal.

Nervous System First – Chronic stress, insomnia, and hormone imbalance all began to shift when Jennifer focused on calming her nervous system.

Fertility Yoga with Purpose – Matching movement to each phase of the cycle helped regulate hormones, improve sleep, and bring the body back into rhythm.

Doing Less to Heal More – Letting go of constant appointments, supplements, and pressure gave her body room to do what it was designed to do.

Safety Over Strategy – It wasn’t another protocol that worked—it was the embodied feeling of safety that allowed her body to conceive.

From Pressure to Possibility – When she stopped pushing and surrendered to presence, the path to natural conception became clear.
