Is my body failing me?

Image
How can I promote a fertility course when I keep failing at sustaining my own pregnancies? Man if you only knew how many times I have been asked that.  Kelly, how can you expect people to listen to you, believe you, and be willing to pay for your advice when you can’t even achieve what you are telling people they can?  Yeah, I can achieve it. As a matter of fact, I have 4 different times. Yes it is true I have had 22 miscarriages since 2009. From many chemical pregnancies all the way to a 2nd trimester loss. A loss is a loss. Here is what you truly need to focus on. You see, every live child I have today was the end result of a specific decision I made. Every miscarriage I had was the direct result of me not wanting to have another but not taking care of my body and paying attention to it  enough to nurture my womb to sustain a life.  You see. Pregnancy 1. I used vitex and evening primrose. Pregnancy 2. I used evening primrose. Pregnancy 3 I was trying to kickstart ...

Why Should You Worry About Men's Fertility?

 I bet you are wondering now why should you worry about men's fertility ? (Photo by Sebastián-Dario is licensed under CC BY-NC 2.0) You may think I am going off on a cliff here talking about men’s reproductive health when my focus is on women’s reproductive health. Well let’s dive in. Without men and their sperm it doesn’t matter what our bodies do when dropping that egg because there will be nothing to fertilize it. Therefore no pregnancy can occur and our population will be null. It’ll be the end of the human world as we know it. Sounds like one of those conspiracy horror flicks. Face it. We need sperm just as much as the sperm needs the egg and our uterus. Harmony right? So this is why I will speak on men’s health at times too.  (Photo by ntr23 is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 2.0) So now you see the reason to worry about men’s fertility?  Brain melt moment here. So while 100-300 million sperm are created each day, it takes on average 72 days for the seminiferous tubules ...

My Journey As A Radical Birth Keeper

Image
This is my journey as a radical birth keeper. There are many things I have always wanted to do but I never knew where to begin. I was just in my early 20’s when my gynecologist told me that I should become a fertility specialist. That I could help so many young women who have no clue about their own bodies. I laughed and said, I do know about as much as you. He giggled and said, you should hold classes. Many years go by and I pursued other careers. I'm in my 30’s now and I never followed that path. Let me just be real here, public speaking isn't my thing. I am terrified about speaking to people. Especially face to face or large crowds.

They explained that I have unexplained infertility. All of my bloodwork was fine....
