Podcasts about get pregnant naturally

Poor embryo development is not random. And "it just didn't work" is not an explanation. If your embryos stopped growing on Day 3 or Day 5, you've likely been told some version of the same thing. Bad luck. Egg quality. Try again. But Day 3 vs Day 5 embryo arrest are not interchangeable events. The timing carries biological clues. And when those clues are ignored, couples often repeat cycles without addressing what actually shaped the outcome. In this episode, we break down what early arrest, later arrest, and repeating arrest patterns may be signaling and how to think more clearly before your next attempt. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Day 3 embryo arrest often reflects maternal energy and developmental support patterns Why Day 5 embryo arrest often leans toward paternal or combined biological coordination How sperm contribution becomes more influential as embryo activation progresses Why repeating embryo arrest is usually a shared systems pattern, not a single isolated issue How to use embryo timing as data instead of accepting vague explanations I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally. For over a decade, my team and I have reviewed hundreds of low AMH and failed IVF cases using functional testing alongside conventional fertility care. We specialize in helping couples identify the physiological patterns driving poor outcomes so decisions are grounded in interpretation, not guesswork. If you've been moving from cycle to cycle without a clear way to evaluate what's actually been addressed, I created a free resource called the Embryo Audit Checklist. It helps you organize past cycles and labs so you can see what's been looked at and what may not have been considered yet. Access it here.

After a failed IVF cycle, the pressure to move quickly into the next one can feel overwhelming. Clinics often encourage momentum. Emotionally, it can feel safer to stay in motion than to pause. But rushing into another IVF cycle too quickly can quietly reinforce the same biological conditions that shaped the last outcome. If you've been told to increase stimulation, change protocols, or "just try again," this episode challenges that reflex. Because before another round begins, the more important question is: What actually needs to shift in the biology? In this episode of Get Pregnant Naturally, we explore why recovery windows matter after a failed IVF cycle and how back-to-back stimulation can compound physiological stress, especially in cases of low AMH, embryo arrest, or recurrent implantation failure. In this episode, you'll learn: Why stacking IVF cycles too closely can affect cellular energy and egg development How hormonal rhythm and communication break down when recovery time is skipped The hidden impact of inflammation and immune load between cycles Why more medication does not always mean better coordination inside the system How to recognize when repetition is happening without recalibration IVF is physically and emotionally demanding. Medications, procedures, disrupted sleep, and stress all increase the body's workload. Biology improves during recovery windows, not during nonstop stimulation. Strategic pauses are not delays. They are opportunities for recalibration. I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally.

If you've been told your embryos look good, your lining is appropriate, and your hormones are in range, yet implantation keeps failing, it can leave you with a nagging feeling that something is missing, but you can't quite put your finger on it. Most couples don't repeat IVF or transfers casually. They follow the plan that's laid out, adjust protocols, and keep moving forward because that's what makes sense. When outcomes don't change, the explanation often shifts to chance, timing, or trying again. In this episode, we talk about why those explanations often feel unsatisfying, and why implantation failure can persist even when everything looks reasonable on paper. Not because you haven't done enough, but because the full picture may never have been looked at all at once. This conversation is about stepping back and asking better questions before moving forward again. In this episode, we explore: Why "good embryos" and "normal labs" don't always translate into implantation How focusing on individual results can miss what's happening across the whole system Why changing protocols doesn't always address repeat outcomes The kinds of patterns that tend to go unexplored when everything looks fine How to think more clearly about whether another cycle is actually the next step Rather than offering another checklist or protocol, this episode helps you zoom out and understand why implantation is rarely a single-factor issue.

Most smart women don't stay stuck in fertility treatment because they aren't trying hard enough. They stay stuck because the same pattern keeps repeating, even when the outcomes don't change. If you've done multiple cycles, followed every recommendation, tried different protocols, and still ended up with the same results, this episode is for you. This isn't about which supplement to take or what protocol to ask for next. It's about how fertility decisions are being made, and why that matters more than effort. In this episode, I break down the common patterns I see that keep people looping through treatment without getting real clarity. In this episode, you'll hear about: Why clinics often move straight to "try again" instead of stopping to look at what's actually happening How following the plan can feel safe, even when the plan isn't working Why being busy in treatment isn't the same as making progress How fear of rocking the boat keeps people doing the familiar, even when it's disappointing The quiet cost of time, money, and energy when nothing truly changes I also share why I created the Embryo Audit Checklist. Not to give you more things to do, but to help you step back and look at your own data clearly so you can see patterns instead of reacting to the next suggestion. Email hello@fabfertile.ca subject line CHECKLIST for your copy. I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally. For over a decade, my team and I have reviewed hundreds of low AMH and failed IVF cases using functional testing alongside conventional fertility care. We specialize in helping couples identify the physiological patterns driving poor outcomes so decisions are grounded in interpretation, not guesswork. This episode is for you if: You've done "everything right" but the outcomes keep repeating You feel like you're always doing something but not moving forward You want to understand what's missing before committing to another cycle

If you've been told your failed IVF cycle was "just bad luck" or blamed on "egg quality," that explanation is incomplete. Bad luck is not a diagnosis. It simply means the underlying biological patterns have not yet been identified. IVF is a technical process that happens in a lab, but embryos still develop inside a living biological environment. If inflammation, energy production, immune signaling, or sperm DNA integrity are compromised, no protocol change alone can override that physiology. Repeating cycles without deeper interpretation often leads to the same outcomes, higher costs, and more emotional exhaustion. In this episode, I walk through the three biological patterns I consistently see behind embryo arrest, poor blast development, failed transfers, and unexplained IVF failure. More importantly, you'll learn how to use your past cycles as meaningful data so you can stop guessing and start making more strategic decisions before another round. In this episode, you'll learn: Why a technically "perfect" IVF cycle can still fail despite good labs and protocols How low cellular energy production impacts embryo development and early growth Why sperm DNA fragmentation often matters long before clinics flag it as abnormal How oxidative stress, inflammation, hormonal signaling, and metabolic strain influence embryo quality How to interpret repeated IVF outcomes instead of labeling them as unexplained or bad luck I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally. For over a decade, my team and I have reviewed hundreds of low AMH and failed IVF cases using functional testing alongside conventional fertility care. We specialize in helping couples identify the physiological patterns driving poor outcomes so decisions are grounded in interpretation, not guesswork. This episode is for you if: You've experienced embryo arrest, failed transfers, or repeated IVF cycles without clear answers You've been told everything looks "normal" but results keep falling short You want a smarter way to evaluate what your body is signaling before investing in another cycle

What if the very thing you're doing to try to get pregnant—constant researching, Googling, and “fixing”—is actually keeping your body from conceiving?If you find yourself stuck in fertility research mode, jumping from podcast to podcast, protocol to protocol, this quick episode explains why that pattern keeps your nervous system in chronic stress. In this episode, you'll learn...-Why over-researching fertility keeps your nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight-How stress from “fix-it mode” quietly disrupts ovulation, progesterone, and implantation-A simple awareness reset you can use immediately to help your body shift into safetyPress play to discover why putting the information down may be the most fertile move you can make right now—and how to support your body without more overwhelm.

If you've been told your AMH is low and IVF is your only option, or you already went through IVF and it didn't work, this episode will change how you interpret that number and what decision actually deserves your attention next. Here's what most patients are never told: AMH reflects egg quantity, not egg capability. It helps clinics predict medication response, but it does not explain why eggs develop poorly, why embryos arrest, or why outcomes fail to improve despite protocol changes. When IVF fails, the cycle itself becomes valuable data if you know how to interpret it across systems instead of treating it as bad luck or age alone. In this episode, I walk through a real case where the outcome changed not because the AMH changed, but because the physiological environment influencing egg development was finally evaluated. This is not about avoiding IVF or chasing numbers. It is about understanding what the data is actually telling you so you can make a better next decision. In this episode, you'll learn: Why AMH predicts stimulation response, not egg health or developmental capacity How inflammatory load quietly interferes with ovarian signaling and embryo development Why nutrient absorption and utilization patterns matter more than supplement volume How brain–hormone signaling influences ovulation timing, progesterone, and cycle predictability Why nervous system state shapes immune balance, implantation readiness, and resilience under treatment stress I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally. For over a decade, my team and I have reviewed hundreds of low AMH and failed IVF cases using functional testing alongside conventional fertility care. We specialize in helping couples identify the physiological patterns driving poor outcomes so decisions are grounded in interpretation, not guesswork. This episode is for you if: You were told your AMH is low, and no one explained what that actually means IVF failed, response was poor, or embryos stopped developing without clear answers You want better interpretation before repeating another protocol or escalating treatment

"Poor egg quality" is not a diagnosis. It's where clinics stop looking. If you've been told you have poor egg quality after failed IVF, low AMH, embryo arrest, or recurrent pregnancy loss, this episode will change how you understand that label and what to do next. Here's the truth most women are never told: poor egg quality is not directly measured. It's a conclusion clinics infer based on age, embryo grading, or how your ovaries responded to stimulation. When IVF fails, that label often becomes the end of the conversation instead of the beginning of a deeper investigation. In this episode, I break down the five physiological patterns we see repeatedly in women with low AMH, failed IVF, embryo arrest, and pregnancy loss and why correcting these patterns can lead to pregnancy even when AMH does not change. In this episode, you'll learn: Why "poor egg quality" is a label, not a test result and what clinics are actually inferring How gut and vaginal microbiome stress drive inflammation and impair nutrient absorption critical for egg development Why mineral depletion disrupts mitochondrial energy, hormone signaling, and cellular communication in the ovary How blood sugar instability and circadian disruption interfere with ovulation and progesterone Why nervous system overload and HPA-axis patterns affect immune balance, implantation, and early embryo development I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally. For over a decade, my team and I have reviewed hundreds of failed IVF cases and helped couples improve pregnancy outcomes naturally and alongside IVF. We specialize in low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency, and recurrent pregnancy loss using functional testing and personalized fertility strategies. This episode is for you if: You were told you have poor egg quality with no clear explanation why IVF failed, embryos stopped growing, or all embryos tested were abnormal You don't want another medication tweak or repeated protocol, you want answers

Have you been told your hormones are “out of balance” — but no one has explained why ovulation still isn't happening?If you're struggling with PCOS, irregular cycles, or unexplained ovulation issues, this episode breaks down a critical piece of the fertility puzzle most women are missing: how insulin signaling affects your hormones and ovaries — and why inositol may be the missing link for restoring ovulation naturally.In this episode you'll...-A clear understanding of how inositol supports hormone balance and ovulation — with or without PCOS-The exact difference between myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol, and the best to support egg quality-Practical guidance on how to safely incorporate inositol into your fertility plan without harming ovulationPress play now to discover how one targeted nutrient could help restore ovulation, balance hormones, and move you closer to getting pregnant naturally.

If you're over 35 with low AMH and have experienced a failed IVF cycle or been told IVF is your only option, this episode is for you. AMH provides information, but it does not tell the full story about your ability to get pregnant. In this episode, we break down what actually predicts pregnancy success when AMH is low and why focusing only on numbers often leads to frustration and stalled progress. You'll learn: What AMH truly represents and why it reflects ovarian reserve, not egg capability Why IVF often fails for women with low AMH despite "normal" standard lab results The difference between producing many eggs versus developing one high-quality egg How inflammation, digestion, immune activation, and mineral depletion affect egg development Why mitochondrial health is essential for egg quality and embryo development How stress physiology and circadian rhythm disruption impact ovulation, progesterone, and implantation The four underlying patterns we consistently see improve before pregnancy occurs, regardless of AMH Sarah Clark is the founder of Fab Fertile Inc. and the host of Get Pregnant Naturally. For over a decade, her team has helped hundreds of couples improve their chances of pregnancy success naturally and with IVF.

If you have low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve , or premature ovarian insufficiency and keep hearing that your TSH is "normal," you may be missing a key piece of your fertility story. Even small shifts in thyroid function can influence egg quality, ovarian reserve, embryo development, implantation, and early pregnancy. In this episode, we look at how thyroid health connects to your labs, symptoms, and IVF outcomes so you can understand what is being overlooked. You'll learn: Why a normal TSH does not always mean your thyroid is optimal for fertility The thyroid markers most clinics miss and why they matter How thyroid patterns influence egg development, ovarian aging, and implantation The connection between thyroid antibodies, low AMH, and IVF failure Practical steps to support thyroid function and improve your chances of conception Sarah Clark is the founder of Fab Fertile Inc. and the host of Get Pregnant Naturally.

If you're over 40 and have been told your ovarian reserve is low, you've likely heard things like your only option is IVF with donor eggs or your time has run out. But those statements rarely tell the full story. In today's episode, Improve Ovarian Reserve to Get Pregnant After 40, we explore what ovarian reserve actually measures, why it does not define your fertility potential, and how a functional fertility approach can support egg quality, hormone communication, and your chances of pregnancy, whether naturally or with IVF. Even after 40, your body can respond when you understand the underlying imbalances that influence ovarian function. You'll learn • What AMH, FSH, and AFC truly indicate and why they don't measure egg quality • How mitochondrial energy, nutrient levels, and antioxidants influence egg development after 40 • The role of thyroid health and why optimal TSH should be below 2.0 when trying to conceive • How gut infections, immune dysregulation, and vaginal microbiome imbalances affect ovarian reserve • Which functional tests help uncover hidden imbalances that impact egg potential, including GI MAP, DUTCH, GrowBaby, and HTMA This episode is especially for you if: • You are 40 or older and have been told your AMH is low or your FSH is high • You have experienced failed IVF cycles, early loss, or poor egg quality and want to know what else you can do • You want a functional fertility framework that looks at hormone communication, egg energy, and whole body imbalances rather than just chasing lab numbers Next Steps in Your Fertility Journey Subscribe to Get Pregnant Naturally for evidence-based guidance on functional fertility, and share this episode with anyone on their fertility journey.

If you've ever been told your FSH is too high or that you're not a good candidate for IVF, today's episode will help you understand what that number actually means and the many ways you can still support your fertility. When most people hear "high FSH," they immediately think poor ovarian reserve or low egg count. That's not the full story. In this episode, we look at what high FSH signals, how to interpret it alongside other markers, and what both conventional and functional fertility options can help you move forward with clarity. You'll learn: • What high FSH actually measures and why context matters when paired with AMH, estradiol, and AFC • How inflammation, stress, thyroid imbalance, sleep, and environmental toxins influence FSH • Conventional treatment options such as mini IVF, natural cycle IVF, Letrozole, and individualized stimulation protocols • How functional fertility improves the internal environment so your ovaries respond better to any treatment • The key labs, nutrients, and lifestyle factors that support egg quality and hormone communication in high FSH cases This episode is especially for you if: • You've been told you have high FSH or diminished ovarian reserve and worry the window is closing • You've had canceled IVF cycles or poor responses and want to understand what else you can do • You want to see how a functional fertility approach can support egg quality so your next steps feel strategic and not desperate Sarah Clark is the founder of Fab Fertile Inc. and the host of Get Pregnant Naturally.

You've been told your AMH is too low or that your egg quality isn't good enough, especially if you're over 40. But AMH doesn't define your fertility; it's a reflection of ovarian reserve, not your ability to conceive. In this episode, we explore how a functional fertility approach can help you uncover the real reasons AMH is low and how to support your eggs, hormones, and body so you can move forward with confidence whether naturally or with IVF. You'll Learn: What AMH really measures and why many women with low AMH still conceive once key systems are supported. The underlying causes that lower AMH: inflammation, gut health, blood-sugar imbalance, thyroid/adrenal dysfunction, and nutrient depletion. Which functional labs reveal what conventional testing often misses (GI-MAP, DUTCH, micronutrients). How to support egg quality after 40 through personalized nutrition, targeted supplements, toxin reduction, and nervous-system regulation. When IVF fits best and how preparing your body 3–6 months in advance can improve response, embryo quality, and implantation.

We're digging into reproductive immunology and why this can help pregnancy outcomes. Reproductive immunology is a hot topic in the fertility space. There are some cutting-edge therapies that can help address diminished ovarian reserve, repeat miscarriage, elevated NK cells, positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA), secondary infertility and unexplained infertility. I've hosted the Get Pregnant Naturally podcast for over 6.5 years, and I know that when we work on our health, we can reverse infertility. In all those episodes, I have not interviewed anyone from the conventional fertility industry. We are not anti-IVF, but I believe strongly that the first step for anyone on the fertility journey must include a targeted assessment and action plan to improve our health. Skipping this part is what leads many to experience poor outcomes with assisted reproductive technology. I wanted to bring this episode to you to discuss some therapies to consider after you've conducted functional testing, optimized your biomarkers and implemented a targeted plan to address the underlying reasons for your fertility diagnosis. Today, I'm excited to welcome Dr. Marco Mouanness to the podcast.

We need a personalized approach because we're all unique. So, where do you start? I've got a simple 10-day plan so you can figure out how food impacts your body. In this episode, you'll learn: 1) How to know if your infertility is a symptom of something else going on in your body (Hint – digestive issues, skin/mood problems, joint issues, and autoimmunity are ALL clues) 2) What is a leaky gut, and why this matters if you are TTC 3) Which foods to avoid during the elimination and how to reintroduce them (this part is crucial) 4) Which foods you will eat (it is NOT about starving or drinking green juice) 5) How to commit and actually start the elimination diet (gluten-light/dairy-light do NOT work) 6) Supplement recommendations and lifestyle strategies to support you during an elimination diet   --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii   --- I just put together a new guide “Reconnecting With Your Fertility: Preparing Your Body With Diet” that I'm going to give you pro bono (aka, free

We're digging into common mistakes we see on the fertility journey. I started the Get Pregnant Naturally podcast five (5) years ago on January 1, 2018. In the beginning, I recorded with audio only because the thought of doing video was too intimidating. I like to prepare my episodes beforehand, so I thought it would look weird if I were always referring to my notes. After recording 383 episodes of the podcast, I'm well past the point of caring what I look like on camera or sound like on audio. The main point is to provide value to you, the listener. After all, I'm on a mission to spread the word about the power of functional medicine, nutrition, and natural fertility solutions. I curate each episode with you, the listener, in mind. The topics are endless as the fertility journey impacts all aspects of our lives. I get inspiration from our clients, my followers on social media, and members of the Fab Fertile community. To date, we have over 760,000 downloads from listeners all over the world. I am humbled and grateful that you are here and that you spend your precious time listening to each episode. It really does mean the world to me. So as we begin the New Year, I want you to know that you are not alone. The journey to conceive can take over your life, but can you choose to reframe your experience and trust deep in your heart that your baby's soul is here now. I want you to have a plan for 2023 to improve your chances of pregnancy success.   In this episode, you'll learn: 1) How to stop wasting time and fast-track pregnancy success (hint: it's not about consuming the latest fertility superfoods or starting fad diets) 2) Why focusing on the basics shifts the needle faster 3) This one theme we see with couples and how it can strain your relationship --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   I'm excited to introduce you to the Inito fertility monitor, an easy, at-home fertility tracker that gives accurate results while cutting down on your time and expenses.

We're digging into what to do if you've been diagnosed with cancer while on the fertility journey and how to prevent cancer. I have received many requests to provide information about navigating a cancer diagnosis while trying to conceive. Many of us have been touched by cancer, perhaps through a personal diagnosis or by a family member, friend, or colleague diagnosed with the disease. A cancer diagnosis can be an overwhelming experience and challenges individuals in ways sometimes hard to imagine. Conventional medicine tells us that chemotherapy, radiation and surgery are the only treatment options. While those options may be right for some, there are alternatives that we can consider. It can be incredibly confusing to know where you can start to optimize pregnancy success after or during a cancer diagnosis. This episode of Get Pregnant Naturally is a call to action. If you've been diagnosed with cancer and are trying to conceive or know someone with cancer, please share this episode. Today I'm excited to welcome Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy. Dr. Connealy is a prominent leader in the Integrative & Functional Medicine medical field. She is the medical director of two amazing clinics “The Cancer Center for Healing” & “Center for New Medicine”. Her clinics have seen over 47,000 patients and continue to grow. is the author of two books, The Cancer Revolution and Be Perfectly Healthy.   In this episode, you'll learn: 1) Recommendations for someone who has been diagnosed with cancer or finished treatment when they are ready to TTC 2) Risks with fertility treatment (IVF) for someone with a history of breast cancer and cancer 3) Thyroid cancer and where to start in preparing for pregnancy success 4) Biomarkers for early cancer detection and prevention 5) Top suggestions for cancer prevention and the final word on thermography vs. mammography 6) How emotions/mindset impact cancer --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Join Dr. Connealy's Cancer Conversations here - https://cancercenterforhealing.com/events/   Stuck in a food rut?

If you or your partner are having a hard time getting pregnant, or are just tired and stressed, hormones may be the cause. With a delicate interplay, hormones drive much of our general and metabolic health. Imbalances can lead to infertility but also weight gain. Eat the wrong thing, train too much/too little and you will develop imbalances in your hormones. Additionally, the microbiome can be the cause of and be impacted by these compounds. Joining us today at Maximal Being Fitness, Nutrition and Gut Health, is Sarah Clarke, a natural Fertility coach and Functional Medicine practitioner here to set your life into balance.Topics-What are hormones-What causes imbalances-The role of stress, diet and training on your hormones-The microbiome/gut and hormone balance- Fixing your hormones and fertility issuesDoc Mok an advanced GI doctor specializing in nutrition, gut health and cancer.

Welcome to Episode 1 of Season 5 of the The PCOS Revolution podcast: Easing Stress & Anxiety With Mindfulness Hi everyone and welcome back to the first episode of Season 5 today! I've invited two very special guests on our show today to speak about how you can take control of your stress using a few simple techniques. Mindfulness and hypnosis have been successfully used to help reduce anxiety when faced with infertility, PCOS and endometriosis. I wanted to give you a few tips since this is something we ask our patients at Florida Complete Wellness to try both during their acupuncture treatments and at home when preparing for an upcoming medicated cycle or just trying to get their stress levels under control. Some of you might know Sara Clark who's a guest we've had on my podcast twice already and along with hosting her own podcast Get Pregnant Naturally, She is the author of Fabulously Fertile – Supercharge your Fertility Naturally, The Fabulously Fertile Cookbook and Fertility Preparation Program. She is also the founder of her Signature Fertility Coaching Program, which includes functional lab testing and supports couples to make diet and lifestyle changes that dramatically improve the chances of a healthy pregnancy and baby! Amira Posner is a Professional Therapist who developed and now facilitates the Mind-Body Fertility Group and Fab Fertile Mindfulness Fertility Series. Now just a warning if you're listening to this podcast in your car: Amira walks us through a special guided hypnosis session which you don't want to do while driving or operating heavy machinery! I would suggest placing the podcast on hold towards the end and pressing play when you're in a quiet spot you can really sink into for the next few minutes. So I really hope this episode leaves you more centered and grounded and if you'd like to explore Sarah and Amira's Mindfulness Fertility Series, I would encourage you to connect with them in the links I've provided above.
