Your fertility is yours. It has always been yours. And it’s time to take it back.
You’ve just started trying for a baby or maybe it hasn’t happened yet for you after trying for a few months. So where do you go from here?
Step 1: Figure out if you are ovulating
Step 2: Know when you are ovulating
Step 3: Make use of you fertile window
That may seem really easy and straight forward – which is is – BUT if you haven’t actively looked at this yet, from now on you are going to increase your chances of falling pregnant faster significantly when you do!
With my course Your Fertile Window, you can learn to do exactly that as well as find out if your cycles are healthy enough to fall pregnant.

Did you know in many traditional communities couples are fed a high density diet for several months before they start to try for a baby? What I see around me instead, is that women may start taking extra folic acid (btw you’re going to want FOLATE rather than folic acid!), the couple wastes a few months trying and missing their window, then discover they’ve been missing their fertile window, only to then realize her cycle is off. Maybe, finally after a year of heartache their doctor is finally willing to run some tests only to find out that her hormones are dropping, his sperm is low in count and quality, or actually “nothing is wrong” but there are 0 solutions apart from pushing them into very non-natural invasive fertility treatment.
Depressing right. But this doesn’t have to be you (any longer).
What if you prepared? What if you looked at your health and fertility before starting, or at least at the beginning, instead of winging it and losing precious time?
What if you tackled the 5 most important issues from the start so that your bodies are as fertile as possible?
1. Effects from plastics
2. Heavy metal toxicity
3. Contraceptives use (long term, short term, 2nd or 3rd generation it all has impact)
4. Nutrient deficiency
5. Not knowing when you are actually fertile in your cycle

If you`ve just had your AMH tested and the number wasn`t what you hoped for, I get it. It`s scary. Especially when your doctor immediately starts talking about IVF or donor eggs.
Can I sit with you for a second and offer some reassurance? I thought so 🙂
#1: AMH is a number, it doesn’t define you or your fertility (no really!)
#2: The big one: it fluctuates!
#3: It says absolutely nothing about the quality of your eggs.
So now that you are reminded of these truths, let’s talk about what we can do about it, yes? Not necessarily about the number itself, although yes that’s possible sometimes, but about your odds of conceiving the baby you’re longing for.
I dedicated this week’s video to that for you.

There`s a common painkiller that could actually stop your egg from releasing.
Many women take it without thinking twice. But thay is especially a bad idea around ovulation.
In my last video I showed you how to know whether you`re actually ovulating. But what if everything looks right on paper and there`s still no egg?
I just made a video on this. Find the link in my bio or comment VIDEO and I`ll send!
Are you sure you`re ovulating when you think you are?
Most women tell me: "Yes Fleur, my app says I ovulated on day 14 and I got a positive test."
But hear me out in this:
An app runs on an algorithm, not your body. And positive ovulation strips only confirm a hormone surge, not that an egg actually released.
If you stop timing lovemaking right after that positive test, you might be missing your fertile window entirely without realizing it. (I see this with patients all the time..!)
I made a full breakdown on why your timing might be off and how to know for sure that an egg was released.

Should you get DNA fragmentation tested, yes or no?
It`s a test that isn`t often done. Couples are offered the standard semen analysis: count, motility, morphology. And when that comes back "normal," everyone moves on.
Most clinics don`t see the value in testing it. The results rarely change what they`d recommend. They`d suggest antioxidants or lifestyle changes either way. There`s no standard cutoff, no universal testing method, and most insurance won`t cover it because it`s still considered experimental.
So it falls through the cracks. Not because it doesn`t matter, but because the system isn`t set up to look at it yet. Which means it`s usually up to you to request it.
Because DNA fragmentation does offer an extra dimension for sperm quality: how intact the DNA inside the sperm actually is. And if it`s damaged, it can affect how the embryo develops.
But here`s what I keep seeing in my practice: even when DNA fragmentation comes back fine, that still doesn`t rule out the male factor.
In my latest video, I break down why male factor seems to be the biggest blind spot in current miscarriage aftercare, and why I don`t want to leave you in the dark about it. Comment VIDEO below and I`ll send you the link. 📺
A healthy couple in their 20s has about a 25% chance of getting pregnant every cycle 🤯
Sounds pretty low, right?
And then you`re told that when you`re in your 30s, it starts to drop off a cliff. Late 30s: 10-15%.
Early 40s? That awful statistic you`ve probably already seen:
5% or less.
Yikes.
Insert Fleur your optimistic Fertility Homeopath:
📣📣📣 Those percentages are misleading.
And that`s what my new video is about.
I break down what those numbers actually mean, why they may not say nearly as much about your chances of getting pregnant as you think they do, and what you can do to improve your odds, no matter your age bracket.

I hope especially if those age-related statistics have been worrying you, this one gives you some encouragement for this week. 🩷
The sperm test came back "normal."
But the miscarriages still happening...
A standard semen analysis tells us a lot.
But it doesn`t tell us everything.
In my latest YouTube video, I explain why a normal sperm test doesn`t always rule out the male factor in miscarriage, comment VIDEO below and I`ll send you the link to it.
Your sperm test came back "normal."
So why are the miscarriages still happening?

If you`ve had a miscarriage, you`ve probably heard some version of:
"These things just happen."
Until you had another and another. And you`re like, so these things "just happen" right?
But now finally investigations do usually begin. Because now there is a pattern.
To your surprise.. they only investigate... you?
Of course, you did suffer the loss. And yes, there can be reasons that your body wasn`t able to sustain a pregnancy causing the loss
But if a miscarriage happens because the baby stops developing, shouldn`t we also be looking at what the baby needed in order to develop in the first place?
That starts with the genetic material.
Half comes from the egg. You.
Half comes from the sperm. Dad
So while it`s absolutely important to investigate the woman, I`ve been asking myself for years why we don`t investigate the other half just as carefully.
If you`d like to hear my full thoughts on this, and why I believe the male factor deserves a much bigger place in the conversation around miscarriage, comment VIDEO below and I`ll send you the link to my latest YouTube video.
