Real-life stories from OvuSense users and essential information from fertility experts
Whether you’re just beginning your fertility journey or realizing that getting pregnant may not be as easy as you always thought, there are a number of ways you can take control and improve your fertility naturally, without wading into more complicated and costly medical treatments.
As with any goal, it’s all about setting yourself up for success! While these methods may not deliver an immediate solution for every woman— depending on your age, overall health, or pre-existing conditions, such as PCOS— implementing these lifestyle changes can only help put you in a better place along your journey... So why not give them a go?
Here are some of the best ways to take “trying” into your own hands and boost your fertility naturally.
Let’s talk about cervical secretions. Admittedly, not an everyday topic of conversation, but one that plays such an important role in natural fertility. If you’re just starting to think about trying to get pregnant, the concept of tracking your cervical mucus might be totally foreign – and may even make you cringe. However, these secretions offer valuable natural insight into when you are ovulating, which can be incredibly useful when trying to conceive.
Hopefully by now you have already started monitoring your temperature every day and if so, this is an excellent step in the right direction to maximizing your chances of conception. However, there is more you can do…
Like many women, Sarah spent her 20s trying NOT to get pregnant, assuming that when she was ready, she would be able to conceive. But after experiencing irregular cycles her whole life, she quickly realized that her journey to motherhood wasn’t going to be as straightforward as she had hoped.
After being diagnosed with PCOS in her early 30s while having trouble ttc her first child, Sarah realized she needed a better way to learn about her cycle on her own terms and take back control of her fertility. However, she quickly realized that misinformation or “fertility traps” are everywhere, and needed a more reliable solution.
After doing her research into apps that work with PCOS, Sarah found OvuSense, which offered her “a window to help listen and understand my body better.” Around this time, she also founded The Journey alongside consultant gynaecologist Mahantesh Karoshi as a way to bring evidence-based research, experts, and the products that really work and are backed by science all into one place.
Below, Sarah shares her early understanding of infertility, and how her own experience has pushed her to help other women find the right information and resources as early as possible.
