When Kayla first came to me, she felt completely defeated.
She’d been trying to conceive for over a year. She’d already been through medicated cycles, a failed IVF round, and two miscarriages. Her AMH and progesterone levels were extremely low, and even with progesterone supplementation her body still wasn’t responding to it. The advice she kept hearing was, “Your only option is IVF.”
At the same time, her PMS symptoms were impacting her daily life. Low energy. Headaches. Poor digestion. Poor sleep. Constantly feeling flat, emotional, or on edge for no clear reason. And she didn’t want to keep forcing something that clearly wasn’t working. She wanted to understand why her body wasn’t ready for a baby, and what needed to change for it to feel safe again.
So we started rebuilding her foundation. We worked on her energy, digestion, sleep, stress, and her hormone balance. Within four weeks, her body began to shift. Her energy improved. Her digestion settled. She was sleeping through the night. The headaches stopped. Her head and mood felt clearer.
Around two to three months into the program, she decided to do an embryo transfer. It didn’t stick, but her progesterone levels had risen for the first time - something she had been told would never happen. That alone was a breakthrough. After that cycle, she fell pregnant naturally but unfortunately miscarried again. Kayla was devastated. I remember her coming to me in tears, exhausted from doing everything “right” and still feeling like it wasn’t enough. We talked about where she was at, how far she had come, and that her body was finally responding, even if the timing hadn’t lined up yet. She just needed a little more time.
Two months later, she fell pregnant again naturally. But this was different, because now she is almost 13 weeks pregnant, moving into her second trimester. No IVF this time!
This is what happens when we stop trying to override the symptoms and instead listen to what our body is trying to tell us.
Your body isn’t broken. It might just be stressed, undernourished, and needing someone who understands how to support it back into balance 🤍
