Dr. Miranda Myles The Natural Doctor & Conception Queen helping you feel better in your body & bring your baby home Hello, I’m Dr Miranda and I love what I do!

I‘m passionate and dedicated to the world of fertility, IVF support, gynaecology, women’s and men’s hormonal health, children’s health and emotional/mental health. I want you to be all you can be; the very best version of you. I am an expert Naturopath and Dr TCM (Acupuncture) with 20 years experience treating 20,000 patients. I am a University lecturer having lectured Nutritional Biochemistry (and just about every other nutrition and food as medicine subject) at both Souther School Natural Therapies (SSNT) now Torrens, and Endeavour for the last 15 years. Through my love and skill for teaching, I was seconded to create and write the very first Nutritional Biochemistry course for SSNT which remains in use today. Having had my own fertility issues, and going through IVF, I get it. I get the disappointment, of every period coming. I get the stress and anxiety, anger and fear. I get that it seems everyone around you is suddenly pregnant, in your office, your friends (even the ones that never wanted kids!), women in your neighbourhood, and in the streets everyone is walking a pram! I had my own individual journey, and now I am a very proud mum of two beautiful children created using donor eggs from not one but 3 donor egg angels. I have my own podcast where I tell my story. I hope this inspires other intending parents to think outside the box in your endeavour to create your unique family. I am also an author, contributing 5 chapters (B1, B2, B3, B5 & Soy) to the highly regarded Herbs and Natural Supplements: An Evidenced Based Guide by Lesley Braun and Marc Cohen. Currently I am writing my own The Fertile You Diet, a clinically proven 100 day preconception diet to help you feel at home in your body and conceive more easily. Due for release 2022. I established my private naturopathy and acupuncture practice in 2002 and I uniquely combine an integrated approach to health through multiple disciplines. As Founder, Director and entrepreneur, I developed one of Melbourne’s leading natural health and fertility treatment clinics for women, men and children Carlton Natural Health, now The Fertile Project .

Choose wisely. Your iron supplements must come with nutrient cofactors for them to work properly.

Now, you may not find every one of these nutrients in your single iron supplement.
After all, there is only so much than can fit in that tablet at therapeutic doses.

But you at least want some of these, especially Vitamin A, C, B vitamins and preferably copper.

You don’t want zinc in the same supplement - that needs to be separate as iron and zinc compete.

You also need a health gut Microbiome.

And you must eat enough protein.

Taking more of your sh*tty pharmacy iron may not solve the problem.

Heavy menstrual bleeding is one of the most common drivers of iron deficiency in women.
Addressing the underlying cause is essential for restoring iron status.

If bleeding isn’t regulated, iron depletion will continue.

Stop just taking more iron supplements and investigate the why.
Your iron status should be improving after 8-12 weeks of supplementation.
If it’s not, something is getting in the way.
It may be sh*tty supplements, it may absorption issues, bleeding issues, medications, parasites… or it may be a normal physiological response.

Investigate. Test, don’t guess.

If your ferritin isn’t improving despite supplementation, the issue may not be intake.

It may be absorption.

Iron deficiency has three primary drivers:

1️⃣ Blood loss
2️⃣ Inflammatory sequestration
3️⃣ Malabsorption

In clinical practice, I often see women repeatedly prescribed higher doses of iron without investigating the underlying mechanism.

Iron is absorbed primarily in the proximal small intestine. If there is:

• Chronic bloating
• Reflux
• IBS
• Untreated Helicobacter pylori infection
• Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth
• Coeliac disease
• Low stomach acid

Absorption may be compromised.
This impairs iron uptake by affecting stomach acid, mucosal integrity, or inflammatory signalling.

In other cases, ferritin may appear normal, yet serum iron and transferrin saturation are low. This suggests inflammatory blockade — where the hormone hepcidin reduces iron absorption and traps iron in storage.

More supplementation does not override hepcidin.

In fertility and pregnancy care, this matters.

Iron supports:

• Ovulation
• Endometrial oxygenation
• Placental development
• Postpartum recovery

If ferritin won’t rise, the question is not “How much more iron?”

The question is “Why isn’t it being absorbed?”

Iron deficiency is rarely random.

It’s a signal.

If you’ve ever been told
“Your iron is low”

without context…

You’re missing the real story.

Iron status is not one number.
It’s a pattern.

Here’s what actually matters:

Ferritin → your storage tank.
Low = depleted.
But it rises with inflammation.

Serum iron → what’s circulating today.
Fluctuates. Not diagnostic alone.

Transferrin → the transporter.
High transferrin + low ferritin = classic depletion.

Transferrin saturation → availability.

Ovarian health is often focused on fertility but physiologically the ovaries are endocrine organs with systemic effects.

They regulate hormones that influence:
- Brain chemistry
- Bone density
- Cardiovascular function
- Metabolism
- Immune health

Whether or not fertility is part of your plan, ovarian function plays a central role in long term health outcomes.

Your cycle isn’t just reproductive- it’s a vital sign!

Your egg is on a timer… and it’s a very short one ⏳

If you’re trying to conceive, understanding when you ovulate isn’t helpful — it’s essential.

Once an egg is released at ovulation, it survives for just ⭐️12–24 hrs⭐️ That’s it. One brief window each cycle where fertilisation can occur.

S***m, on the other hand, are far more patient. In healthy cervical mucus, they can survive for up to 5 days, waiting in the cervical crypts for the egg to appear.
👉 This is why timing matters.

Research consistently shows that the highest chance of conception comes from having s*x the day before ovulation, not after.
From large prospective studies (Wilcox et al., NEJM 1995):
• 5 days before ovulation: ~10% chance
• 3 days before: ~15–20% chance
• 2 days before: ~25–27% chance
• 1 day before: ~30–33% chance (highest probability). Some studies have quoted up to 41% chance
• Day of ovulation: ~12–15% chance
• Day after ovulation: ~0–5% chance (egg usually no longer viable)

👉By the time ovulation has already happened, the window may already be closing.
And the egg is re-absorbed. Just like that.
So if you’re only trying once you think you’ve ovulated, you could be missing your most fertile day entirely.
Learn your body.
Track your signs.
Understand your fertile window.
Because conception isn’t just about ovulating — it’s about timing in*******se to meet the egg when it actually arrives.
