Achieved Natural Pregnancy in Four Weeks After Struggling with Infertility

So I'm pregnant, which is really exciting. So my name is Darcy. I'm a physical therapist in pediatrics and we live in Massachusetts. And my name is Jim and I work in 3D printing. We had moved in 2020 out of the city. knew we wanted to expand our family. we moved for more space and we had started trying, you know, off and on and, we went to some doctors and just, it wasn't happening for us. Um, we felt like we weren't necessarily getting the answers we needed as to why. The doctors were very much so of like, nothing looks super scary on your labs or anything about like your bodies, anything like that. ⁓ So let's start IVF next week. And we're like, what? We were both a little taken aback by that. So we were happy to find the shot and the program. For me, it was like the honesty, like she had gone through a lot herself was willing to like share her story. she had other people that were willing to like vouch and share their stories. So you knew she had like formed a connection. and then also her background, like it's so rare that you can find, ⁓ a naturopath, but also somebody who's still working in medicine and understands both sides because It's so hard to bridge sometimes in what I've found previously. So it was a really nice portion of it. I had started out with like some thyroid, I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis. So I had some other like hormonal things going on. I started with the six week program, the fertility formula. And then at the end of that, I had been feeling actually really good. And she had, you know, we moved on to the 12 week program where James then got involved too. He got labs done. We got even a bigger picture of what was going on. Had to cut out some foods together, but ultimately like I do feel like even like learning throughout the process and just having to like make sacrifices together was, it was kind of a nice experience. You were really saying just how much you felt supported by the doctor and the community around it. even if you were to get pregnant during the 12 week program, like you did, ⁓ really thought that it would be a strong resource for managing things that you need to know during that and having just a connection with somebody who is. Aware of what's going on ⁓ was also a very comforting safety net for you. Yeah, it was hard to think about stepping away from that after the six weeks had been so helpful. logging in to have those calls weekly, even if I didn't have specific questions myself, just listening to the other women in the community ⁓ and Nushat's answers were helpful in some way to something that I was going through. So it was really nice to have. We found out that we were pregnant in about around week four of the 12 week program. So pretty early feeling okay. I'm feeling all the things that come with pregnancy. It's hard to say because I had been feeling great. I'd been feeling more energy, less bloat. My thyroid symptoms were under control. And now that I'm pregnant, of course it's a whole different ball game, but ⁓ all good things. we're excited. We're overwhelmed. But there's, it's nice to be able to focus on positives now that we have and just having the knowledge that we didn't have beforehand makes you feel just a little more supported going into this. Even though we've completed the program, like we're walking away with so much and I feel like even those connections to come back and keep in touch, I'm so hopeful and like I think it's just worth it for the community, the support, Nishat's knowledge. Overall it's been a really nice experience and I'm very thankful to have found her in this community.
