Taking control of your fertility

Knowledge is power when you’re dealing with infertility. During our 4 year struggle to have kids, I was constantly searching for answers, desperate for information to help us conceive. 

In honor of Women’s Health Week, I’ve partnered with CCRM Fertility because there’s nothing more important than taking control of your fertility health and knowing your options, which is more important now than ever before in our ever-changing environment.

GETTING ANSWERS

Should I be working out? Is there anything my husband can do? What about genetic testing? I remember jotting down endless lists of questions and then scouring the internet for answers. Luckily, there are experts available to help so that we don’t have to do all of that work.

CCRM TV is an amazing resource resource to get advice directly from the CCRM Fertility Doctors on lifestyle habits to aid in managing stress and even ways to boost your fertility, which is even more critical in our current times. 

For example did you know that taking folic acid, vitamins C and D, fish oils, coenzyme and Acai are ways to support your fertility health? Trust me, this is all super important information no matter if you’re trying to get pregnant right now or down the line. 

MANAGING TIME

Time is not on your side when it comes to infertility. As you get older so do your eggs and the number of problems that can arise with conception. And then to add insult to injury infertility life becomes a big waiting game...waiting to ovulate, the two week wait, waiting for an appointment, waiting to start trying again after a miscarriage. Ugh.

That’s why I love the CCRM Fertility One Day Work-Up! It allows patients to complete more than half a dozen appointments into one single visit...meaning less number of appointments and more answers. Faster! 

Traditional fertility testing can take weeks or months to complete and time is not a luxury we can afford in the world infertility. 

TAKING CONTROL 

The key is taking control of your fertility health NOW so that you know what your options are and you have time to make the best choices for you. 

During those years we endured 2 miscarriages, 5 rounds of clomid, 1 IUI, 3 rounds of IVF, 1 Varicocele surgery for Gabe and even a failed adoption. Looking back there is so much I wish I had known prior to taking each step. 

CCRM Fertility is a global pioneer in fertility science, research and treatment...they’re the best so they can help you make the best choices!  CCRM Fertility’s patients get pregnant 33% faster than patients being treated by other U.S. fertility clinics. 

Often times I reflect on my infertility journey and wonder if maybe the reason I struggled with infertility is so that I could be a voice for those who cannot speak...for the women who have cried on the bathroom floor after yet another negative pregnancy test, for babies who are gone but not forgotten, for the couples whose bodies physically ache under the weight of empty arms.

I know it’s tough but please remember that I am here for you as your biggest cheerleader and I hope you’ll consider the experts at CCRM to help guide you to your baby. 

CCRM Fertility has resumed all forms of fertility treatment for any existing and new patient, regardless of where they started their treatment journey prior to the pandemic lockdown, across all 11 of its locations in the U.S. and Canada. CCRM Fertility will continue to practice comprehensive precautions to ensure the safety and wellbeing of its patients and staff.
