Many couples struggling with infertility feel like IVF is the only next step. And while it’s a great option for many, it’s not always the solution. Sometimes, couples get caught in a cycle of failed IVF treatments, costly rounds of procedures, and emotional rollercoasters without getting pregnant. So, what’s the problem?

The answer is often found in the things that aren’t tested — the deeper, underlying issues that standard fertility tests miss. Whether it’s hormonal imbalances, unexplained infertility, or other health barriers, understanding what’s really going on is key to unlocking your fertility.

The Truth About “Everything Looks Normal”

Gabriela Rosa, a world-renowned fertility expert, shared some real talk about the issue of being told, “everything looks normal, just keep trying.” She emphasized how many couples are often stuck in the “just keep trying” loop when they haven’t been given the full picture. Doctors may check the basic markers — sperm count, ovulation, and egg count — but they rarely dig deeper to uncover the root cause of infertility.

So, what’s missing? A lot. There’s a deeper layer of diagnostics that could help you understand the true cause of your struggles and help you make targeted changes. Gabriela also stresses how crucial it is to address these obstacles before jumping into treatments like IVF. It’s like putting a band-aid on a gaping wound — it won’t solve the root problem.

The Importance of a Holistic Approach to Fertility

t’s easy to think that the right supplement or fertility treatment will fix everything. But the truth is, fertility is far more complex than a one-size-fits-all solution. If you’re still wondering why your IVF treatments aren’t working, or why you’re being told to “just keep trying,” consider what Gabriela calls a “holistic reset.”

• What you’re eating: Your diet plays a huge role in fertility health. Processed foods, toxins, and lack of essential nutrients can throw things off balance.
• Sleep: Are you getting enough sleep? Poor sleep can seriously affect hormone levels and fertility.
• Stress levels: Chronic stress can create an internal environment that isn’t conducive to conception. Have you addressed the emotional stress from this journey?
• Environmental factors: Toxins in your environment can disrupt your hormones and make it harder to conceive.

Sometimes, it’s not just about finding the right treatment but about creating a foundation for your body to thrive. If you’re stuck in the “normal” cycle, it’s time to consider a shift. The good news is that fertility isn’t static; you have the power to address the root causes and change your body’s trajectory.

Getting to the Root Cause of Fertility Challenges

Gabriela’s F.E.R.T.I.L.E. Method has helped thousands of couples conceive after failed IVF cycles and unexplained infertility diagnoses. What’s unique about her approach is that it’s personalized, looking at the whole person and uncovering hidden obstacles — things like nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, gut health, and lifestyle factors. These are the things that standard tests and treatments don’t address.

Here’s the thing: You don’t have to go through IVF as a “last resort.” A holistic approach can give you the clarity and direction you need to create a healthier, more fertile environment for conception. That’s exactly what we talked about in the podcast, and it’s why I’m so passionate about shifting the conversation around fertility.

Next Steps You Can Take Today

If you’ve been feeling stuck on your fertility journey, it’s time to take action and shift your approach. Here are some simple yet powerful steps you can start right now:

Assess Your Lifestyle: Start by looking at your daily habits. Are you getting enough sleep? Are you managing stress? Review your diet and see if you’re getting the essential nutrients that support fertility. Small changes in these areas can make a big difference in how your body functions.

Track Your Ovulation: Understanding your cycle is key. Make sure you’re tracking your ovulation, not just relying on apps but using tests and observations to confirm you’re actually ovulating. This knowledge empowers you to time intercourse more effectively.

Reduce Toxins: Begin reducing the environmental toxins in your home. This includes switching to natural cleaning products, avoiding plastics, and being mindful of the chemicals you’re exposed to, from personal care products to household items.
