The Short Answer: What I Did to Get Pregnant Naturally at 43

Western Fertility Dr. Recommendations Combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine 

Diet:

• No caffeine
  
• No alcohol
  
• Dairy only 1 serving per day max, this has been controversial but I believe as Chinese medicine practitioners do that it thickens your cervical mucus and makes your body sluggish
  
• Organic as far as possible, not 100% but best you can do
  
• Tons of veggies but nothing raw (your body uses pelvic energy to digest)
  
• Only "warming" Fruits and Foods not cooling foods see: PingMingHealth.com, and FiveSeasonHealing.com
  
• No icey cold drinks or food, no ice cream :( (draws circulation away from pelvic organs)
  
• Lots of fresh warm stews and soups
  
• No soda of any kind
  
• No artificial anything
  
• Yes to some dark chocolate!
  
• Decaf Green Tea and black tea, don't overdo herbal teas
• Only organic or all natural, grass fed meats
  
• Plant protein 3 x week or more: Studies have shown that women who eat lots of Lentils & Beans are significantly less likely to have infertility 
• But don't have to much Soy, as it's isoflavones can act like estrogen in the body and alter your cycle 
• Only organic eggs 
• Almost no sugar, no simple carbs, only complex carbs
• No Trans Fats! (fast food, packaged food, sweets, chips) For every 2% increase in trans fats, risk of infertility increases by 73%

• Safe, less toxic beauty products and household products
• Gentle exercise like hiking, walking
  

Sex

• Missionary position
• Stay laying down 15 min after sex
• Have sex every day for 3 days leading up to ovulation and day of ovulation itself
• No lubricants except pre-seed
• No saliva (no oral sex either way)
• No anal sex
• No orgasm during implantation

Prescriptions

• After getting pregnant, go immediately to Fertility Specialist for a blood test to see whether or not you need to support the early pregnancy with Progesterone. This is frequently needed by older women to ensure a healthy uterine lining for implantation and growth.  (Wise to see a specialist before you get pregnant, even if not taking IVF route, so that you can get a quick appointment if you have success.)
