Full story →

Before

Obsessed with cycle tracking, carrying anger and resentment, glass-half-empty mindset, felt broken and would have meltdowns on the floor

Key Shift

8 weeks of forgiveness work, releasing resentment, meditation and visualization, shifting from fear to gratitude

After

Energetically open, able to trust intuition, joyful, grateful, could form authentic relationships, felt light and free

From Never Wanting Children to Desperate for Motherhood

Mel shares how the day after her wedding, she experienced a complete shift from never wanting children to desperately wanting to be a mom. This unexpected change set her on a journey that would challenge everything she thought she knew about herself and conception.

Health Scares and Medical Challenges

Within months of trying to conceive, Mel faced a series of health scares including abnormal cervical cells requiring surgery, a breast lump, and a uterine mass. Later, testing revealed a completely blocked right fallopian tube, seemingly stacking the odds against her.

The Obsession Trap

Mel became consumed with tracking her basal body temperature with obsessive precision, to the point where she wouldn't let herself use the bathroom at night for fear of disrupting her readings. This controlling behavior continued for eight months without conception, leading to a major breakdown.

Transformation Through Forgiveness

Working with Rosanne through the Fearlessly Fertile Method became an eight-week course in forgiveness for Mel. She released years of anger and resentment, describing the feeling as having 'a big rock removed from her chest' and finally being able to form authentic relationships.

First Pregnancy and Loss

Two months after completing the program, Mel conceived naturally but spent the pregnancy in fear of miscarriage. At nine weeks, her fears materialized and she lost the pregnancy, but instead of giving up, she made a promise to celebrate any future pregnancy.

The Power of Gratitude and Wonderment

Inspired by one of Rosanne's podcast episodes on wonderment, Mel shifted into a state of joy and gratitude. She began looking at everything through 'joyful eyes' and implemented the principle that 'you can't be afraid if you're grateful and have joy.'

Choosing Intuition Over Surgery

When doctors recommended exploratory surgery for her blocked tube, Mel's intuition guided her to decline and continue with meditation and visualization instead. This decision to trust her inner knowing proved pivotal to her success.

Second Conception and Sustained Joy

Mel's final visualization connected her to the beauty and life force around her, leading to the realization that 'there's no reason why I can't carry a life inside of me.' Five days later, she was pregnant again and chose to celebrate openly, maintaining her positive mindset throughout the pregnancy.

Questions This Episode Answers

Can you get pregnant naturally with a blocked fallopian tube

my right tube completely blocked. But my left tube works... I was visualizing just just an openness, just that my tube my right tube would become open and that my left side, it would start creating the eggs

Mel13:50

Yes, you can get pregnant naturally with one blocked fallopian tube if your other tube is functioning. Mel conceived naturally despite having a completely blocked right tube by working with her body through visualization and meditation.

How does obsessive fertility tracking affect conception chances

I became obsessed with monitoring my basal body temperature... I couldn't even wake up. I mean, I'd wake up in the middle of the night having to go to the bathroom, but I couldn't even let myself go to the bathroom because my basal body temperature would be off in the morning

Mel7:31

Obsessive fertility tracking can create energetic blocks that actually harm conception chances. The anxiety and control it creates can be more damaging than helpful for getting pregnant.

Can negative emotions block fertility and pregnancy

I had a big block of just the anger and resentment I was carrying around from the past... I would get up in the morning, and I would run forty five minutes in hopes that running would just release this anger, but it never did

Mel11:46

Yes, carrying anger, resentment and negative emotions can create physical constriction that blocks fertility. Releasing these emotions through forgiveness work can open up energy for conception.

How does gratitude help with fertility and getting pregnant

You can't be afraid if you're grateful and have joy. You just can't. You can't have those two emotions at the same time

Mel30:38

Gratitude eliminates fear, negativity and doubt because you cannot experience fear and gratitude simultaneously. Daily gratitude practices help maintain the positive emotional state that supports conception.

What are fertility affirmations and how do they work

your body hears what you tell it. Even if even if you're not speaking it out loud, if you're thinking, oh, my uterus is so stupid. I'm never gonna get pregnant. It's hostile. Whatever. Your body hears that, and it will react accordingly

Mel36:34

Fertility affirmations are positive statements about your body's ability to conceive. They work because your body hears and responds to your internal dialogue, so negative self-talk can create hostile conditions while positive affirmations support fertility.

How to know when to avoid fertility surgery and trust your intuition

my doctor said I could do I could keep going with treatments. Like, they could do exploratory surgery, all of that. And just my intuition just told me, no. I'm perfectly fine with what I have

Mel33:18

Higher consciousness through meditation can help you discern when medical recommendations feel right versus when your intuition guides you toward a different path. Trust the inner knowing that emerges from a calm, centered state.

  2. 2

    Picture your functioning reproductive parts working optimally. Mel visualized her left ovary creating eggs and her blocked tube opening.

  3. 3

  4. 4

    Connect to Life and Beauty

    Visualize yourself as part of the beauty and life around you - sunsets, mountains, flowers. Feel your connection to the life force.

  5. 5

    Trust Your Inner Knowing

    Use the clarity from meditation to make intuitive decisions about treatments and medical recommendations.

Obsessive cycle tracking can create energetic blocks that repel conception rather than support it

Perspectives 3

The more you track, monitor and control your fertility, the better your chances of conception

CONSIDER: Obsessive tracking and control can create energetic blocks that actually repel conception

Professional success strategies (planning for the worst, being negative to avoid failure) work for fertility too

CONSIDER: Glass-half-empty mindsets that create professional success actually repel babies and block fertility

Physical problems like blocked tubes require medical intervention and surgery

CONSIDER: You can work with your body's limitations through visualization and higher consciousness rather than rushing into invasive procedures
