Dr. Lucy was told she was in menopause at 31 with an FSH over 100 and undetectable AMH, given less than 10% chance of natural conception. She conceived naturally and is now 37+ weeks pregnant with her baby boy after implementing mindset work, holistic approaches, and refusing to be defined by statistics.

Key Shift

After
Confident in her body's ability, celebrating each period as proof she wasn't broken, talking to baby as real
Dr. Lucy's fertility journey began when she stopped having periods three months before her wedding in 2017. Despite having regular cycles her entire life, medical testing revealed FSH over 100, undetectable AMH, and low estrogen - numbers that indicated menopause at just 31 years old. Reproductive endocrinologists gave her less than 10% chance of natural conception and immediately suggested donor eggs.
As an emergency medicine physician, Lucy understood exactly what her devastating numbers meant, which initially made accepting the diagnosis even more difficult. Her medical training had taught her to rely on statistics and lab values, but she realized this approach wouldn't serve her fertility journey. She had to learn to trust her inner knowing over her medical education.
After returning from her honeymoon, Lucy made a decisive choice to approach her fertility journey 'with full vengeance.' She assembled her 'bump squad' including acupuncturists, massage therapists, and fertility mindset coaching. Most importantly, she stopped retesting her FSH and AMH levels because she realized the numbers were creating fear rather than helping her heal.
Lucy discovered that her vitamin D levels were in the twenties when fertility requires levels over 50, and her TSH was 3.3 when fertility requires 1-2. After starting 100,000 units of vitamin D weekly and Synthroid for thyroid support, combined with her mindset work and holistic approaches, she conceived naturally within two months.
As a physician trained to be in constant masculine energy, Lucy had to learn to step into her feminine power. She gave up leadership roles at work, incorporated regular massage and acupuncture, and learned to make space for receiving rather than always doing. This energetic shift was crucial for her conception.
Lucy treated her future baby as already real, talking to him during acupuncture sessions and showing him around their new five-bedroom home. She and her husband bought expandable strollers and made concrete preparations for not just one baby, but multiple children. This level of commitment and visualization created a powerful energetic pull.
After 18 months of comprehensive mind-body work, Lucy conceived naturally and is now 37+ weeks pregnant with the baby boy she visualized. Her story proves that even the most dire fertility statistics don't have to become your reality when you're willing to do the deep work of transformation and refuse to be defined by numbers.
“My FSH was over a hundred. My anti malarial hormone was undetectable. My estrogen was very low, and all my numbers added up to I was in menopause... we were told that our chances of having a natural child would be less than ten percent.”

Yes, natural conception is possible even with extremely high FSH. Dr. Lucy had an FSH over 100 and undetectable AMH at 31, was told she was in menopause with less than 10% chance of natural conception, but conceived naturally and delivered a healthy baby boy.
“I started Synthroid, and I started mega doses of vitamin d. And by my by mega, I was, like, on a hundred thousand units a week... within two months, we were pregnant.”
— Lucy▶ 28:29
Focus on optimizing your overall health rather than fixating on AMH numbers. Lucy had undetectable AMH but conceived naturally by optimizing vitamin D levels to over 50, correcting thyroid function, using visualization, and refusing to let the numbers define her outcome.
“vitamin d, I'm a big proponent. Whoever's listening is checking to get your vitamin d levels checked because ninety percent of us are gonna be low. And for fertility, they want you over fifty”
— Lucy▶ 27:29
For fertility, vitamin D levels should be over 50, which is higher than standard medical ranges. Many women are deficient without knowing it. Lucy's levels were in the low twenties when she needed them over 50 for optimal fertility.
“I said no because those numbers don't mean anything... I don't care if it's one. I don't care if it's a hundred and ten. To me, it's like I know how I feel, and I started feeling better.”
— Lucy▶ 25:06
Not necessarily. Once you have baseline information, obsessing over retesting can create more fear and anxiety. Lucy stopped retesting her FSH and AMH because the numbers were causing her to live in fear rather than focusing on how her body actually felt.
“I talked to the baby. Like, the baby was there... this is gonna be your room. I'm doing this with my work schedule. We're making more time. Just, you know, feel free to come whenever you want.”
— Lucy▶ 36:12
Talk to your baby as if they're already real, show them their room, and make concrete space for them in your life. Lucy visualized her baby boy during every acupuncture session, decorated his room, and told him about the space they were creating for him.
“So those numbers, I knew what they meant... it almost felt like it was solidifying what those statistics meant, and it made them more real... but I just knew in my heart of hearts that this was gonna work.”
— Lucy▶ 7:01
Yes, even medical professionals can overcome dire fertility diagnoses. Dr. Lucy, an emergency medicine physician, was told she was in menopause at 31 but conceived naturally by applying mindset work alongside medical optimization and holistic approaches.
Dr. Lucy's comprehensive approach to overcoming severe fertility challenges naturally
Stop retesting numbers that create fear
Once you have baseline information, focus on how your body feels rather than obsessing over lab values that can create anxiety and self-sabotage.
Optimize fertility-specific nutrient levels
Get vitamin D over 50 (not just 'normal' range) and TSH between 1-2 for fertility (not just under 4.5). Lucy took 100,000 units of vitamin D weekly.
Create physical space for your baby
Make concrete preparations like decorating the baby's room, buying appropriate housing, and reducing work responsibilities to demonstrate your commitment.
Practice daily visualization
Talk to your baby during quiet moments like acupuncture sessions, show them around their future home, and treat them as already real.
Build your support team carefully
Only work with practitioners who believe in your vision, regardless of their credentials. Fire anyone who doesn't support your goals.
Address both masculine and feminine energy
Balance taking action (testing, treatments, lifestyle changes) with receiving practices (massage, acupuncture, surrendering control).
Statistics don't define your fertility destiny - you can refuse to let numbers become your truth and still conceive naturally against all odds
Dr. Lucy had an FSH over 100 and undetectable AMH at age 31, was told she was in menopause with less than 10% chance of natural conception, but conceived naturally and is now 37+ weeks pregnant with her baby boy.
Stepping into your feminine power and releasing control is essential for conception - you can't masculine your way to a baby
Dr. Lucy, an emergency medicine physician, had to learn to step out of her masculine survival mode and into her feminine by giving up leadership roles, incorporating massage and acupuncture, and making space for the baby in her life.
Visualization and talking to your baby as if they're already real creates a powerful energetic connection that supports conception
Lucy visualized her baby boy during every acupuncture session, talked to him, showed him his room, and told him they were making space for him - and conceived the exact baby boy she visualized.
Comprehensive fertility optimization includes checking vitamin D levels and thyroid function beyond standard ranges
Lucy discovered her vitamin D was in the low twenties when fertility requires levels over 50, and her TSH was 3.3 when fertility requires 1-2. After starting 100,000 units weekly of vitamin D and Synthroid, she conceived within two months.
You must be willing to fire providers who don't believe in your vision, regardless of their credentials or reputation
Dr. Lucy, despite being a physician herself, let go of medical providers who didn't support her natural conception goals and only worked with practitioners who believed in her body's ability to conceive naturally.
Physical symptoms and how you feel in your body are more important indicators than lab numbers
Lucy stopped getting her FSH and AMH retested because she realized those numbers didn't matter - she knew her body was healing because her hot flashes stopped, her energy returned, and she felt less grumpy.
Making space for your baby in your physical environment and life circumstances demonstrates your commitment and belief
Lucy and her husband bought a five-bedroom house when it was just the two of them, decorated the baby's room, bought expandable strollers for future babies, and she reduced her work responsibilities to make time for the baby.
Negative pregnancy tests don't mean failure - they mean 'not right now' and are opportunities to make adjustments
Lucy went through multiple negative pregnancy tests, including one where she was 42 days late and certain she was pregnant, but she reframed each negative as 'not our time' rather than failure, and conceived the following month.

“Professional women must stay in masculine energy to succeed”
CONSIDER: Conception requires stepping into feminine receptivity and releasing the need to control everything
“I don't care if it's one. I don't care if it's a hundred and ten. To me, it's like I know how I feel, and I started feeling better. I started not having the hot flashes. I started having more energy. I started being, you know, less grumpy. And so I knew without any of those numbers being, you know, retested that I was that I was doing better.”
“I was like, you know what? I'm gonna put it all on a table. I have nothing to lose but everything to gain. So I kinda went in it completely headstrong and just tackled it from every avenue that I could.”
“I just knew in my heart of hearts that this was gonna work. I didn't know when it was gonna work, but I knew it would, at some point, work. It had to.”
“I told her to just listen to her truth that's in her heart, and no one can take that away. No statistic, no physician, no, you know, no one.”
“I talked to the baby. Like, the baby was there, which is what, you know, you told me. I was like, you know what? This is gonna be your room. I'm doing this with my work schedule. We're making more time. Just, you know, feel free to come whenever you want.”
