Krysten and Carson were rushed into IVF at 34 due to low AMH, endured failed IUIs and IVF with chemical pregnancy, then conceived naturally at 38 after taking a break and focusing on mindset work. Their son Finn was born healthy after they aligned with their values and released control.

Key Shift
Stopped focusing on trying to conceive 24/7, got back to being herself 100%, focused on being the best wife and version of herself
After
Could see pregnancy announcements as joy, knew her time was coming, living life fully again
Krysten and Carson began trying in May 2020, and after 7 months were told she had low AMH and needed IVF immediately. They spent over a year trying natural approaches first, then 3 medicated IUIs, followed by IVF cycles that yielded only one viable embryo each time and ultimately a chemical pregnancy.
After failed IVF, Krysten dove deep into Rosanne's teachings and attended an in-person breakthrough event in Houston in May 2023. This marked a turning point where she stopped being consumed by trying to conceive 24/7 and focused on being the best version of herself again.
In November 2023, during a cycle when Carson had COVID with high fever during ovulation, they conceived naturally without trying. Krysten's mindset had shifted to not caring about the outcome, and they were living their lives fully again after taking their delayed honeymoon to Italy.
Carson emphasized that husbands' energy matters tremendously since thoughts carry energy between partners. He practiced daily gratitude statements about their future children and stressed that men must be active participants rather than passive observers in the fertility journey.
“isn't it funny that you ended up not funny but, like, kind of ironic that you ended up being more fertile in your late thirties than you were even before your mid thirties”

Yes, natural conception is possible after failed IVF even with low AMH. Krysten was diagnosed with low AMH at 34, went through failed IUIs and IVF, but conceived naturally at 38 after focusing on mindset work and aligning with her true desires.
“That's when I really took the time to dive into your book, your program, into the podcast, and just really get my mind right”
— Krysten▶ 8:04
Conception timelines vary, but breakthrough moments can happen quickly when mindset shifts occur. Krysten attended an in-person breakthrough event in May 2023 and conceived naturally by November 2023, just 6 months later, after 5 years of struggling.
“thoughts are things, and they carry energy. And so you being all in with that as well is gonna have much more of an effect than you think”
— Carson▶ 18:42
Husbands' energy and beliefs directly impact fertility outcomes. Carson emphasized that thoughts are things that carry energy, and since partners sleep next to each other every night, being an active participant with positive belief rather than sitting back passively makes a difference.
“we needed to take a break and really kind of reset. That's when I really took the time to dive into your book, your program, into the podcast, and just really get my mind right and not be so focused on trying to conceive twenty four seven”
— Krysten▶ 7:34
Taking breaks can be beneficial when you've lost sight of who you are. Krysten and Carson took a break after failed IVF, went on their delayed honeymoon, focused on their relationship and joy, then conceived naturally when they stopped trying so intensively.
“Carson actually got COVID, and it happened right during our ovulation window. And I was just thinking to myself, doesn't matter. It doesn't even matter”
— Krysten▶ 9:06
Yes, conception can occur even when conditions seem unfavorable. Krysten conceived naturally the month Carson had COVID with over 100-degree fever during their ovulation window, showing that releasing attachment to perfect conditions can lead to success.
“my ladies are Internet famous for absolutely blowing past those statistics and, frankly, making them irrelevant”
— Rosanne Austin▶ 1:42
While medical statistics focus on treatment failure rates, many women do conceive naturally after failed IVF when they address mindset and align with their true desires. Krysten is one example of natural conception at 38 after failed IVF at a younger age.
Carson's practical advice for men on being an active participant rather than passive observer in their fertility journey
Examine Your Own Beliefs
Recognize that your thoughts and energy directly affect your partner since you sleep next to each other every night. Address any doubts or fears you're carrying.
Practice Gratitude Visualization
Write daily gratitude statements about your future children in past tense, like 'I'm grateful for my kids. I love them so much' to claim that energy.
Find Male Support
Connect with other men going through fertility journeys for conversations and camaraderie, whether on the golf course or through other friendships.
Be Actively Supportive
Don't sit back passively thinking your part is done. Be an active participant in the emotional and energetic aspects of the journey.
Trust the Process
Develop a sense of knowing that it will happen rather than attachment to specific timelines or methods. Get out of the way and let the universe work.
Women can become more fertile in their late thirties than they were in their mid-thirties, regardless of medical predictions
Krysten was told she had low AMH and diminished ovarian reserve at 34, but conceived naturally at 38 after years of failed treatments, proving fertility can improve with age and mindset work.
When couples align with their true values rather than medical pressure, conception often follows naturally
Krysten and Carson felt pushed into IVF but it didn't align with their values. When they returned to wanting natural conception, took their honeymoon, and released control, they conceived naturally even with Carson having COVID during ovulation.
Men's energy and belief directly impacts fertility outcomes through their daily thoughts and practices
Carson wrote daily gratitude statements saying 'I'm grateful for my kids' in past tense before conception, claiming that energy. He emphasized that husbands' thoughts are things that carry energy and affect their partners sleeping next to them every night.
Stepping out of familiar environments into new spaces accelerates breakthrough moments
Krysten attended Rosanne's in-person event in Houston in May 2023, had major breakthroughs getting out of her environment, then conceived naturally by November 2023 - just 6 months later.
Community with women who understand the fertility journey is essential for emotional healing
Carson observed that Krysten's friends who weren't struggling couldn't provide the same energy as the Fearlessly Fertile community. He noted her energy shift after every call and said having a safe space without judgment or pity was priceless.
Pregnancy announcements become sources of joy rather than triggers when mindset shifts occur
Krysten described how after her mindset work, she could finally see a pregnancy announcement and think 'that's amazing, so happy for them' and know her time was coming, instead of crying like before.
Taking breaks from trying to conceive can lead to natural conception when couples realign with themselves
After 3 years of treatments, Krysten and Carson took a break, went on their delayed honeymoon to Italy, focused on being themselves again, and conceived naturally during the cycle when Carson had COVID and they weren't focused on trying.
Failed IVF cycles can be reframed as wins when viewed through the lens of possibility rather than loss
When Krysten's first embryo transfer was cancelled due to lining issues, she applied Rosanne's teaching that 'every little thing is a win' - getting the egg was a win, timing issues didn't mean it wouldn't work, just meant trying again.

CONSIDER: Fertility can improve with age when mind and body are aligned, and natural conception remains possible even after failed IVF
“When treatments fail, you must keep trying more aggressive medical interventions”
CONSIDER: Sometimes stepping back and realigning with your true desires creates the conditions for natural conception
“my ladies are Internet famous for absolutely blowing past those statistics and, frankly, making them irrelevant”
“thoughts are things, and they carry energy. And so you being all in with that as well is gonna have much more of an effect than you think”
“my baby deserves the best version of me, which is me being me one hundred percent”
“the desire in your heart to your mom is there because it's meant for you”
“once you let go of those attachments, you know, magical things can happen”
