Questions This Video Answers
How should women over 40 approach fertility with low success statistics?
“if you're staring down the barrel of being forty seven, you have point five percent chance of getting and staying pregnant. Can you really afford to mess around with being reasonable? I don't think so.”
— Rosanne Austin
Embrace strategic 'delusion' rather than being realistic. When facing statistics like 0.5% chance at 47, being reasonable means giving up. Successful women think beyond limitations and refuse to be governed by statistics or others' opinions.
What mindset do successful fertility clients have in common?
“Every single one of those women had to be a little DeLulu in order to keep going on this journey. And you know what? Every single one of them are holding babies today”
— Rosanne Austin
They all had to be 'delusional' to keep going beyond what others considered reasonable. They stopped playing by other people's rules and refused to let statistics or medical opinions dominate their decisions.
Why does being realistic hurt fertility success?
“when you are in a place of being absolutely under the tyranny of what's reasonable, what is quote unquote responsible and realistic, you're not going to make the moves that you need to make in order to make this dream come true”
— Rosanne Austin
Being realistic means accepting average, mediocre outcomes and other people's limitations. It prevents making the bold moves necessary to achieve extraordinary results like pregnancy against difficult odds.
