Is there a way to speed up your #fertilityjourney? #ttc #ttcover40 #1in8 #fertility #ttcsupport
Rosanne Austin and Chris Axelrod address whether women can speed up their fertility journey, exploring both mindset shifts and practical approaches while debunking common misconceptions.
Breakthroughs 1
Having a baby at 43 was way better than it could have been in late 30s because of who I had to become - the timing was perfect
Rosanne Austin conceived naturally at 43 after years of fertility struggles
Teachings 3
Beta endorphin is one of the most abundant compounds in follicular fluid, making joy and good feelings a biological imperative for egg quality
Scientific studies analyzing follicular fluid show beta endorphin as most abundant compound
Taking a shotgun approach to supplements can actually cancel out benefits - some supplements work against each other, creating net zero or negative effects
Royal jelly/maca boost estrogen while DIM helps metabolize estrogen, canceling each other out
The fundamentals - water, sleep, intentional eating, and mindset - matter more than complex protocols, especially as you get older
Chris emphasizes patients must master 8-9 hours sleep and proper hydration before advanced interventions
Perspectives 2
The pressure to speed up your fertility journey is often based on a false premise - questioning whether you actually need to hurry is the first step to clarity
2017 census data shows women having babies in their 40s increased exponentially while 30s decreased, and women in their 50s having babies remained steady
You can't make yourself ready for pregnancy through force - you have to become ready by living fully today and focusing on the process rather than outcome
Music analogy - focusing on performance results prevents beautiful music; same applies to fertility

Can you speed up your fertility journey
“there are no shortcuts but there is a straight path right so you may not you know there so in other words the straight path is the fastest way to get there from point a to point b it's a straight line”
— Rosanne Austin
There are no shortcuts, but you can create a straighter path by working with professionals, focusing on fundamentals (sleep, water, mindset), and avoiding the shotgun approach to treatments and supplements.
What foods help with implantation during two week wait
“just make sure you don't eat any legos and you'll be fine”
— Chris Axelrod
It's not about warm vs. cold foods - that's superstition. Use common sense, don't eat anything extreme that would upset your stomach, and remember that healthy pregnancies are much less fragile than people think.
How to increase uterine lining naturally
“you can't make you can't you don't know if the lining is why you're not getting pregnant you know there's no definitive proof that the lining has to be of a certain thickness”
— Chris Axelrod
Don't assume thin lining is preventing pregnancy - there's no definitive proof of required thickness since we don't measure every successful pregnancy. Focus on fundamentals and consult experts rather than self-diagnosing.
