Marina shares her 5-year fertility journey through 9 IVF cycles and 15 embryo transfers before conceiving naturally at 40 after working with fertility mindset coach Rosanne Austin.
Breakthroughs 1
Medical advocacy means taking control of your protocol instead of letting doctors make all decisions
Marina's successful cycle happened when she walked into clinic, took doctor's hand and dictated her own protocol, calling it 'success protocol' not 'panic protocol'
Teachings 4
Fear-based decision making sabotages fertility outcomes and must be replaced with joy and forward-focused visioning
Marina made fertility decisions from fear after friend's miscarriages, spent 5 years in fear-based protocols before conceiving at 40 when she reclaimed joy
Looking backward at failures keeps you stuck - you must envision your future success to manifest it
Marina was always looking backwards at failed cycles until she started visualizing herself with husband and two kids playing at beach, then conceived
Sometimes high-achieving women need to stop doing and just be to allow their bodies to conceive
Marina conceived during 6-day fever when she was forced to stay in bed and 'just be' for first time in 5 years of constant action
Age becomes irrelevant when you align your mindset - you can be more fertile at 40 than at 35
Marina had more embryo success at 40 after mindset work than at 35-36 when she started, getting multiple euploid embryos
Perspectives 1
You are the common denominator in your fertility journey - changing countries, clinics, and protocols won't work if you don't change yourself
Marina changed clinics multiple times across Italy, Spain and Brazil with same poor results until she changed her mindset approach
Quotable Moments 5
“We're completely missing that we are the common denominator. We're the common theme in all of this.”
— Rosanne Austin“Sometimes people like us, women like us, that we do a lot, like, we're always making things happen. Sometimes we just need to be.”
— Rosanne Austin“We are gonna do this. We are gonna do that. So I said everything it was like a complete protocol, like, with everything out there. And he said, you know what, Marina? We can do it, but that is the panic protocol. We only do this when we don't know what we're doing. And I said, but, clearly, nobody knows what they're doing. So I'm gonna do it my way, and we're not gonna call it the panic protocol. We are gonna call it the success protocol.”
— Marina“For the first time, I was looking forward of how I envisioned myself, how my life was gonna be. I saw myself with my husband and two kids playing at the beach. I've never done that. I was not always looking backwards.”
— Marina“At forty, I was having more success than I was having at thirty five, thirty six when I started the journey.”
