     In this video, we’ll take a closer look at what the research really says about fertility and getting pregnant "later" in life. Plus, we’ll explore some ways to naturally increase your fertility in your 30s. No matter if you’re in your early, mid, or late 30s, it’s never too late to optimize your fertility and increase your chances of conceiving.
If you’re anything like most of my clients (and me), you always imagined you’d be a mom one day. You always planned it would happen someday, but somehow, time slipped by a little faster than you expected. Maybe it was grad school or pursuing your dream career. Or maybe, it was the desire to travel or not finding a partner until later in life. Whatever the reason, babies were on the back burner. And now, you’re in your 30s and wondering if it’s too late.
I have good news for you, it’s not. Improving your fertility is possible in your 30s (and 40s).

I am currently single and in my early thirties although not currently planning to conceive yet, I think learning and looking after myself to prepare for the future health wise is something I am going to prioritise in 2022

[@LindsayJillian]

Thank you for this. I began TTC at 28. I am 34 now. No known causes, we have been told unexplained infertility. It can be hard cycle after cycle and being in my 30s adds the biological pressure which then adds stress. Even though I have heard the tips you shared before, your calming approach to the subject is refreshing. I appreciated the statistics you shared.

[@LiveFertile]

Hi there! You're welcome. I'm sorry to hear your journey to conception has been longer than I'm sure you had originally hoped. I'm sending you all the hugs and well-wishes! 🤗

I had that "maybe we want kids" conversation with my primary care physician, and no red flags were raised, even after telling him that I go MONTHS without seeing my period. Finally, after a year of trying, then COVID hitting the country, I got referred to a fertility clinic, then was finally diagnosed with PCOS another year later. Oof. I feel like the healthcare system failed me. Thanks for publishing content that will help women take control of their fertility. We really need to be our own advocates.

[@LiveFertile]

I'm so sorry you had that experience. That's so frustrating. I'm happy to hear you eventually got a diagnosis though. I hope now that you know what is going on, you're able to get the type of care and information you deserve and need.

[@LiveFertile]

Your gynecologist sounds great! I love that he emphasized the importance of stress management. Yoga, meditation, walks in nature, physical activity, journaling, spending time doing things you enjoy, and spending time with people you enjoy are good places to start. Of course, you don't have to do it all. Find what you're drawn to and curious about and start there. This video has more details: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5DJZWqkrKeAlZI

Hi there, Priyanka! Hmmm... This video doens't contain any yoga posese though I do talk about yoga as a way to support fertility (along with many other health-promoting practices). There are so many things that affect fertility, it's impossible to say that one thing alone will cause someone to conceive. I'm wishing you the best.

Sis..my irregular periods ,pcos ,loge time continue periods..plz solution want🙏

[@LiveFertile]

Hi there 👋🏾 I’m sorry to hear you haven’t found relief from your PCOS symptoms. I hope the videos I share provide some guidance. My advice is to work with your personal health care providers to address your concerns. I’m wishing you all the best!

[@alesiasinspiration]

What you eat is #1. If it's processed, heavy dairy, & meats, and excessive (meaning you eat all throughout the day) dis ease begins there. We must be active and gentle with our bodies so yoga, dancing, slow light weight lifting helps a lot (this must be regular - every other day.) Your quality of sleep matters. Going to be earlier, turning off screens at least an hour prior. And getting into the pattern of stress relief(through therapy, meditation, massage, whatever relaxes you,) and you can also speak with a Chinese medicine practitioner or accupuncturist/herbalist if you feel your medical team isn't being as helpful as you'd like. I hope your journey blossoms and ascends.
