My Fertility Plan (In My Forties)

[@kelligerber]

Wow! What an encouragement! I totally know the Lord led me to your page. I have two children from my younger years, but have a strong desire in my heart for more. My husband and I have been married for 3.5 years now, he is 45, I am 46. I changed my diet when we married to eat real food and take supplements to help my body. I still have a regular cycle, so I know my body is able to be fruitful, but sometimes the thoughts and opinions of this world come at me to discourage me. Thank you, LB, for your encouragement! I am so excited to give my husband biological children!!

I had 2 babies in my early 40s. No pregnancy problems. No baby problems, AT HOME then breastfed My 3 older babies were at home & BF too 40s are a GREAT time to have babies! Even late 40s! Get blessed! Have babies! I think going from homeschooling to golden years is awesome - no empty years of what now till gkids come & my kids need help! Nothing more precious than relationships with family & close friends ❤️

I agree with your sentiments wholeheartedly. I’m glad to have found your video. We’ve been trying for 8 years and am now in my forties but not giving up. The lack of faith among Christians around me is astounding and has hurt me greatly. I’m getting over it and learning to take God’s word, not others. It’s refreshing to hear faith from another Christian here! We were on the carnivore diet for two years and I actually felt miserable. It also tanked my husband’s swimmers… we don’t know what they were before but they were back to normal when we started eating “normal” again. Which at the time was more like a Ray Peat diet. Now I feel like the Lord had led us to implement fresh milled whole grains. The carnivore diet is essentially grounded in an evolution world view, whereas the Bible is full of references to bread. This podcast really opened my eyes to the nutrition of whole grains. I believe it’s the missing link in our nutrition. One slice of whole grain bread provides 100% of daily requirement of vitamin E. Nothing else provides this amount. Vitamin E is anti inflammatory and thickens the uterine lining. Grains are also essential for the fermentation in your gut that produces tons of B vitamins. I’d encourage you to listen to this podcast and then you might be inspired to watch her 3 hour video called “Bread - the staff of life” or something like that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5fVYa2po9J4kKMsi=jJHrPDdyDITpdUR7

You're so right. The attack on family is fierce!! I had my babies 15 months apart and I keep getting fed content that you should wait 3-5 years between pregnancies 🙄 and yet, with proper supplementation, my third pregnancy was definitely my smoothest and healthiest!!

[@leslie__burris]

this! I feel the same way!

[@FarmhouseHarvest]

Great chat… Thanks for sharing! I had my last baby a month before I turned 40… It was the best labor and delivery out of 6! And he is the best…. Now just to stay healthy enough to see him raise a family!

[@MrsDoubleDW]

I'll be 35 in October and have 4 kiddos (7, 5, 2, and 8 months). I would love to have more babies and am open to it. My husband however has ADHD and it has been difficult for him to adjust with each addition to our family. We had lots of open talks and he is such a good dad. Praying that God's will be done and is glorified in all that our family does!

[@leslie__burris]

The noise levels get wild, for sure! We infuse our day with quiet times and breaks for this very reason! Praying for you guys! 🥹🫶🏻

[@fittestcore]

Your story is so amazing 👏🏼Forever in awe of and inspired by you, LB!

[@TJ-hw5tb]

This is the first video I've ever watched of yours, and wow what an encouragement! First of all you look amazing, and the peace you have radiates from you. I'm 37, and I was a young mom. I currently have two children ages 16 and 20 and am considering having one more. It has been on my heart for some time now, but fear of starting over, the state of the world, and daycare prices 😅 have kind of kept me paralyzed. I have prayed to God about this diligently and have received multiple signs that this is the way to go. My husband who I've been married to since September is also on board. Last month,we made the choice to get off birth control and I've started tracking my ovulation. I love what you said about going all in with your love and faith, at this point it is in God's hands!

[@leslie__burris]

Oh my word I'm so excited for you! Last week, my husband sent me a reel and it was a story about a man who was 102, and his oldest child was 82 and his youngest child was 36. He had seven girls and nine boys and they spend over 46 years. That story made such a mark on my heart because it made me realize that his oldest and his youngest would never ever be close in age, but it made me question if that was ever the purpose to begin with. Perhaps it was always fruitful. That was the idea and loving your family really well. I cannot wait to hear when you get pregnant! Welcome to this space, sweet friend .

[@TJ-hw5tb]

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing that lovely story! I appreciate the perspective regarding being fruitful because the general consensus seems to be that it's crazy to start over after so many years, especially with the state of the world. I will keep you posted ❤️

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

My son & dil turn 41 this month I wish they had ur outlook twd babies. Their only child was a conception miracle when they were 24 and then a pregnancy miracle. Within 5 yrs they said nope, no more. I was flabbergasted. Fools.

[@EE-hi4re]

Older mom here. When it comes to this topic, I turn off all the noise. I don’t tell anyone when we're trying to conceive and when we're pregnant and I don't listen to their advice either. I do me. The unassisted free birth of my first child made me finally feel like a woman. I felt like I took my power back as a woman, as the world hands their power over to men who are good at surgery (aka OBGYNs). The world views labor as an emergency but it is something that has been done since the beginning of time. We are amazing. Our bodies are miracles and we can grow miracles. I pray all women of every age understands this.

[@TheMennomilist]

Totally trying to conceive after having my third child at 39 (I am 40 now, just a few months away from 41), so I get it. I enjoyed this as I work towards the idea of trying for a fourth baby. I tell people all the time that I am going to live to 90 like my great-grandmothers did (all who had babies in their 40s). I got pregnant my last time with a cyst on an ovary. My baby grew in the ovary with the cyst (which shrunk while pregnant). I got my blood tested for my hormones and such before my last pregnancy and everything was good. Yey for fitness! I work out each day too and hear that strength training is good for us 40s people. I love that you processed all your births! I wish you success!

[@leslie__burris]

Sometimes i feel gaslit over "fertile forties" because it seems so demonized. But then i remember women have cycles into their 60's! The older I get, the more I enjoy pregnancy 🤭 Let's goooooo!

[@angelaserna4045]

This Video is so Encouraging! It is in Good Timing! I am 48. I had my Tubes Tied at 32 after my 4th baby. I have Repented and Asked The Lord for forgiveness! About 4 years ago it came to my husband about me getting a Tubal Reversal,because of health reasons. I have a very detached Testimony about A Great Healing The Lord has done in Me, Spiritually,Mentally and Physically. I haven’t had the Tubal Reversal. It just came up for Me a few months ago about having it done,The Desire to have more Children! I am asking for Prayer! That is Definitely that Lord is Telling Me to do!

[@TheMennomilist]

​@@angelaserna4045 My last baby was a vasectomy reversal baby because my husband and I were pressured in our mid twenties after our first two kids to stop having so many back to back. . .and after a year we regretted it but spent 9 years saving for the reversal before it finally happened and then it took nearly 4 years before I got pregnant. I was 25 with my second baby and 39 with my third being born. . and as stated earlier, now we want a fourth and hopefully I'll get pregnant again. I get this feeling that you have about your tubes being tied since it is a similar situation. I will say that it is a lot harder of a surgery to reverse tubes than a vasectomy reversal, let alone having the ability to have a successful baby after tubal reversal at 48, but I am sure there is still a chance. . .I am sure an actual doctor you would see about it would have better information on the situation. May God give you peace no matter the outcome though.

[@meganle9172]

I have 2 sweet babies that are miracles. I too was told I would never naturally conceive and God proved medicine wrong. Praying for more babies and doing the work to get my body right after years of neglect.

[@leslie__burris]

Prayed for you just now as you do things in faith! ❤

[@hargrovegeneralgoods]

Love you LB! I'm so glad you are healing! 🎉 I would love for you to get on the Super Gut train. I think it will change your life.

[@melmax788]

Never considered fertility a resource to steward. Wow. My husband and I discussed your pod ideas re: 1 Corinth 7:5. Figured black towels and black sheets would be a funny way to signal to him “dead bedroom.” Fortunately he agreed! I supplement with fresh beef liver, heart, and kidney! My body must need them because the taste is honestly appealing to me. I was so excited to show my mom and sister the massive cow organs I had in my freezer. What I said was, “it’s ok/it’s not weird! I’m not doing witchcraft anymore, I’m just eating them.” I don’t think they found that as funny as I did. Also crediting the Lion diet & full dosing of Ancestral Supplements Female Enhancement with helping me get pregnant again at 32. Unfortunately it was a loss but my church has a lot of real women that were super supportive. I hope they serve beef liver in the old folks home. My great grandma lived to 105. Mind sharp as a tack into her late 90’s. Absolute goals.

[@leslie__burris]

You know, I bet if I'd give myself some time to taste it and eat it, I might grow to like it and crave it! It's just getting over the hump that feels so daunting😂😂😂 Yeah, I have my eyes on longevity, too, and I'm so thankful for people like you who have such an optimistic view of family and growth. Makes me feel less alone😊

Is there a new code for Paleovalley beef organ pills for Black Friday??? I need a new discount code! 😅

[@HomesteadHealing]

Thank you! Great information. I'd love to know all of the suppliments you take, not just for fertility, but just in general. What supplements do you take? I'm in my 40s, and I'd love more energy. I know I should exercise more, I'm eating well, but I'm still so tired most days. Thank you!

[@leslie__burris]

Oh sure! I really try to keep it simple. I have a couple supplements i do 4 times a year, and then have daily staple and keep those SIMPLE. Daily: Beef organs (multivitamin) Super B (b vitamin) Magnesium Creatine Quarterly : Radiation binders Toxin binders Twice a year parasite cleanse There have been seasons where I felt i needed more collagen and greens and such, but this is what I'm doing right now. ❤

[@mariswanson1558]

​@leslie__burris can you talk about radiation binders? I can feel the energy draining out of me when I'm around high levels of radiation and I think that would help. I'm also curious about parasite cleanses. I haven't tried that yet....

[@shultersfamilyvlogs5844]

Where do you get your super b?

[@withlove_tish]

​@@leslie__burrisI'm curious about the binders as well! Would love more info about the ones you take.

Can you tell me about the diffuser tray? I need to find one

[@LindseyLunceford-p9c]

I just found out I am pregnant with baby #2, and I’m curious if the beef organ complex is a sufficient replacement to a prenatal? I’ve been taking it for over a year and love it, and don’t feel the need to take a prenatal, but was curious of your opinion. Thank you!

[@leslie__burris]

I personally double the beef organs as my prenatal - but as always, consult with your doc! :) CONGRATULATIONS!!! How are you feeling?!

I love your outlook on life, Momma LB! Do you have a link for your pedometer?

[@mariswanson1558]

I've been trying to get pregnant since the day I got married 4 years ago. (Age 42 now.) I've lost count how many pregnancies I've lost. I've tried everything to fix it (including supplementing enormous amounts of progesterone, elimination diets, and many, many other things), and nothing works. Pregnancies last no more than 4 days. It's heartbreaking. Can you tell me where to find the oyster capsules you mentioned?

[@13kisska]

Try taking Ubiquinol for 4 months. It got me pregnant after 2 years of trying and a failed IVF cycle. You need to improve egg quality. Also get checked out to rule out any polyps and scars in the uterus. It maybe impeding implantation

[@leslie__burris]

Oh sweet one, I'm so sorry to hear this. Please don't defer your hope or quit on your desires. 42 is still very young and your body always wants to heal itself. (in fact, if you accidentally cut your finger while you were cooking in the kitchen today, it would begin to bleed and scab over and start healing, which is big time evidence that your body is regenerative and it wants to do what it was designed to do) Here is a link to the oysters that my chiropractor friend uses www.saturee.com.au/collections/supplements-1/products/pure-oyster?variant=39798841770072 I know you're going to stumble upon something that makes everything click. I'm gonna put you on my prayer list!
