    How I Got Pregnant After Infertility

    Hi! I’m Anna Rapp, MBA, MPPA, a journalist and founder of this website, and I’m glad you’re here! I’m passionate about fertility, wellness, and non-toxic living. I struggled with infertility and recurrent miscarriage and was diagnosed with High FSH, low AMH, endometriosis, low follicle count, endometriosis, and an MTHFR mutation. Despite being told donor eggs were my only option, I put my graduate school training in research science to work and read everything from scholarly articles on cutting-edge fertility research to Eastern medicine handbooks to spiritual and religious texts. I made over 79 changes to my lifestyle and diet and became happier and healthier. Ultimately, I lowered my FSH, and got pregnant naturally– twice. This blog shares my research and fertility journey in the hopes that yours is easier!
