When I started this blog it was because I wanted to share ALL THE THINGS I did to get happy, healthy, and pregnant! I wanted to type them up in detail and put them on the internet, free of charge for anyone to access! Here’s the problem- I can’t write them fast enough! My blog has been up for about a year now, and I only have 19 posts up! Since I can’t seem to provide all the details in a timely manner, I decided I would go ahead and just write a list of ALL THE THINGS. This list has everything I did- eliminating toxins, the diet, the mind-body work, and other lifestyle changes. After 2 years of infertility from high FSH, low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve, endometriosis, MTHFR mutation, and recurrent miscarriages, it took LESS THAN THREE MONTHS of doing all of these changes to get pregnant naturally. What are you waiting for? Download the list for free today! Just fill out the form above this post!
Renee says
I do not want emails. Just the list.
Anna says
Hi Renee! I understand it can be frustrating to have your inbox overloaded! As soon as you confirm subscription the pdf downloads. Save it to your computer. Then you can unsubscribe from the welcome email you’ll get (unsubscribe link is at the bottom). Then you’ll never get a single one again. I hope you enjoy my list and that it helps you on your baby journey! Baby dust!
Tairah says
I’m not getting an email either 🙁
Anna says
sorry about that! I just emailed you!
Ma says
Does the mailing list/this list still work? Nothing in email or spam.
Anna says
Yes, still works! Give it 15 minutes and maybe double check you submitted your email address right! If you still don’t see anything use the contact button to send me a message!
Denice says
It’s really amazing what you’re doing here, by sharing your story and all that you did. I read your list, it’s quite intense. Although I won’t be doing all of it, I’m definitely changing my diet and adding that green smoothie to my day. ?? It works!
Anna says
Denice,
I know its a ton!! Find what works for you, and leave what doesn’t :-). Best wishes, and baby dust!!

Kelly Collins says
Thanks for this list Anna! I have unexplained infertility, eventually did IVF for my daughter whose 9 months but hoping maybe we might be able to get pregnant naturally this time around. We miscarried after our first IVF attempt due to trisomy 15, then tested our remaining embryos and they were fine so I’m not sure I have an egg quality issue. All I know is I had a hard time getting my uterine lining thick enough for our FET, so I’m thinking it could be a blood-related issue so I’m definitely going to up it on the iron. Unfortunately I had blood clots after my c-section so I can’t take estrogen, so I’m hoping a fertility diet rich in iron will make a difference!
Anna says
You are so welcome Kelly! Best wishes for improving your uterine lining! Look into yoga (legs up the wall), red raspberry tea (see my herbal infusion recipe), and acupuncture, especially! Baby dust! Anna
Renata says
Thanks for this. I haven’t been to the doctor yet but my period is acting funny and I’m 35 and have sarcoidosis that is dormant due to lifestyle changes ( diet) so this gave me peace. I’m going to change my diet more to increase my chances of children with or without a husband.
Anna says
Baby dust honey! Wishing you the best!
julia says
i am doing many of the things on your list. i read that spirulina is good for fertility, and like you i have a high fsh. however, i’ve also heard that spirulina can be contaminated with heavy metals. did you encounter this or find a spirulina that was contaminant-free? thanks
Anna says
Agreed. I lost like a month of my life to the spirulina google rabbit hole! I finally decided that 1- I would not take it unless I needed to (i.e., while trying to conceive) and 2- I would only take on that was as safe as possible. I finally decided on Earthrise because the way they make the spirulina seemed the safest and least likely to be contaminated. I like Hawaiian Pacific also but I was worried about anything from Fukishima. I’m not paid by either and have received nothing free. This is the one I use- https://amzn.to/2GOaUlI
Best wishes!

Thank you for sharing this extensive research. It can be a daunting task to be on a difficult TTC journey. I love that I have this reference website. I am 36 and started TTC in February. At the same time, my periods started being irregular like late by few days or even early. I saw an OBGYN in May as I was really worried. It turns out I have an abnormal AMH for my age- 0.13 and high FSH – 18.3. I’m told my chances of getting pregnant by even ivf are next to nothing as these numbers indicate Menopause. For past year I have worked over 70 hrs a week. I started cutting back on it since June. I try to workout 3-4 times a week, I want to get to a healthy BMI (I’m right at the baseline for obese so yea!), I cook for myself, I buy from the farmers market and I am trying to clean out my home. I have miles to go even to be fit but I’m trying to adopt discipline. I also saw another doctor and he said that I will have to go to donor route. I have not even thought about that. I’m repeating my tests this week, doing the HSG and other tests again. I am also trying to find a good acupuncturist. I hope things work out for me. I do not know how long this journey will be but im trying to stay positive.
Anna Rapp says
Shujo,
I am wishing you all the baby dust on your journey!! It sounds like you are working so hard and doing a great job!!!! Stay the course and let me know when you meet your baby!!

Hi Anna,
I am excited to have come across your amazing blog! Thank you for the very thorough list of 79 things to get pregnant. I have a long while to go to adopt the list of things you recommend, but I have been doing a few like the acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, yoga, visualization, meditation etc. We have been trying to conceive for many years and I am now 39. We have 4 failed medicated iuis and I have recently decided that I don’t want to do ivf and I want to take the nature’s path. I know I am running out of time but I have decided that I am fine either way at this point, as long as I don’t put myself into the craziness of more medications and fertility treatments. Seemingly everything seems fine with my eggs and according to my doctor they are as best as they can be for my age. We have a mild male infertility but still not the apparent reason for not getting pregnant for so long. I suspect that I have a cold and hostile uterus which is what I am now working on with my acupuncturist. Anyhow, I just wanted to say that it takes a lot and it requires immense positive energy to do what you have done. Some women are definitely a special kind of human and you are one of them. Your story is a sunshine!
Anna says
Andralyn,
Thank you for all your positive and kind words! I’m so happy for you that you are doing so much good work for your health and happiness. It sounds like you are in a good place!!! Baby dust my dear!!
