79 Diet and Lifestyle Changes I Made to get Happy, Healthy, & Pregnant!

Reading time: 1 minute · Updated: Jul 9, 2021 by Anna

Share the love! :-)

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!

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!

      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!

            I would love the list and to receive your newsletter. I also struggle with infertility even though it was easy to get pregnant my first time at 39, then again at 40 but I lost that one. Since then is has been almost impossible andwe would LOVE to have at least one more even though I’m older.

    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!

    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.

    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

    Reply
    • Anna

      May 24, 2018 at 2:10 pm

      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.

    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!

    Hi Anna,

    Thanks for the list! I started eliminating coffee (though not completely, but I’m down to just a sip or two now) and plastic containers out of my life and it helped!

    Among the other things I did was focus more on pelvic exercises and yoga poses, meditating, massaging my abdomen with Castor and lavender oil every night before my ovulation and putting my feet up every night. I also took Vit E and C daily. I believe they all helped along with a lot of prayers.

    Thanks, Anna. I’m recommending your blog to my friends!

      Hi Shalar! I was 32 when I conceived the first time and I was having regular periods. I was 35 when I conceived the second time and I was NOT having regular periods. I wasn’t diagnosed with POI/POF, just Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR) due to high FSH, low AMH, and low antral follicle counts. xoxoxoxo

    Sorry everyone! I had a bunch of technical glitches, that are mostly cleared up. When you subscribe, it should automatically download. Some people have blocks on their browsers which prevent it from working. I’m working on creating a library for password access for subscribers that should clear this up! I’m slowly working through my emails and sending you guys the list in the meantime!!! xo Anna

    Hi all!! I am sooooo sorry. I’m getting like 40+ signups for the newsletter each day and although most of them are getting the automatic download, it seems like a handful each day aren’t. I’ve had the newsletter company (supposed to be the best in the business and certainly costs and arm and a leg, haha!) do all their magic they can and they say the few that aren’t getting the download have some issue with their browser.

    I finally did a second fix- now when you sign up for the newsletter it should still 1)automatically download but if you don’t get it, in the first welcome newsletter you also get the password/access to ALL my free e-books including this one.

    This way if its the middle of the night and you just found this site and you can’t wait for me to email you back (because let’s face it, I take FOREVER to email people back, I’m so sorry), you can still have access automatically.

    I also sent out a newsletter today to all my subscribers with this link and password.

    If for some reason you were in between these two and missed it- I am sorry, and please sign up again.

    I can’t apologize enough for not being prompt with email responses. I am lucky if I get to work 5 hours a month on the blog, and I just can’t get through the emails.

    I am hoping life will sort it self out soon so I have more time for the blog!!! 🙂 It is my passion and joy!!!!

    Hi Anna,

    Thank you so much for your blog! I would like to try your advice, at least as much of it as I can. We eat very healthy, as much organic food as possible, and always cook for the week, so we eat homemade food. We eat out once a week, Saturday night. I have some food allergies/intolerance. I briefly read through your list and see that you mention lots of green veggies. I am intolerant to iron supplements and to the iron in green vegetables. However, I am anemic, and do eat red meat bc it helps with my iron levels. What other vegetables would I be able to eat instead? Also, thank you for posting the list of harmful toxins, I had no idea there were so many around me. I tend to be very sensitive to a lot of things, and it is possible these items could be affecting me. Women in my family have never had fertility issues, they all have 2 or more kids. I am the only one having trouble. My FSH is over 20 and my last AMH test was 0.03. I am very healthy otherwise. I rarely get sick, and I exercise rigorously 4 to 5 times a week. I also get acupuncture every other week. I Have been trying to get pregnant naturally for a year, but it hasn’t happened, so we saw a fertility doctor for the first time a few days ago. She was not as positive as I assumed she would be about us getting pregnant. We really want a child. Any feedback you can provide would be welcome. Thanks so much!

      Hi JJ! Intolerant to the iron in green veggies????? NOooooooooo. Do you think it might be a cruciferous vegetable allergy? That’s totally a thing. Not very common, but a thing. Just eat any vegetable you can for sure- take a good iron free prenatal, and if you can do a powedered green supplement I would do it for sure. I’m so sorry. I really hope it isn’t a true allergy and you are able to reintroduce! Maybe seek out a nutritionist who can lead you through allergy testing and an elimination diet? Also, watch out for exercising rigorously, studies show the more rigorous the harder to get pregnant! I am sending you so much baby dust!!! – Anna

    Dear Anna, I am getting ready to undergo an IVF cycle, and I cannot tell you how many times I have referenced the WONDERFUL, selfless information you provide on your website. I certainly hope the community of women, like me, who find themselves scouring through your collected wisdom, can also support you so that you can make a living off such a wonderful platform. This website is simply a God send! To think of all the lives you are affecting in the positive, is humbling. I am so thankful to you for your thoughtful research and free knowledge you’re passing along. From one woman to another, I am so grateful and feel so much more empowered from it! Keep up the amazing work, it is appreciated from afar!

    Dear Anna,

    I’m very happy I found your site and for all your successes around pregnancy! I’m already a happy mother and have decided to try it again recently at my 37 yrs of age. I read your amazing “79” list – all OK, except for me, whenever I tried in past to ditch chocolate, sweets and pasta completely, it didn’t work out – I was very nervous all the time, with lots of headaches. I’m very active person who likes freshly prepared food – fruits, nuts, seeds, vegetables, meat, seafood, eggs, whole grained bread with seeds, pasta, quinoa, legumes, yogurt, oats, honey, chocolate foods Arabica black coffee and green tea. I rarely (once in a 2-months averagely) eat white bread, rice, potatoes, milk, cheese, fried foods, fizzy drinks.
    I would like to know, how long did it take for you to get pregnant, with all these changes of food and other habits?

    Thank you in advance for your kind reply.

    Vanessa

    Hello Anna!

    Unfortunately, the ’79 things’ list did not come through to my email. Do you mind passing it along? I already checked my spam folder. Additionally, in your smoothie blog you mention rotating your greens. If I rotate my fresh greens as well as use the green superfood powder you recommend, is that overdoing it? If I use the superfood every day is that considered too much since I can’t rotate the powder?

    Anna,

    God bless you. I don’t know how or why I found your page. I was told last year I was premenopausal and had zero chances of having children naturally. I wasn’t too concerned, because I wasn’t married or even in a relationship. I thought I would adopt when I was ready to be a mother, but then I met my boyfriend and he wants children with me. I told him early when we started talking about what the doctors said and he still wanted to be with me. My prayer is to get pregnant naturally without a donor egg with my boyfriend’s sperm, and carry my child healthy full-term and for my child/children to have a healthy life. That is my prayer, I believe in God’s power and I am so thankful I found your page. Please keep me in prayer and I will continue to visit your blog to contribute and uplift other woman who are going through the same thing. May God bless you all, may the Great and Powerful God work a supernatural miracle in your body, strengthen your eggs, you womb and grant the desires of your heart. In Jesus’ name I pray for us all. Amen. Amen and Amen

    Dear Anna, Thank you for sharing your journey. You are like me in this matter, that if I’ve had hard time with something and when I overcome it I want to help others too. I look forward reading your list. I’m a 40 years old woman from Finland with amh 0,37. One failed ivf. I believe part of the fail was because of too much menopur for few follicles. Now I’m taking 3 months break and try to make as healthy eggs as possible and then a bit safer ivf cycle with less medicine. Unfortunately my tubes are blocked and the reason is unknown.

    All the best for you and your family Anna 🙂

    Hi,
    I just wanted to say that your list was incredibly helpful. I’ll be honest….I did not do all 79 things but we tried our best to do the most we possibly could and we are finally pregnant. Our first frozen embryo transfer wasn’t successful so we decided to make a lot of lifestyle changes and your list was a huge help. So after implementing a ton of your suggestions we got pregnant with the second frozen embryo transfer. I’m keeping your list for hopefully our second child. Thanks for doing all that you do for women!
