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!
I do not want emails. Just the list.
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 also didn’t recieve the email. Can you send it? Thanks!
I too have not received the email. Interested in the list of affirmations.
Can you check your spam folder?
I’m not getting an email either 🙁
sorry about that! I just emailed you!
Does the mailing list/this list still work? Nothing in email or spam.
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!
Hi Anna, I have also not received the email, have tried it a few times, not in my spam either – could you please send it? Thank you!! 🙂
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!
Denice,
I know its a ton!! Find what works for you, and leave what doesn’t :-). Best wishes, and baby dust!!
Anna
Hi Anna says …. your story is so inspiring..
I wanted ur help in this situation when I can’t see any hopes ..
Can u …??
Hi Veena! I don’t do fertility coaching, but I do know a great one! Check out my Frequently Asked Questions for more info!! And, keep your hope up my dear! Baby dust! https://www.tomakeamommy.com/frequently-asked-questions/
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!
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
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.
Baby dust honey! Wishing you the best!
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
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!
I signed up but nothing in my email about your 79 things. What do I do?
Neet- It should have downloaded automatically when you clicked “Confirm.” If that doesn’t work shoot me an email and I’ll just send it to you!!
Hi Anna, can you please send the pdf to my email address as I have not been able to successfully download it?
Hi Neet!! So sorry about that! send me an email at anna at tomakeamommy dot com and I will reply with the list!
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.
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!!
Anna
Hi Anna! I did no receive the list. Could you kindly send it to me? Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Hi Emilie!! Just shoot me an email dear, to anna(at)gmail(dot)com
I didn’t receive an email.
Hi Katie! Sorry for the delay in responding! I’m a bit behind! If you haven’t already, please shoot me an email to anna (at) tomakeamommy (dot) com
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!
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!!
Anna

Hi Rosie! If you haven’t already sent me an email directly, please do! anna (at) tomakeamommy (dot) com!
I’ll email you the list!
Hello Anna , I’m having problem getting the 79 life style changing list . I have confirmed my email address and been accepted and reentermy name again and email address but still did get what I requested ..This Renie and today is Nov 6, 2018
Hi Renie! I am SO SORRY I missed this! Hi Rosie! Please send me an email directly and I will email the list to you! anna (at) tomakeamommy (dot) com!
Hi! I entered my email and information last night and have not received the list, are you able to send through? 🙂 Thank you so much!
HI Heather! I am sooo sorry! Please send me an email directly and I will email you the list my dear! anna (at) tomakeamommy (dot) com!
Hi I have filled in my details my have not received anything in my emails. Please kindly send this through.
Sima– so sorry my dear! If you haven’t already sent me an email directly, please do! anna (at) tomakeamommy (dot) com! I’ll send you the list directly!
Hi Anna,
Would love to get the list. Sent you an email already. Thank you so much!
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!
Aime!
You are so welcome!! Sounds like you are doing a fantastic job!! Does this mean you are pregnant?
Anna
Hi Anna – I’m curious if you still had regular periods after you found out you had low AMH/high FSH. Were you diagnosed with POI/POF and how old were you when you conceived? Thanks.
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
Did not get the email for the 79 list .
Hi does this still work? subscribed, confirmed subscription but there is no where to download the PDF? Please confirm.
I signed up for the newsletter and got the welcome letter, but did not receive the pdf? Am I doing it right?
I confirmed my subscription but did not get any pdf to download.
Hi, I have not received any email and I checked my spam as well. I tried to sign up about 3 times already but still nothing. What do you suggest me to do ?
I signed up and got an email but no pdf downloaded.
Is anyone able to share the list? It looks like Anna may have taken a break from the blog.
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
I still haven’t received the e-mail.
I just received an introductory e-mail. Can I please just get the 79 things you tried? Thank you so much.
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!!!!
Does this still work? Please send me the list. Thank you.
Yes this still works! Send me an email if you still need the list! Anna at tomakeamommy.com
Anna, I never got the email with your list. Can you send it to me?
Thanks!
Did you get signed up for the newsletter? If it didnt work shoot me an email and I will send it to you! Anna at tomakeamommy.com
45. Took my daily chinese medicine herbs given by my acupuncturist.
Would you mind sharing please, which herbs you took, the amount you took, how many times a day, and what time of day, thanks so much!
This is one of those areas where I had to trust my acupuncturist, and honestly I dont know what herbs they were. I know they were tailored for my diagnoses, and they changed for the different parts of my cycle!
Hi Anna,
I signed up but didn’t receive the email. If you could please send to me I would be very grateful. I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks
Just emailed you!! BABY DUST!
I signed up as well, looking forward to your email 🙂
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
I can’t wait to start this journey. Every road that we have taken has done nothing but disappoint…Hoping this works! Looking forward to your email!
I hope this is magic for your baby journey!! Every day I get an email or direct message from a woman saying, ” . .. then I found your blog and I did ALL THE THINGS, and now I’m pregnant!!” Today the message was from a 45 year old woman!!!!
xo,
Anna
