Wishing for a Baby: From Infertility to Natural Pregnancy after Age 40 - Paperback

by Ella Grace (Author)

I'd always hoped to have at least one child. My hope died as I passed my 41st birthday but I conceived soon after and gave birth to a beautiful baby.

The pregnancy was not aided by fertility treatments (though I had tried Clomid over a year earlier). Was it due to just luck or did I finally get pregnant because of several lifestyle changes I made half a year prior to conceiving?

I made some simple but life-altering changes involving nutrition, walking outdoors (for Vitamin D), two short fasts and the practice of two key yoga positions at home. My monthly cycle soon became very regular for the first time in my life, my PMS symptoms disappeared and my wish for a baby came true.

The first part of this account is about intimate relationships as I tried to find love and security in my life. The rest is more specifically about how my biological clock went into hyper-mode by age 35, about meeting my husband at 37 and about my three plus years of anxious infertility before conceiving at age forty-one.

I hope you will also look into some simple lifestyle changes before (or even during) your trials with fertility treatments. I am so grateful as this really seemed to help me.
