Listen in on my conversation with Andrea Lieb as she shares all things connected with the Creighton Model Fertility Care System! Couples who are interested in pursuing NaPro Technology and Natural Family Planning for their fertility health need to learn how to accurately and scientifically chart their cycles, their cervical mucus, and the day to day changes that they observe.

I had a wonderful time talking with Andrea. She explained the Creighton Model so clearly and intelligently. We also talked about different topics in the fertility world including the birth control pill, artificial technology, perimenopause, and resources to find a supportive fertility community. If you are at all interested in seeking a natural approach to fertility care, I highly recommend you listen to this interview and check out Andrea's website!

Also, I want to apologize for the poor sound quality on my end. Andrea's voice is clear, but mine was choppy at times. I'll be looking for a better program to record future interviews.

Grab your favorite cup of tea or coffee and join me as we talk about all things related to the two week wait. If you have walked the road of fertility treatments, you know exactly what I am talking about. How can we fight against the fear, doubt, and worry and not allow that to paralyze us from living life?

You have beauty and incredible worth right here and right now. You are fearfully and wonderfully created by God and you are a multi-dimensional person. What is God doing during this waiting season and how can we be part of it?

This is not a to-do list or a "5 Things to Help You Become Pregnant Today" kind of episode. This is a raw, unfiltered conversation with my fellow fertility sisters about how we can wait with intentionality and grace as we seek God's face and ask him what he is doing in the waiting season.

Here are some of my favorite verses that I mention in the episode:

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”

2 Thessalonians 3:16 “Now may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation. The Lord be with you all.”

Isaiah 41:10 “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”

Psalm 91:2 “This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.”

Psalms 27:13-14 “Yet I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.”

See you next time!

So you've heard about NaPro and you know the introductory information on the unique approach that it is. What does it actually look like in the course of a typical cycle? This episode goes into detail about what a patient can expect in the hands of a NaPro doctor throughout their menstural cycle. This is based on my own experience as a NaPro patient who's primary diagnosis was endometriosis. This process will look different if you are diagnosed with PCOS.

Experiencing fertility disappointments can be taxing on our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. I want to spread the word about a wonderful resource that was designed specifically for women and men who are struggling with their fertility. Erin Sherman co-founded Organic Conceptions with her husband Marc Sherman.

Join me for this conversation as Erin explains what Organic Conception entails. The intersection of fertility and mental health does not get talked about enough. Couples, who are on a fertility journey, need to become aware and address how the trauma of their experience is impacting their mental health.

Check out Organic Conceptions' website to get more information on this incredible resource. This greatly impacting me and was key to my journey of healing from the trauma of fertility struggles.

Part two of my fertility journey is all about my introduction and experience following the NaPro Technology approach to natural, holistic fertility care.

If you are on your own fertility journey or you know someone who is, I hope my story can speak hope and peace over you during this difficult season. You are not alone. Fertility health is part of your journey, but it does not define who you are. You are loved, you are of great worth in the eyes of our Father, and you are seen. May God's blessings overtake you by surprise and may you sense His love and peace everywhere you go.

If you are struggling to become pregnant or if you are dealing with intense pain and uncomfortable symptoms with each menstrual cycle, you should look into NaPro Technology. It's a rare women's health medical office where you will receive compassionate care and you have knowledgeable doctors who will work hard to identify and treat the root cause of your fertility and women's health struggles.

This is just an introduction into NaPro Technology and the family planning method, Creighton Model FertilityCare System, that works in tandem with NaPro Technology. I would love to know your thoughts and questions after listening to this episode. Connect with me on Instagram and tell me what you would like to learn more about.

In this episode, I explain who I am and my reason behind creating this podcast. If you or someone you know in struggling with their fertility, I've been there, I know what it's like, and I want to walk alongside others and offer support in any way I can.

We have different medical options we can pursue when we experience a delay in our journey to grow our family and they each have pros and cons. There is one option that is not often talked about and that is NaPro Technology. In future episodes, I want to explain what NaPro is and compare it to other more well known treatment options.

Most importantly I want to bless and encourage you in your spiritual walk with Jesus, because without him, this fertility struggle just became a million times harder.

This journey is hard, but you are not alone.
