The Natural Way: Rest and Naturopath

The Natural Way: Rest and Naturopath

In this episode, I share about a different path my wife and I explored on our infertility journey—visiting a naturopathic doctor in the summer of 2021 after taking a year-long break from treatments. A friend’s recommendation led us to try something more holistic, and while the tests she ran revealed helpful insights into my overall health, the end result was not what we were expecting. I talk about what it felt like to re-enter the world of fertility conversations from this new angle and how hope, fear, and uncertainty all collided in that moment.

The Next Step: Our Experience with IUI

The next step for us in this journey was IUI. With each new treatment option along this journey there has been hope mixed with uncertainty. This step was no different.
