5 Fertility Secrets Every Woman Trying to Conceive Should Know
Fertility Insights That Will Change How You Approach Getting Pregnant
If you’re trying to get pregnant, you’ve likely spent hours and hours Googling everything from “how to increase fertility” to “signs of ovulation.” Maybe you’ve purchased multiple ovulation test kits, downloaded three different fertility tracking apps, and started timing everything down to the minute. Maybe even sex — once fun, spontaneous, or sacred — now feels more like a monthly task on your to-do list than an act of love or pleasure.
If that’s you… please know you’re not alone.
So many women fall into this cycle of doing, fixing, trying harder. We think if we can just get the timing right, take the right supplements, or follow the perfect fertility diet, it will finally happen. And while some of those things can help, they often miss something crucial:
The deeper, softer layers of fertility that no one talks about.
Like the role your nervous system plays in conception.
Or the surprising truth that your body can still be fertile past 35.
Or the fact that your menstrual cycle is trying to speak to you — not just be tracked or controlled.
These are the pieces I wish more women knew. The quiet truths that don’t show up at the top of a Google search — but that change everything when you begin to understand them.
And if you’re ready to dive even deeper and support your body and heart on this journey, you’ll find even more in my full guide:
📌 The Fertile Body Code; What Every Holistic Conceiving Woman Should Know→
Let this be your permission to stop pushing and start softening.
To make space for your body to feel safe, supported, and fertile — in every sense of the word.
You don’t need to do more.
You need to trust more. And allow your body to do what it’s meant to do.
And I’ll walk you through how, step by step.
1. You Can Be Fertile After 35
The idea that women “run out of time” at 35 is deeply misleading. While fertility does shift with age, it doesn’t suddenly vanish.
Yes, egg quantity declines over time — but egg quality and overall hormonal balance are what truly matter. These are areas you can nourish through lifestyle, rest, nourishment, and gentle cycle tracking.
Fertility isn’t a deadline. It’s a dialogue with your body.
2. Understanding Your Cycle Changes Everything
Your menstrual cycle holds the key to understanding your fertility — but many women were never taught how to read it.
Ovulation isn’t just a fertility window — it’s a monthly sign that your body is functioning well. By learning to observe signs like cervical mucus, basal body temperature, and energy shifts, you can work with your body’s rhythm rather than feeling confused or out of control.
Our guide walks you through how to chart your cycle in a grounded, feminine way — whether you’re new to it or already using an app but craving deeper clarity.
🌀 Your body isn’t random. It’s rhythmic — and it’s trying to talk to you.
3. A Regulated Nervous System Supports Fertility
Your nervous system plays a powerful (but often overlooked) role in whether or not your body feels safe enough to conceive.
When you're constantly in fight-or-flight — juggling work, responsibilities, appointments, and mental to-do lists — your body shifts energy away from reproduction and into survival mode.
Research shows that chronic stress can disrupt ovulation, lower progesterone, and increase inflammation — all of which affect fertility.
The good news? There are gentle, science-supported ways to calm your system. In our full guide, we include easy practices for down-regulating your stress response using breath, rest, and feminine nervous system support.
✨ A calm body is a fertile body.
4. Stress Can Block Fertility — But You Can Shift That
We’re not here to say “just relax.” That’s not helpful, and you’ve probably heard it too many times.
What we are saying is: your body needs to feel safe in order to open to conception. And that’s something you can gently cultivate.
High cortisol can throw your hormones off balance — delaying ovulation or even stopping it altogether. But the flip side is powerful: the more you create a sense of internal safety and softness, the more your body can do what it was designed to do.
Our full guide shares slow living rituals, womb-soothing practices, and emotional tools to help shift you out of stress mode, even when life feels full.
💛 This isn’t about doing more. It’s about softening into what already wants to happen.
5. Egg quality matters more than egg quantity — and you can improve it
You may have been told your fertility declines rapidly after 35 because you’re “running out of eggs.” But the truth is, it’s not just about how many eggs you have — it’s about their quality. And here’s the empowering part: while you can’t increase the number of eggs, you can support and even improve their quality through lifestyle, nutrition, and stress reduction.
Your eggs go through a ~90-day maturation process, which means what you do today influences the quality of the eggs you’ll ovulate 3 months from now. This includes:
Nourishing foods rich in antioxidants (like leafy greens, berries, and healthy fats)
Supporting mitochondrial health with CoQ10 (a key fertility supplement)
Prioritising rest, gentle movement, and reducing chronic stress
Egg quality is a more hopeful area of fertility than many women realise — and with the right support, your body can create a truly fertile environment.
