Figuring out how to balance my body better
Hi there- I've gone through the first week's module and I'm reading through the e-book now. I'm currently in my 3rd consecutive medicated IUI cycle. My husband and I have a 3 yr old son, and I'm about to turn 41. My first pregnancy required no special fertility procedures- just ovulation tracking for a few cycles. I had an early miscarriage last summer. I had 3-4 months of Chinese herb & acupuncture treatment before I began the IUI process earlier this year. I cycle-track with the kegg device (though medication & progesterone suppositories with IUI render these a bit useless), I have a spotty record with high-quality BBT tracking (I'm unreliable that early in the AM, I usually just go straight to the restroom before I remember to do a temp check), I monitor CM and position. Diet-wise, I'm low sugar, low processed foods, almost no alcohol, very low caffeine. I'm overweight but healthy and making some progress. I walk well over 10K steps/day and do isometric exercise, weight bearing exercise and the occasional yoga/barre class. I take Omega-3s, methylated folate, magnesium, myo-inositol, Vit D, beef liver, and a standard pre-natal. My husband uses a pre-conception multivitamin for men. I’ve used Wisdom of the Womb herbal fertility teas for large portions of the last year or so. AMH/FSH #s are very good for my age, and none of our tests flagged any reason for infertility (though my husband's morphology #s were lower than normal). My doc did not recommend an HSG given recent pregnancies. I was hoping this community/e-book/6 week program could give me a specific plan after hearing Dr. Tassoni on a recent podcast. Working my way through now.

Thanks so much for the reply. His morphology percentage was 2%. Unfortunately our fertility MD didn’t think this was a concern at all, so there’s not much motivation on my husband’s side to address it. But these are straight forward suggestions that I can try to communicate.
