#noperiodnowwhat

I am really excited to announce a new collaboration with Florence @byond.bodyimage ... for those who are interested in working on the hormonal and physical side of recovery and getting pregnant as well as working on mental recovery and body image. ♥️ ・・・ Ten years ago, Dr Nicola Rinaldi was the only person who believed it was in fact possible to recover from #hypothalamicamenorrhea and conceive children naturally, after my OB had given up on figuring out why my periods disappeared or how to bring them back. I took the plunge into #harecovery at the end of 2009, strong of Nicola’s knowledge and, although it felt unattainable at the time, going ‘all in’ literally changed my life in so many positive ways. Last year, I flew halfway across the world to meet my personal hero. Since my HA recovery in 2010, Nicola had written THE reference book on missing periods #noperiodnowwhat and helped thousands of other women to reclaim their health and become mothers. I was in the middle of getting my certification as an eating psychology coach. At the end of this trip, Nicola and I took this photo and we shared the crazy dream of somehow teaming up in order to support women across the world with their recovery. 🌟2019 IS THE YEAR WE MADE IT HAPPEN! 🌟 Recovering from HA is more of a ‘when’ question, than an ‘if’, and Nicola's expertise in regaining hormonal health is second to none. If you haven’t gotten the book yet, you need to order it now! But having been through a relapse years after recovering my periods, I know better than anyone that body image and mental health also play a HUGE part in making the benefits of HA recovery last a lifetime. Through our common coaching, you will learn how to reclaim your hormonal cycle (and get pregnant if you so desire) while 💫Breaking through ‘The Fear’ (of gaining weight, of letting go, of judgement) 💫Saying goodbye to perfectionism 💫Embracing body diversity and body neutrality 💫Truly nurturing yourself, instead of nurturing your ‘inner gremlin’ 💫Managing anxiety outside of tightening control of your appearance 💫Truly stepping in your power and achieve bigger life goals Please visit the links in either of our bios to learn more ♥️ https://www.instagram.com/p/ByGid_WFbXn/?igshid=11hsx075zhkq6

The time when I wanted desperately to be pregnant but was not able to get there was one of the darkest of my life. Before we had started trying, I always thought I would be okay if I didn't have kids, I would focus on other things - but that was before I realized that might be a reality. When I was staring a childless existence in the face due to my missing menstrual cycle and four failed rounds of injections, it became a whole different story. I realized how many of my plans for the future revolved around kids, grandkids, and growing old enjoying my family. While those four BIG FAT NEGATIVE failed cycles sucked, I was lucky enough to get pregnant shortly therafter, while waiting to do IVF. That experience led me to where I am today, with my life's work in helping other women to recover their missing periods and get pregnant. I have helped thousands of women get their periods back, and played a part in the births of hundreds of babies. It is so much more rewarding than anything else I've done in my life. For #nationalinfertilityawareness week, please know that if you're struggling to get pregnant, you are NOT alone. And I would love for you to reach out and chat with me about how I can help YOU achieve the family you want.

My favorite part of working with women to help them ovulate/restore #menstrualcycles is when they get that magical, much longed for BFP (big fat positive, i.e. pregnancy test). This is a screenshot from my secret FB group for HA pregnancies (all member info removed for privacy). . If you are trying to get pregnant, the fertility section of #noperiodnowwhat will be invaluable to you; from understanding when you are ovulating and when to "baby dance", to everything you need to know about medical ways to help you ovulate - oral meds, injectables, ivf, whatever route your family building might take. . If you need more help and advice beyond that, that's what I'm here for, with over 10 years experience guiding women with #HA through #fertilitytreatments - I can help you be prepared for doctors appointments and know exactly what to ask for and why, given many ob-gyns and REs don't have many patients with HA. #linkinbio http://noperiod.info/appointments. . I do also run a getting pregnant support group at http://noperiod.info/TTC... if you would like to join, please answer all three questions. Purchase of #npnw is required due to the specialized advice... For more general, free support, all are welcome to http://noperiod.info/Support. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuBb8zMld60/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pb27wy8hbntw
