I'm Sarah Clark, Founder of Fab Fertile Inc. and your host. Today a member of the Fab Fertile team joins me - Dr. Tabatha Barber. Dr. Tabatha is triple board certified in obstetrics and gynecology, menopause, and functional medicine.

Today we’re digging into how to make a decision so you can improve your chances of pregnancy success. I've had lots of calls with people recently who tell me they want to have a baby. And for whatever reason - they walk away. They don't take action. They decide they will put it off and do it later. Please know I don't care whether you buy from me - or from someone else. But the reality is....unless a decision is made to move forward...we keep researching, we stay in limbo, and guess what? Nothing happens! But let me tell you about the people who do move forward and are ready to take ACTION and how QUICKLY things start to change. I've had clients who book an initial call with me...and we develop a customized plan. This episode is for you: 1) You’re spending hours every week researching but you are overwhelmed and not sure where to start to improve your chances of pregnancy success. 2) You’ve already made a lot of changes so you’re feeling like IVF is your next best option. 3) You’ve had failed IVF and/or tried to get pregnant for 2 years so you want to speed up your chances of pregnancy success In this episode you'll learn: 1) How to avoid over researching and feeling unsure of your next steps when you are dealing with a low AMH, high FSH, premature ovarian insufficiency, or diminished ovarian reserve diagnosis. 2) How to know what is the right type of action for your specific situation so you can fast track pregnancy success 3) How to make a decision that is right for you and your partner that improves your chances of getting pregnant naturally. Book your Supercharge Your Fertility Discovery call here with your partner. During our call, we’ll be discussing what you have tried so far and where you’ve faced challenges. This can feel stressful but is designed to help us get to the root cause of your fertility issues and will help me to give you the best possible action plan at the end of the call. However, to reassure you – on this call we won’t be digging into the trauma associated with infertility/miscarriage/loss – rather we are focused on solutions and an ACTION PLAN as to how our Fab Fertile Method can help you get pregnant naturally. ---- TIMESTAMPS: 05:42- THE COST OF NOT TAKING ACTION "Unless you make a decision and decide to move forward you will keep researching."
