I am so sorry for the delay, I have had a ton of work and we are a bit backed up:) Thank you for your patience.

In a normal functioning follicle, the estrogen levels rise and signal the pituitary gland to release Lutenizing Hormone (LH). LH signals the follicle to open and release the mature egg, this is ovulation. After ovulation progesterone production is triggered by Luteinizing Hormone (LH) which stimulates the corpus luteum (the remnant egg sac) in the ovary to produce progesterone. One of the main actions of progesterone with fertility is to help support a developing embryo.

If pregnancy occurs, the production of progesterone from the corpus luteum continues for about 7 weeks (it is then produced by the placenta for the duration of the pregnancy). If pregnancy did not occur, the period begins 14 days after ovulation. When fertilization does not occur the corpus luteum disintegrates, which causes the level of progesterone to fall and the endometrial tissue to disintegrate and shed as menstruation.

The luteal phase is the latter half of the menstrual cycle: after ovulation.

Age in men can play a role in their fertility as well. The most important key factors to look at with Sperm Health are diet, exercise and lifestyle habits. If he does not take care of his health his fertility may suffer.

I await your response and any additional information you may have to offer. Keep up the wonderful work you both are doing in helping us women who have it so hard in conceiving.

The Fertility Cleanse in general is a great way for anyone who is experiencing fertility challenges to create a foundation for hormonal balance and a healthy uterus for implantation. Fertility Cleansing creates a “clean slate” within the body that helps the body to respond and utilize other natural remedies better.

Because you have a regular cycle you may want to consider learning how to chart your cycle. This will help you to know the best times to try and conceive.

Couples who have been trying over a year with no success are often guided to get fertility testing done to determine if their is a problem. There is an equal chance that male factor infertility can be the cause of not getting pregnant as much as a fertility issue being with the woman. So you may want to talk to your husband about getting his sperm count and quaility tested.

I am not sure what fertility prep is, maybe you mean Pregnancy Prep? If you mean Pregnancy Prep it has been shown safe to combine those herbal supplements.

The scar tissue may be contributing to your difficulty becoming pregnant. Your ovaries switch back and forth each month when releasing the egg, so the left is one month, the right the next. If one tube is blocked you may only be ovulation every other month, giving you less chances to conceive. During ovulation there is only a 3 day time frame in which you are fertile out of the entire month, so timing is very important. I know many women with only one active ovary and they have gone on to have many children, so it is still possible for you. Have you considered having your husband get tested as well? If your partner has low sperm count or any other fertility issues, this will decrease your chances as well. There is a 50% chance that he may be having fertility issues as well.

As to your question about couple compatibility, there is no way for me to know that. Every human is unique and we all come with different challenges.

We do not recommend trying to conceive during the Fertility Cleanse. If you are actively trying to conceive and get pregnant without knowing the cleansing during pregnancy releases toxins that could harm the baby. Also, it is not recommended to cleanse while breastfeeding.

There are many different signs you may feel or notice when you are ovulating such as a change in cervical mucous, to a dull to sharp pain in your lower abdomen (ovary) on the side releasing the egg or you may feel more amorous. When a woman ovulates there should be an increase in cervical mucous (CM), as well as a change in the mucous texture, from “wet” to a more pliable, stretchy, egg white like mucous. The best way to tell if you are ovulating would be to learn how to chart your cycle. You can do that by clicking on this link: http://natural-fertility-info.com/menstrual-calendar-charting-your-signs-of-fertility.html

You may also want to learn how to use a Fertility Microscope to help you learn when you are ovulating.

To learn the best natural remedies for increasing cervical mucous please go to this link: http://natural-fertility-info.com/5-natural-ways-to-increase-your-cervical-mucous.html

Just because you don’t have any cervical mucous does not mean you are not ovulating.

We appreciate your support!
