FAM Success Stories

Pregnant Naturally After Failed IVF/IUI - Over 40

Leah
After three failed IVF cycles left Leah heartbroken, she discovered FAM's natural approach. Within months, she proved her doctors wrong and conceived naturally at 41.

Samantha
After three years and multiple failed treatments left Samantha mentally drained, FAM's natural protocols doubled her egg retrieval numbers and led to her twin success story.

Yosi
Despite three failed IUI cycles and one IVF failure prior to FAM, her second IVF attempt post-FAM was successful. Yosi appreciated FAM for its meal planning, detox process, and easy-to-follow instructions rooted in Chinese medicine, along with the strong community support. Remarkably, her FSH and AMH levels improved within a year of starting FAM.

Under 40 - Pregnant Naturally After Failed IVF/IUI

Nair
TTC for 5 years while experiencing unexplained infertility. She finally had a successful IVF which gave her a sweet baby and four more frozen embryos. A year after her baby was born, she decided to use two of the embryos, but unfortunately, both failed. That’s when she shifted to TTC naturally and eventually found FAM™. She became pregnant within just 6 weeks of joining!

Pregnant Naturally Over 40

Kernjeet
At 43, Kernjeet was told her low ovarian reserve meant her fertility journey was over before it began. Following FAM's proven system, she found her body's natural rhythm and conceived naturally in just one month

Rebekah
After a heartbreaking second-trimester loss and five years of unexplained infertility, Rebekah found hope in FAM's protocols, which balanced her hormones and blessed her with a natural pregnancy at 45.

Gessica
After four years of trying and doctors insisting donor eggs were her only hope, Gessica proved them wrong by following FAM's protocols and achieving what seemed impossible – a natural pregnancy with her own eggs at 44.

IVF Success with FAM

Katie
Katie attributes her pregnancy to the health benefits of FAM on her eggs and cherishes the method for its natural, self-paced approach and supportive community. Her journey, marked by initial disbelief at her positive pregnancy test, has transformed into a series of joyous and exciting milestones.

Marianne
After battling stage IV endometriosis and being told natural conception was impossible, Marianne felt lost and hopeless. Through FAM's holistic approach, she not only healed her body but welcomed three beautiful children naturally – all after 40.

Diminished Ovarian Reserve

Alicia
At 35, Alicia was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve, with low AMH, SFH, and AFC levels. Alicia discovered the Fertility Activation Method (FAM) and incorporated it into her last retrieval cycle, successfully obtaining another embryo. FAM empowered her, allowing her body to demonstrate its capabilities in her fertility journey.

Sandra
From Multiple Diagnoses to Natural Miracle Facing DOR, low AMH, irregular cycles, and failed IUI at 39, Sandra was down to just two frozen eggs from IVF – but FAM's protocols helped her bypass the freezer entirely with a natural pregnancy instead.

Elizabeth
At 40 years old, Elizabeth had 2 miscarriages at 5 weeks. Just 10 weeks after joining FAM™, she became pregnant naturally. She is now 18 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby, and looking forward to meeting her new baby!

Unexplained Infertility

Margaret
After five frustrating years of unexplained infertility and countless failed treatments, Margaret felt like she was running out of options. FAM's holistic approach finally provided the missing piece, leading to her natural pregnancy within just 5 months

Marie
After 2.5 years of frustration, failed IUIs, and an endometriosis diagnosis, Marie discovered FAM's protocols and transformed her cycle, digestion, and fertility – achieving natural conception in just three months.

Daniela
Daniela, diagnosed with Unexplained Fertility, and her husband, despite perfect test results, faced five failed IUI cycles over three years. Turning to the Fertility Activation Method (FAM) after a break from conventional treatments, they conceived within nine months following one more IUI cycle.

Conditions

Emma - Secondary Infertility
Emma, struggling with secondary infertility for 1.5 years due to stress and health issues from a parasite, preferred natural methods over fertility treatments. Remarkably, within less than a month of using FAM™, Emma became pregnant naturally.

Holly - Hypothyroidism
As a functional medicine expert with thyroid issues, Holly doubted anything new could help her second fertility journey – until FAM's ancient wisdom balanced her entire system and brought her a natural pregnancy in just one month."

Madeleine - PCOS
Madeleine was diagnosed with PCOS as a teenager and only ever experienced heavy, irregular cycles. At 32 years old, she joined FAM™ when she was struggling to become pregnant again to help naturally balance her fertility. Now she is pregnant and once again feels empowered by her body!

Cari - Blocked Tubes/Fibrosis
With blocked tubes, low egg count, and fibrosis, doctors gave Cari minimal hope – but two months of recommitting to FAM's natural protocols led to a healthy pregnancy that defied medical expectations

Lucy - Miscarriage
After two miscarriages and a history of hemorrhaging left Lucy anxious, FAM's protocols helped balance both her cycle and her mind – leading to a confident, supported pregnancy at 38.

The Hidden Risks of Repeated IVF

Recent Research Reveals Potential Long-Term Impacts on Ovarian Health

While IVF can be a valuable tool for some women, emerging research reveals concerning effects of repeated ovarian stimulation that most fertility clinics don't discuss.

The FAM Difference:

Recent Studies Show:

  • Accelerated Ovarian Aging

    - A 2024 study published in ScienceDirect found that "repeated ovarian hyperstimulation can accelerate the loss of ovarian reserve" and "causes structural changes in the ovary.

  • Increased Oxidative Stress

    Multiple peer-reviewed studies confirm that:
    - IVF medications can significantly increase oxidative stress in reproductive tissues

    - This oxidative damage promotes cellular apoptosis (cell death)

    - Chronic inflammation in ovarian tissue

    - Mitochondrial damage affecting egg quality

  • Compromised Egg Quality

    - Research indicates that ovarian stimulation may have "detrimental effects on oogenesis and embryo quality," with long-term oxidative damage decreasing follicle quality over time.

Not All Holistic Approaches Are Created Equal

The term "holistic" has become so broad it's almost meaningless—ranging from unqualified wellness coaches to legitimate medical practitioners.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is the only holistic medical system licensed in all 50 states, requiring 4-5 years of intensive training, national and state licensing exams, and ongoing continuing education.

Our practitioners hold Master's degrees in Traditional Chinese Medicine with additional training in functional medicine, nutrition, and fertility specialization.

Unlike practitioners you might see occasionally, we empower you with daily protocols—like having a fertility specialist guiding you every single day, not just once a week or month.

FAM vs Other Methods:

⚠️ Warning: Be cautious of practitioners who:

  • Offer "bioidentical hormone therapy" without addressing root causes

  • Lack verifiable medical credentials

  • Promise quick fixes without comprehensive assessment

  • Don't provide measurable progress tracking


FAM Difference: Licensed medical practitioners, proven methodology, measurable results, 6 months free if not pregnant after 6 months.
