✨ This is where I love the BOTH of functional and integrative medicine.
There are many situations where exogenous progesterone is both helpful AND necessary, especially with ART procedures.
But I am astounded how many women schedule appointments with our clinic who NEVER had a proper work up for preconception health.
Who never had any root causes of recurrent losses investigated.
Who were told they could just be given progesterone and all would be hunky dory, without any sort of other recommendation to optimize their hormonal or metabolic health…
Never being given a single shred of information on how to support their OWN progesterone production (or WHY it might be low).
Without any doctor helping them understand the long term ramifications of low progesterone (or luteal insufficiency) and how this matters for them beyond just staying pregnant.
This is especially true of our mommas in waiting with PCOS. They are so rarely properly supported, and so often shuttled straight into IVF without any prep that will help them get the most out of that incredibly intense experience.
If you’re looking to optimize your fertility, your metabolic health and your own health for postpartum and beyond, it’s crucial to optimize *before* conception.
Because at Navigate Wellness, we care about more than just getting you pregnant or to your second trimester…
We care about your whole motherhood experience. You deserve to flourish, not just in pregnancy, but into postpartum and beyond.
With a healthy baby AND as a healthy mother 💞
