The story of one woman’s healing — and how getting answers early made all the difference.

At Motherland, we recently shared a number that means so much to our team:
An 89% pregnancy success rate within six months for women working with us in our Flourish Formula program.

But that number only tells part of the story.
Behind every percentage is a real woman navigating real questions, doubts, and quiet whispers from her body.

Today, we’re sharing one of those stories — and a powerful reminder of why it’s okay (and often essential) to ask for help before you think you're “allowed to.”

The Feeling That Changed Everything

S came to us just shy of the 12-month mark of trying to conceive.
She hadn’t hit the "infertility" diagnosis window yet.
She hadn’t done rounds of IUI or IVF.
She just knew something wasn’t right.

And that’s exactly where her healing began.

She Was Tired, Stressed, and Getting Dismissed

At the time, S had a history of miscarriage, was feeling physically depleted, and emotionally exhausted.
Her days often started without food, she was running on stress hormones, and her only supplement was a basic one-a-day prenatal that didn’t come close to meeting her body’s needs.

Despite the symptoms and history, she kept hearing that things looked "normal" or that she should "give it more time."

But she trusted her gut — and that changed everything.

What We Found When We Looked Deeper

When S began our Flourish Formula program, we took a full-body approach, diving into the systems that support fertility — far beyond the uterus.

Here’s what we uncovered:

Micronutrient deficiencies: Her body was severely depleted — low B12 and folate levels, both essential for egg quality and implantation.
Estrogen dominance + low progesterone: These hormone imbalances made it difficult for her to sustain a healthy pregnancy.
Extremely low DHEA: A key fertility hormone, her levels were down to 50 — a sign of chronic, long-term stress.
Low testosterone: Contributing to low energy and poor hormone resilience.

Her body wasn’t broken — it was protecting her.
It simply didn’t have the resources to say yes to pregnancy yet.

What She Wishes She Knew Sooner

S shared that if she could go back, she would have spoken up sooner.
She would have asked for testing earlier.
She wouldn’t have waited for a calendar milestone or permission to seek help.

She now knows that fatigue, nutrient depletion, and gut imbalances matter when it comes to fertility.
And that preconception care isn’t about doing more — it’s about giving your body what it actually needs.

Her Turning Point

After beginning her personalized protocol focused on nourishment, mineral repletion, adrenal support, and hormone balance, her body began to shift.

Shortly after we began working together, she conceived.

We supported her closely throughout early pregnancy — monitoring progesterone, adjusting supplementation, and continuing to strengthen her foundation.

Now, she's thriving and preparing to welcome her baby into the world — not just pregnant, but deeply nourished.

In Her Words

Your Permission to Get Support — Sooner

S’s story is a powerful reminder that you don’t have to wait for a certain point in your TTC journey to get help.

If something feels off, you’re allowed to say something.
You’re allowed to trust yourself.
And you’re allowed to start sooner.

We’re here for you when you’re ready. 🤎
