Aimee Raupp:

Hello everyone. It's Fertility Hot Seat time. So let's let everyone start to roll in and join and then you all remember how this goes. So it's a Fertility Hot Seat. I do these once a month and I select one of you to come on live with me and I give you a free 15-minute consultation.

Ah, he's going to keep calling. I know he is. Anyway, this consultation is not medical advice. It is advice based on my 20 years. Is that crazy? 20 years of clinical experience helping women get and stay pregnant. It is advice based on my best selling books in the space of fertility. If you guys are new to me, I am Aimee of aimeeraupp.com. Go to my website, start with aimeeraupp.com/books, and you can learn all about the books that I've written. I have two in the space of fertility. One is called Yes, You Can Get Pregnant, and the most recent book that I've written is called The Egg Quality Diet. It has reached thousands of women at this point, and so many have seen incredible results with following the diet as laid out. So here's what you need to do. If you want to join me live right now, you have to hit that little plus button at the bottom of your screen and that will request to join me live.

And then I'm going to let a few more come on because there were so many comments. So the number one way to get chosen, by the way, is to comment on the post when I promote the Hot Seat. So we did a reel last night that my team made, and it's beautiful and I love it. And there was lots of comments. And so all of those women, oh, well, people, all of those people, your names are in my head. And so I'm going to see who has requested to join me live. And if you're someone who has commented on the post, chances are your name's familiar to me and I'm going to pick you. That's how it goes. So we have been doing these, I've been doing these now for over a year, maybe two years. So there's lots of Hot Seats. You can search them just going through my Instagram feed and my posts and you'll see the fertility Hot Seats.

But they're great. I love them. I know so many practitioners actually follow along because they get a lot of ideas on how to best support their clients. And I know so many other warriors on the journey follow along just to get insight and advice on what, one comment that I saw that I loved was, I love watching these because I really learn what to ask for and how to advocate for myself with my doctors, and it just makes me feel so good because that really is deep down the level of service why I do what I do and why I even host something like this is just to give you guys the direction and support that you deserve because it's overwhelming out there, and there's so much information. And I actively see clients all day long and either in the clinic or online in my coaching practice. And so believe me, my finger is on the pulse of all the things going on, all the talks, all the discussions, all the tests, all the medicines, all the things.

Plus then I have my area of expertise in Chinese medicine, my area of expertise in functional medicine, my area of expertise in herbal medicine, and as a clinician that really, I just help you pull it all together. Well, I love you back, Giselle. Thank you for your sweet words. Yeah, it's a pleasure. It's an honor and it's a pleasure. And I would have it no other way. Just so you guys know too, I work with a coach and she was like, you give so much of yourself away. And I was like, I do. I know it, but I love it and I'm not giving up my Hot Seats. No way, Jose. And just so you know too, what'd you say, Elizabeth? I'm pregnant, actually at 41, after following you for a few years and doing so many of the things you recommended, I used to watch your lives regularly, feel so amazing to be back. Oh, Elizabeth, thank you. Okay. You were amazing. Oh, congrats on your first baby at 41.

I don't know if you guys saw too, we did a story of Hope. I recorded it just because it's ease and we posted it live last week, but a woman who's been, just like you, Elizabeth, just follows me, does all the things I talk about here, reads my books, has it ever coached with me or my team, three pregnancies, healthy children, two between the ages of 43, she had pregnancy of 43, 45, and she's about to give birth at 47, all healthy children, three pregnancies in her mid to late forties. So fuck you Western medicine and all your goddamn rules about our egg quality in our age, right? Go shove it is what I say to that.

Yeah. Okay. Let's see. I know phase two is tough, Michelle, hang in there. You're almost there. Yeah, go and watch the story of Hope. It's great. It's not long. 20 minutes in and out. We just kind of talk about the big things that she did and that's why I share them. And I always ask, women send me, I have three emails right now that I have permission to post that women send me emails all the time that are like, oh my gosh, I did this. I did your reboot then. Or I coach with so-and-so then, and I just want to share, we have our healthy baby here. And then I always write back and I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm so excited for you. The email gets to me because it's either sent to inf@aimeeraupp.com or somebody else gets to me. And then I always say, do I have permission to post this?

And they say yes. And then I say, most of the time, and then I say, do you want to do a story of Hope with me? And then they say, oh my gosh, yes. And some women say, no, I'm not ready. Not my style. I'm like, that's fine. You don't have to, not your style. We don't have to share your story, but know that your story inspires so many. And I'm so grateful for your willingness to share and your bravery, really. You guys are true warriors. It makes me emotional. You're so brave and you keep going and you go for what you know want and you know deserve and I believe in you.

Okay, so let's see who's here. Okay. Let's see. Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, [inaudible 00:06:20], and I'm going to have a piece of paper to take notes because [inaudible 00:06:30] that's how I always do it. And let's see. Oh, you help us keep going. Well, okay, accepted. Okay, so she declined Aliana. Alexandra declined. So this is possible. All right, Michelle, I think you were another one who had a comment or a question on the post. So let's go with you and let's see.

Michelle:

Hi.

Aimee Raupp:

Here you go. Hi. How are you?

Michelle:

I'm good. Oh my God. I was just in the bath tub. I was taking care of myself, taking care of myself.

Aimee Raupp:

This is okay.

Michelle:

It's a joy warm bath. Yeah.

Aimee Raupp:

There we go. I know. Yes. You need a good bath. I had two yesterday and it really helped. I was not feeling great. Two baths changed the game for me. Were you the one that asked the question about exercise? Is that the same? Michelle? Yeah. Okay.

Michelle:

Hi. Hi. I'm good.

Aimee Raupp:

Nice to meet you.

Michelle:

Just did my acupuncture today. And I was also the one who's in phase two right now, so I'm almost done with that. Doing everything for the egg at the moment. So I'm 43 years old.

Aimee Raupp:

Give us your story.

Michelle:

I've been trying for, almost four years, and my AMH is super low, 0.08. The FSH was high, but I got a bit lower and just, I had two miscarriages, but I always had just almost one follicle. And it's just, I believe that it's there, that I can get pregnant. I just need to get, shift the right thing, do the right diet. But it's getting tougher as you're getting older. And I've been reading your books, Egg Quality Diet, and of course, Yes, You Can Get Pregnant. And before this I did sports every day, basically kind of CrossFit. And that made me so happy. But I was told by so many people that, oh, don't do that. You need to cut it out because it'll cause more inflammation, et cetera, et cetera. But I find myself kind of like, I don't have that joy. Yoga just doesn't do it for me. So I'm just like, what is that right balance for someone who is at my age?

Aimee Raupp:

And I think that it's a great question and it's always [inaudible 00:08:51]. So can I ask some questions first before I fully answer it? So tell me about the miscarriages. When did they happen? How far along?

Michelle:

Yeah, so the first one was in 2019, I think. And that one was basically just on week four, basically I found out and then a week later it was. That one wasn't also planned. And then one week later I just kind of miscarriage. And then the second one was through a IUI because I was supposed to do IVF, but I ovulated early, so they converted it to an IUI and I became pregnant and it lasted till week, that was till [inaudible 00:09:30].

Aimee Raupp:

When was that?

Michelle:

So it was, yeah, yeah. And then I got to week 7.

Aimee Raupp:

Okay. And were [inaudible 00:09:42] and things of that nature. And they saw-

Michelle:

[inaudible 00:09:45], suddenly it just stopped. I guess they didn't find a heartbeat or anything.

Aimee Raupp:

We didn't collect tissue, so we don't know anything, right?

Michelle:

I also live in Germany, so that's also one thing. It is, it's, yeah-

Aimee Raupp:

Tough, they're tough with miscarriage. [inaudible 00:10:03].

Michelle:

Yeah, it's really hard to get [inaudible 00:10:04]. That's my other thing. It's hard to get information here because it's a different approach to fertility. So it's not personalized.

Aimee Raupp:

I mean, I've had handfuls. It's very shameful almost. Right?

Michelle:

Yeah. I don't feel that I'm getting, everything I've done is my own research. It's not been from doctors. Yeah.

Aimee Raupp:

Yeah. And then so have you done fertility treatments since that IUI?

Michelle:

[inaudible 00:10:32]. Nothing. We've had IVF taken out, but I don't know because I also have a very thin lining, so I never know. It doesn't stick or does it not go, just…

Aimee Raupp:

Have you ever had a hysteroscopy?

Michelle:

Yeah.

Aimee Raupp:

For biopsy.

Michelle:

Five months ago, and I had one of those, what do you call it, heart shaped, a little bit of a heart shape that, yeah. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So they fixed that.

Aimee Raupp:

Okay, the [inaudible 00:11:03]. And what about endometrial biopsy to see if you have endometry? Did anyone test it

Michelle:

They also did that, but just thin lining.

Aimee Raupp:

No, endometriosis. Good.

Michelle:

Yeah, it's just thin lining.

Aimee Raupp:

Thin lining and low count basically. And then meds wise, what are you typically doing with [inaudible 00:11:22].

Michelle:

I usually do letrozole. I start with letrozole for the first sort of, okay, five days. And then they go in a check again. And then I might start like a mini, what do you call it? A mini protocol with, yeah, yeah.

Aimee Raupp:

Yeah. Like [inaudible 00:11:39].

Michelle:

Yeah, Menopur and Gonal. Yeah. I can't remember the name, sorry.

Aimee Raupp:

So what I would recommend, and this is just again based on what I've witnessed and learned from some of the doctors I work with, that a general rule of thumb, if there's less than three antral follicles, do not do any injections. Only do the letrozole and maybe, yeah, to see, I don't know. I mean that might have to be a decision that you make on your own to just because the meds and especially the Menopur when you have that, when don't have a ton of follicles, seems to, it can really impact the quality. And then also, if you come in with the Gonal or the Follistim at a higher dose, even a 150 can really impact. And so doing the letrozole seems to just give the juice.

Michelle:

That's good to know. Because I also notice I lost probably 40% of my hair. It just thinned out from all the medicine. And today I went for a scan. It's very strange because I am supposed to be on my cycle day 11, but I have a cyst, what do you call it? A corpus luteum cyst. But they said it's okay. It's been there for one week.

Aimee Raupp:

From last month probably.

Michelle:

[inaudible 00:12:57] every day. So it's really high. And I have no idea where I'm in the cycle right now because I'm nowhere close to ovulation, even though I'm on cycle day 11. So I just told them, what shall I do? I'm just going to wait till next cycle begins. But I'm really confused. I don't know if it's because I'm doing the flushing everything at the moment, if that has anything to do with it, but it's just right now, yeah.

Aimee Raupp:

So your progesterone was high as if you ovulated, what was it?

Michelle:

25 something, but.

Aimee Raupp:

Could you have ovulated early like on day 7 or something like that?

Michelle:

No, because I know my body. And this month it was also, so sorry for the TMI, but I always had very brown, no, it was cloudy and brown and it's always been, after the hysteroscopy I got more flesh and blood. But this month it was quite brown and I took progesterone after I had ovulated last month. And I was just cramping quite like a few days after. And then I just don't know what's happening right now with my cycle. Yeah.

Aimee Raupp:

Good. What was your estrogen, do you know? Was estrogen test [inaudible 00:14:09]?

Michelle:

I don't know.

Aimee Raupp:

Okay. Okay. So with all this thin lining, low count, kind of the hair loss, that kind of stuff, how about when you started Egg Quality Diet? How many red flags would you say you had? A lot or?

Michelle:

26, yeah.

Aimee Raupp:

Are some of them, tell me, what are the big ones?

Michelle:

The sleepiness. So I have really difficulty falling asleep. Also, I'm quite sleepy during the day. When I'm in the morning, I don't wake up refreshed. I don't actually sleep well through the night. What else is it? I think hair loss was one of them. Just memory. Memory loss, yeah, memory loss, fog.

Aimee Raupp:

So like fog. Okay.

Michelle:

Oh gosh, what else? Cold, was cold feet and hands on that. Yeah. Yeah. Cold feet and hands, often cold feet and hands.

Aimee Raupp:

And how different is the diet now than what yours typical is?

Michelle:

It is quite different. Because I used to love to eat a lot of sugars. And I guess nightshades, I always ate quite healthy, but I did steer off and just go into sugars and yeah, it was hard to control myself. Yeah, it's really hard and-

Aimee Raupp:

It's hard. This has been a long time.

Michelle:

[inaudible 00:15:29] and I just like, you just want to comfort yourself with some comfort food. Yeah. And I love the pasta and everything, but it's generally helpful, but I kind of recognize that maybe I should cut out the gluten dairy sauce, but here we go.

Aimee Raupp:

And that's George Harrison behind you, that your George Harrison behind you.

Michelle:

Oh, thanks.

Aimee Raupp:

It's my favorite man.

Michelle:

[inaudible 00:15:54] anxiety. Sorry, I just found my [inaudible 00:15:57] sheet.

Aimee Raupp:

I always joke, this is a total aside and it won't go into your time, but my dad's name was Harry, my grandfather and my brother. They're all Harry's. And my son's name is James Harrison, and I always joked that he's named one part after my dad and the other part after George Harrison.

Michelle:

[inaudible 00:16:16] my sweet Lord.

Aimee Raupp:

Yeah, he is.

Michelle:

I got my list. Sorry. Yeah, it was anxiety-

Aimee Raupp:

So read through anything else that jumps out.

Michelle:

… [inaudible 00:16:26], brain fog, cold hands, constipation, depression, very difficulty concentration thing, dizziness, dry nails or brittle nails.

Aimee Raupp:

Yeah. Okay. So you need the fat and the protein.

Michelle:

Just hair thinning, headaches, mood swings, peeling nails, reflux. Yeah.

Aimee Raupp:

Okay. How are you feeling so far on phase two? Phase two is tough, but how are you feeling?

Michelle:

I'm feeling good. Sleep is better, sleeping better. The first week wasn't so great, but I also think it's because of my cycle. The digestion is getting, so I feel like something is happening, but it's not on a regular schedule. Things are shifting.

Aimee Raupp:

Okay. Things are shifted.

Michelle:

But I'm feeling good.

Aimee Raupp:

And then thyroid's been checked and vitamin D levels. Yeah, how's that?

Michelle:

Yeah, that's good.

Aimee Raupp:

Okay. All fine. Okay. And when are you taking supplement wise?

Michelle:

I take Tru Niagen, I take CoQ10. I take the liver pills because I can't eat liver. Vitamin E, I take prenatal and oh, NAC. Is it called NAC? Yeah. NAC and then-

Aimee Raupp:

NAC. Yeah.

Michelle:

Yeah. Just folic acid. [inaudible 00:17:47].

Aimee Raupp:

You take extra folic acid on top of the prenatal?

Michelle:

I need 800, and my prenatal is at 400, so I take another 400 on top.

Aimee Raupp:

And folic acid or methyl folate?

Michelle:

Folic acid.

Aimee Raupp:

Can you switch to methyl folate? Can you find one? Because most people have the [inaudible 00:18:12] par mutation. You might have it like 50, 80%. And then we can't utilize folic acid. It just is like a toxin when we eat it. So you're better off. And that could be part of even the miscarriages if the baby comes in and there's not enough of the folate in your system, it just doesn't have enough to develop. So it's like, that's one thing I would think about is make sure your fish oil, I would go up to at least 2000, maybe even 3000 milligrams based on some of your symptoms, the fish oil per day. I would get methyl folate. I think in Europe it's easy to find the Thorn brand. The Thorn prenatal is the best. That's the one I would do. Thorn prenatal, three a day. And you'll get plenty of methyl folate. You don't need the extra folic acid. And then I like the Tru Niagen, I would stay at like one pill of the Tru Niagen. Try not to go higher than 50 milligrams.

Michelle:

I do.

Aimee Raupp:

It's too much.

Michelle:

Like I do three of the 300.

Aimee Raupp:

Yeah, it'll burn you out. It's like it can be a very hot substance. So that could be part of like, yeah, I wouldn't go that high. And NAC you could do 900, 1200, that's fine. You're on liver. And then the vitamin D is fine. You don't take anything extra. Yeah, vitamin D.

Michelle:

[inaudible 00:19:31].

Aimee Raupp:

Okay. Vitamin D. Just, okay. And then will you do in your luteal phase, do you do a baby aspirin or a low dose aspirin?

Michelle:

I really don't know if it makes a difference or not, to be honest. So I have done it, but I've done IVF.

Aimee Raupp:

With the two losses. I would think about that. You know what I mean of it's not going to, it's pretty benign if you will. I would do the low dose aspirin. You can of course clear it with your doctor in luteal phase and post transfer. And then I would consider the low dose meds. If you're doing an IVF of either, just don't take them or tell your doctor, you know what, I want to try something different. I just want to do letrozole this month and I want to see what we get. Because are you getting embryos to transfer or not even getting, they don't make it to transfer.

Michelle:

I only get one usually so what they do is after two days, they put it right back in. So I also don't know if to become [inaudible 00:20:25], so I've always had luck with that on the only one time, the last time it didn't develop, but I always get embryos. Yeah, yeah.

Aimee Raupp:

Yeah. And you put it back in day two. Okay. And sperm health is fine. Yeah. You've had that checked. Okay. Okay. So going back to the original question, the exercise. So kind of based on things being what we would say, yin deficient, blood deficient in Chinese medicine, which is probably if you did the quiz in the back of Yes, You Can Get Pregnant, you probably fall into that category. Sweating too much can compromise you. So it's like, but let me finish, because it might still be where you could do some of your high intense workouts, but maybe you're just doing 20 minutes, two times, three times a week, keeping it at that level. I think once you could be pregnant, I would try to, what would you do? What are some of the exercises you do that aren't high intense.

Michelle:

I would sit down with the weights and do more body weight stuff. Yeah. So there is a program for [inaudible 00:21:30]-

Aimee Raupp:

That's exactly what I.

Michelle:

… I also have for that. So that did start back then. Yeah.

Aimee Raupp:

Yeah. Okay. So that's what I would do of, because I think there is a fine line of putting your life on hold for baby, but now you're four years in where's freaking baby? And now I don't get to do anything I enjoy anymore. That sucks. You know what I mean? So for you, I want you to think about the short spurs are probably going to be the best for you, and they probably get your energy out. So I would almost do the 20 minute high intense workouts, two, max three times a week. I think that's great because you'll still work up a sweat, but it will be hot yoga sweat or sitting in a sauna for a 30, 40 minute sweat. But it kind of gets out that frustration and the stagnation. I think that'd be a really good approach.

And then especially if you're following the dietary recommendations of really aim for getting that high amount of protein, that 80 grams of protein in and those good quality fats, because the fat is what's going to thicken that lining, that fat is what's going to make those follicles more juicy and the eggs more juicy. And then saying the hair loss, the cold hands and feet, all of that is telling us there's not enough blood. So those liver pills are really helpful. The acupuncture is really good for the flow. And then if your acupuncturists can put you on herbs too, to build your blood, have they ever done that? Any blood [inaudible 00:22:49].

Michelle:

I think I've had some teas, they are the herbs. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Aimee Raupp:

I would talk. And if you're not on them now, I would maybe consider teas regularly-

Michelle:

Can you make [inaudible 00:23:02] supplements? Oh, you can.

Aimee Raupp:

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, maybe don't take them at the exact same time, but maybe, I do my herbs either in the morning or at night and make a tea and just kind of have a ritual of it. So it's a way from my herbs.

Michelle:

Yeah, I can get that.

Aimee Raupp:

Okay. And then I would increase the fish oil. Like I said, let's switch the prenatal. What else am I missing here? Maybe a good probiotic or you on a probiotic?

Michelle:

Yeah, I have one, but I don't know if it's a good one. I also didn't know if I should do a proper, a probiotic, what do you call it? Cure? I can't remember the English word for it. Yeah, but just a treatment that lasts for a month. But I was also considering that.

Aimee Raupp:

Oh.

Michelle:

You go-

Aimee Raupp:

You mean like a-

Michelle:

[inaudible 00:23:54], you have it. They give you a powder and some pills that you're supposed to take for a month or something to flush everything out. Yeah.

Aimee Raupp:

Oh, okay. And it's like to your microbiome?

Michelle:

No.

Aimee Raupp:

Is it specific to you or is it?

Michelle:

It's just like package that they have here.

Aimee Raupp:

No, yeah, so I tend to like soil-based probiotics, that's how I think they're good ones. Seed over here in the US is a great one, but there's Klaire Labs makes good ones. Look for soil-based probiotics, which are usually, generally speaking, of course, pretty good. And you want to think about, I also like to rotate, do one probiotic one month and then try a different one, and that seems to help the body. And then if you don't have any negative reactions to histamines or to any fermented foods, those are also just a great way to get real good probiotics in. So you'll see that in the diet. We talk about the kimchi or the kombucha, that type of thing. Some people react poorly to the histamines in there, but some do great. And then that's a great source of probiotics. And then you don't need to take extra pills.

Michelle:

Great. Yeah. Thank you.

Aimee Raupp:

Yeah. And so let me think what else. You did the hysteroscopy, you ruled out endometriosis, the lining is thin. So I do, I think that's the goal is we want to work on thickening that. So I would do abdominal Gua Sha with the caster oil. Get caster oil and then Gua Sha over your abdomen, that really helps with circulation and blood flow. It really does help with AMH too. I mean, obviously it's anecdotal, what I've seen clinically, but I think because you're improving circulation and blood flow of the ovaries, so the AMH comes up and the ovarian function improves. And if you have practitioners over there that are doing mild abdominal massage or your acupuncturist knows someone, that's another thing to think about. Especially with the period being this past time, it almost sounds like you just had a cycle that didn't go well. Right. Basically.

Michelle:

[inaudible 00:25:57], it doesn't flow where I should be at all. Like right now, I should be ovulating, close to ovulating.

Aimee Raupp:

And will you see good cervix mucus with ovulation?

Michelle:

Just yeah, now.

Aimee Raupp:

Oh, we see that.

Michelle:

Yeah, it's dry and yeah, dry temperature's high. So I think it…

Aimee Raupp:

Yeah, it almost seems like you did ovulate but early or maybe that bleed was some kind of cyst rupturing or something like that.

Michelle:

Yeah, there is no lining there.

Aimee Raupp:

Yeah. Oh, that's interesting. She should see a lining in that luteal place. There's no lining, but your progesterone's up. And when was the last time you took progesterone? How long has it been? When was it then?

Michelle:

A week and a half ago. A week and a half, two weeks ago. Almost two weeks.

Aimee Raupp:

Okay. Yeah. So that should not be in your system. And then do you ever do estrogen?

Michelle:

I do.

Aimee Raupp:

Or estrogen priming?

Michelle:

I do estrogen just to, that has helped me get a triple line. So I get to, when it's good, I get to six millimeters, six or seven millimeters. Yeah. Yeah.

Aimee Raupp:

Okay. And then how much of the letrozole will you do? How many tablets?

Michelle:

3 a day. Yeah.

Aimee Raupp:

Yeah. Maybe even less of that. You might do better. Because considering your history with that IUI, what were you on then? I know that's two years ago, three years ago, crap, right?

Michelle:

Actually, I was on letrozole as well. Yeah. Yeah. I think-

Aimee Raupp:

How much?

Michelle:

I have to look on my protocol. Yeah, I can check what was I was on.

Aimee Raupp:

Yeah, it's almost like thinking about less is more, especially when there's not a huge antral follicle count that it just, the meds can, I think they almost saturate the eggs. So it's like you want just let them, almost want to just, I always say microwave versus slow cook, you want to really think about kind of slow cooking them and maybe even starting estrogen. This is another idea. I mean, I'm sure you have a ton of meds and everybody can listen here. Starting estrogen in your luteal phase, it won't impact whether or not you get pregnant. If you got pregnant, it can only help support the lining. But it's like estrogen priming. So you're starting it before the next bleed, before the next cycle. And so the estrogen's there, and so those eggs are already kind of getting primed and ready to go for.

Michelle:

But won't that prevent ovulation sometimes, if it's high. Oh, it won't.

Aimee Raupp:

Estrogen won't prevent ovulation. Progesterone will. You could take estrogen all month long. Yeah. And then I would consider the baby aspirin too. And then I would definitely do the high dose fish oil too. Maybe even 3000 for a month or two. And let's see how you are in phase three. If a lot of your red flags are going away, you could probably go back down to 2000 of the fish oil. But that really just comes in saturate and coats things too. Such a great source of fat for the eggs.

Michelle:

So I did [inaudible 00:28:55] that you suggested from your page. Yeah. Atlantic, Nordic Atlantic or something. Yeah, no, yeah, Nordic Natural.

Aimee Raupp:

Nordic Natural. Yeah.

Michelle:

I used to do a teaspoon. So do you think I should do a tablespoon then, or is it pills, one and a half?

Aimee Raupp:

Or one and a half teaspoons. Maybe go up by one and a half, go to one and a half. This is like one teaspoon, is how many grams. I never ever can remember this. I haven't ever known in my, yeah, to be precise, but it depends. So one teaspoon, no say, everybody's saying different, five grams. That's not true. I have to look at fish oil. That's tablespoon. Sorry, one tablespoon. Yeah. So one teaspoon 5ml is about 1300 milligrams. So yeah, I would go, you could then in that vein, you could actually double it.

Michelle:

Okay. So two teaspoons, basically a tablespoon. Yeah.

Aimee Raupp:

Teaspoon of cod liver oil contains about, yeah, 800. Again, these are so vague, 888 milligrams of omega-3, but then you get the vitamin A and the D and all that, so. Yeah, I would do two teaspoons actually. And then, yeah, one table, two a day is even safe. But I do two teaspoons and yeah, okay. Do you have any questions for me right now?

Michelle:

Oh, no. Thank you so much. Yeah, yeah. Really.

Aimee Raupp:

Do you feel like the exercise question has been answered?

Michelle:

Yes, I just feel like it's just like you say in, Yes, You Can Get Pregnant book, it's like all about mindset and finding the joy as well. So that's like where I am right now is just to kind of believe in myself. I think that's the hardest because I've kind of lost hope in my body. So it's just like I know I can, because I'm doing everything for the eating lives, but it's just connecting with myself again, if you know what I mean. And this book is sort of helping me to get back there and do that. I know I need to go back to things that bring me joy, but thank you for all the resource and information. You are just amazing. So thank you so much.

Aimee Raupp:

You're so welcome.

Michelle:

Thank you so much.

Aimee Raupp:

Michelle:

How do I do that?

Aimee Raupp:

I know. I think you would just hit leave.

Michelle:

There's no leave button. I'm so sorry, maybe I don't.

Aimee Raupp:

No, it's okay.

Michelle:

I'm just going to [inaudible 00:31:37].

Aimee Raupp:

It's okay if you don't have.

Michelle:

… and see what happens. I'll leave.

Aimee Raupp:
