What if I'm really busy? How much of a commitment is this program?
You can log in anytime you can listen to the videos or watch them as it works for you. There are no assignments, just inspiration and suggestions for easy changes in your days. There is about 2.5-3 hours of video time and time to review the handouts. We will have Zoom meetings during the program - but they will all be recorded and you can watch them on your own time (or skip it).
Should I wait to see if I get pregnant easily? Why prepare?

Does this help PCOS?
Oh yes. The movement, stress reduction, and food sections address the diet and lifestyle factors known to help PCOS.
Does this help endometriosis?
Since endometriosis is an inflammatory condition, woman can see real benefit with this protocol.
Can this guarantee results?
This protocol is a way for Dr. Kara and Dr. Hillary to share the best practices they’ve learned from helping thousands of women conceive over the years. There’s no way to guarantee that anyone will get pregnant from this protocol. Everyone’s body is different, and everyone’s situation is different. It’s worked for thousands of other women, and it may work for you, too.
Can’t I just figure this out on my own?
Dr. Kara’s and Dr. Hillary’s approach to natural fertility is on the cutting edge. They combine modern science with traditional Chinese medicine, over 30 years of clinical experience in their private practices, and their own experiences with infertility to create a course that is bursting with knowledge that you won’t find anywhere else.
While they often reference scientific studies in their work, the combination of science with decades of in-clinic experience is something you won’t find anywhere else.
Do I need to attend any live calls to be in this program?
Nope! Everything is pre-recorded, which means you can watch it entirely at your own pace and you don’t have to worry about being around at certain times.
Can I work with the doctors one-on-one?
Yes! The doctors are available for private consultations by appointment. See "work with the doctors" on the cultivate fertility website.
