Fertility Freak Podcast

“Should I take a pregnancy test? Should I wait?” If you’ve ever found yourself staring at the calendar, analyzing every symptom, and praying this is the month, this episode is for you. Host Michelle Tillman, fertility coach and founder of the Fertility Freak Podcast, shares both personal and professional wisdom on how to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of a late period while trying to conceive.Michelle discusses what to do (and what not to do) in those agonizing days of waiting, how to interpret your basal body temperature (BBT), and the importance of protecting your mental and emotional health. With her signature mix of faith and practical advice, she walks listeners through how to stay grounded, hopeful, and connected—even when disappointment hits.What You’ll LearnHow to know when to take a pregnancy test (and when to wait)Why tracking your basal body temperature (BBT) can offer real insight into your cyclePractical ways to manage stress, disappointment, and faith-based emotions during the two-week waitHow to protect your sanity and keep hope alive through community, coaching, and prayerMichelle’s personal approach to balancing faith and science on the TTC journeyMichelle reminds listeners that faith and fertility are not opposites—they work together. While data like your BBT provides valuable information, faith sustains you when results don’t look the way you hoped. It’s okay to hope, to pray, and to feel deeply when your period is late—just make sure you have spiritual and emotional boundaries in place.Key TakeawaysWait at least five days after your missed period before testing.Track your BBT daily to spot trends—rising temps may signal pregnancy, dropping temps may indicate menstruation.Pay attention to external factors (sleep, stress, illness, environment) that may influence your temperature or cycle.Stay connected—reach out to a friend, therapist, or fertility community for support.Give yourself permission to feel—disappointment, anger, and hope all have a place in this process.Resources MentionedTempDrop Basal Body Thermometer – https://www.tempdrop.comUse code FERTILITYFREAK for 15% offFertility Cheat Code eBook – fertilitycheatcode.comPregnancy Protocol 4S Formula – Learn how to work with Michelle to get pregnant faster bit.ly/fertilityfreakpod

Today Michelle sits with Ashley, a new mom who conceived naturally after a previous loss and a stack of confusing diagnoses: fibroids, silent endometriosis, and a blocked fallopian tube. Ashley shares how a faith-aligned plan, cycle tracking with Tempdrop, luteal support (progesterone), nutrition rhythms (including a simple fasting window), and consistent prayer shifted her journey. If you’ve ever felt stuck between “the diagnosis” and God’s promise, this one will lift your faith and give you practical next steps.Key takeawaysConfusing diagnoses don’t cancel God’s promise—seek clarity and alignment.The “silent” part of endometriosis can make it easy to miss—advocate for yourself.Basic tests like HSG should be early in the workup—don’t be afraid to ask for them.Cycle intel matters: Tempdrop identified ovulation & helped time intercourse.Short luteal phase? Talk to your provider about progesterone support.Nutrition disciplines + a gentle fasting window supported hormone balance.Having a faith-aligned coach/community provided accountability, prayer, and timely encouragement.Choosing a path: why Ashley stayed natural even when IVF was suggested.Spiritual shift first: “I didn’t feel different physically—but spiritually, a burden lifted.”Work With Michelle: Learn Michelle’s 4S Formula and begin implementing holistic strategies for a faith-filled fertility journey:bit.ly/fertilityfreakpod

If you’re feeling weary from PCOS, irregular periods, or a past loss—this episode is your reminder that breakthrough is possible. Aaliyah (29) walks us through her honest path from a chemical pregnancy and a tough first round of letrozole to conceiving after one aligned month of small, doable changes: allergen-informed meal prep, gentle carb and sweets reduction, consistent ovulation tracking (OPKs/BBT/Mira), and strengthening her faith through tithing, forgiveness, and community. She also shares postpartum truth—PPD, an unplanned epidural/C-section, and working from home with a baby—plus the supports that helped (hello, pelvic floor PT and lots of grace). If you’ve wondered, “Will it ever be my turn?”—lean in. This conversation says yes.Why You’ll Leave EncouragedIt’s not one perfect step—it's alignment. Medical tools + nutrition + mindset + community can work together.You can personalize your path. Allergen testing and simple food swaps can calm insulin resistance with PCOS.Your window is findable. OPKs, BBT, and trend-based devices like Mira help you time ovulation without obsessing.Faith fuels resilience. Tithing “what you have,” practicing forgiveness, and staying in community lighten the load.Postpartum honesty helps. If your birth or fourth trimester looks different than planned, you are not failing—you’re adapting.Key TakeawaysPCOS & irregular periods don’t disqualify you—consistency and alignment matter.Letrozole (5-day early-cycle protocol per physician) can be powerful when paired with timing (OPKs/BBT/Mira).Allergen testing + meal prep can stabilize insulin resistance (think protein swaps like turkey, lower sweets/refined carbs).Community accountability (meal-planning buddy, faith-based group) keeps momentum when motivation dips.Pelvic floor PT (prenatal & postpartum) supports recovery—especially after C-section or unexpected birth changes.Grace is a strategy. Plans may shift; your story can still bloom.Work With Michelle: Learn Michelle’s 4S Formula and begin implementing holistic strategies for a faith-filled fertility journey:bit.ly/fertilityfreakpod
