We're pregnant with our first baby, and there is a lot more to share than the announcement. From how long it took us to conceive to the moment we saw a positive test, this is the personal side of a journey I have spent years preparing for.
Join the most comprehensive *female-specific community for health and longevity optimization.* After over a decade dedicated to human performance and women’s health, I created this space to share everything you need to know to optimize health and lifespan. Inside, you’ll get access to exclusive protocols, live Q&As, the latest female longevity science, and a private, supportive community of like-minded women.
My husband, Warren, joins me to answer your questions about conceiving naturally, why we previously froze eggs and created embryos, and the changes we made while trying. We also share how my wearable data gave me an early clue, how I told Warren, and what has already changed in my sleep, meals and daily routine.
We talk about the family we hope to build, our early thoughts on birth and parenting, and the conversations we are having as we prepare to become mom and dad. We also open up about getting married quickly, learning to communicate, our marriage meetings, and the role our Christian faith plays in our life together. We are still figuring plenty of this out, and I wanted to share that part of the story, too.
In this conversation:
How long it took us to conceive and why this pregnancy was not through IVF
Warren's sperm testing and decision to pause sauna while we were trying
The early signs I noticed before taking a pregnancy test
Changes to my sleep, food and exercise plans
Our thoughts on birth, breastfeeding and life with a newborn
Would you like a part two? Leave the question you would most like Warren and me to answer next.
