The whole premise behind the 90 Day Infertility Challenge, besides walking away from my last IVF cycle the June with no regrets, is that our eggs actually come out of dormancy 3 months before we use them. I found the best website Natural Infertility Health with an article and diagram to explain this. During this 90 day period before an egg is ovulated, the eggs are changing and preparing for ovulation. During the tonic growth phase and protein syntheses between 90 and 20 days prior to ovulation (see the yellow section of the image below) the eggs are able to be affected, by both healthy or unhealthy influences. The eggs can be affected by blood flow, proper oxygenation, hormonal balance, nutritional intake, and stress. The article goes on to explain how we can address each of these areas. Like I have said in the in other areas of this blog when I did a similar 90 day cleanse during IVF#3 I had by far the best results of my four rounds of IVF.
