“Be your own advocate and be more involved with what’s going on with you!” - Amanda

Today’s podcast guest is Amanda from West Texas. She and her husband have been trying to conceive since 2018. Amanda tells Mary about her fertility journey with 8 rounds of Clomid. She was diagnosed with bilateral tubal blockage with hydrosalpinx. She later had surgery in 2019 to repair one fallopian tube and was diagnosed with endometriosis. Amanda did 2 IUIs in January and February 2020. Her fertility timeline was disrupted due to COVID and she is taking it day by day. She eventually plans on doing an HSG (dye test) and IVF later in the year.

Amanda has improved her diet and has seen improvements in the number of follicles developing. She focused on better portion sizes, lean meats, and increased varieties of vegetables. She is exercising more and is trying to decrease stress.

I’m thrilled to have Amanda on the podcast, sharing her journey of bilateral tubal blockage with hydrosalpinx, endometriosis, and IUI. Follow along Amanda’s journey on Instagram @infertility_journeytobabyc
