May 25 57. The Energy Behind PMOS (PCOS) Nobody Is Talking About (And What Your Body Is Really Saying)
One in 10 women are diagnosed with PMOS (previously PCOS), and most are only getting half the picture. In this episode of the Her Fertility Podcast, fertility support specialist Jess Tims goes beyond hormones and cysts to explore the energetic root of PMOS: what your body is actually communicating, and what it might take to finally feel at home in yourself again.
You'll learn:
→ What PMOS actually is and why it makes getting pregnant so confusing
→ The energetic connection between your ovaries and your personal power center
→ How people pleasing, identity confusion, and self-abandonment may be showing up in your body
→ Why PMOS is not a verdict — it's a message
→ How to start saying yes to yourself and what that has to do with your fertility
This episode draws from traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, Reiki healing, and somatic principles to offer a perspective on PMOS you won't find at your OB's office.

May 13 56. What Nobody Tells You About Pregnancy Loss (And How to Actually Heal)

One in four pregnancies ends in loss, and most women are navigating it completely alone.
In this episode of the Her Fertility Podcast, fertility support specialist Jess Tims explores what makes pregnancy loss categorically different from other grief, and why traditional therapy often isn't enough to fully heal it.
You'll learn:
→ Why pregnancy loss lives in the body, not just the mind
→ How the nervous system responds to loss (fight, flight, freeze & fawn)
→ What your subconscious mind is really doing when you blame yourself
→ A new, empowering story to give your mind so you can stop looping
→ The "spirit babies" framework, and why it brings so many women peace

April 2954. Should I Use IUI to Get Pregnant?
Are you trying to get pregnant and it's just not happening? Your missing piece might be between the mind + the body. Learn more about this deep connection in my free masterclass: ⁠www.herfertility.support/free⁠
If you've been wondering whether IUI (intrauterine insemination) is the right next step on your fertility journey — this episode was made for you. Host Jess Tims, certified fertility support practitioner and Reiki Master, walks through exactly how IUI works, who it's best suited for, what a typical monitored cycle looks like, and — crucially — the mindset reframe that can change everything about how you move through it.
"When you reframe IUI from something you failed into to a technology you are choosing to support your fertility — everything changes. That's not just a mindset shift. That's biology." — Jess Tims
What You'll Learn in This Episode
What IUI (intrauterine insemination) actually is — in plain language
How sperm washing works and why it matters for conception
The difference between a monitored IUI cycle and a natural IUI cycle
Which fertility medications are used in IUI protocols (Letrozole, Clomid, trigger shots) and what they do
When IUI is the right tool — and when it may not be
What an assisted cycle is, and why it might be the right step before IUI
Jess's personal experience: 6 rounds of Clomid, a mental reset, and the cycle that finally worked
The subconscious stories that come up when you start using fertility technology — and how to work with them
A real client success story: Casey's first-round IUI success after working with Jess
Why supporting your nervous system during IUI can improve how your body responds to treatment
IUI Step by Step: What the Process Actually Looks Like
A typical monitored IUI cycle
Start of your period: begin ovulation-stimulating medication (Letrozole or Clomid)
Follicular phase: ultrasound monitoring to track follicle development
Trigger shot: medication that triggers egg release at the optimal time
IUI procedure: washed sperm is inserted directly into the uterus, as close to the egg as possible
Two-week wait: the implantation window where you find out if it worked
Who IUI works best for
Male factor infertility: low sperm count, low motility, or morphology challenges
Women with ovulation irregularities who benefit from medicated support
Those using donor sperm
Women who want a less invasive and lower-cost step before IVF
Jess's Personal Story
After more than two years of trying to conceive, Jess noticed irregularities in her basal body temperature charts — a pattern that suggested something was off with ovulation. Her OB-GYN prescribed Clomid for up to six cycles before any referral to a specialist. Jess shares what those cycles felt like — the physical side (manageable), the mental side (heavier), the break she had to take, and the sixth cycle where everything changed.
"It was on our sixth cycle of Clomid that we got pregnant — and it was also the cycle we gave up trying. There's a lot of energy behind all of that, and I go deep on the science of it in the free masterclass."
The Mindset Piece Nobody Talks About
When women begin using fertility technology, the subconscious mind often interprets it as failure: 'Something is wrong with me.' 'Everyone else gets pregnant naturally.' 'I needed help.' Jess addresses this directly — and offers a reframe that isn't just feel-good language. It's grounded in how the nervous system responds to perceived threat vs. perceived choice.
When your brain registers IUI as something happening to you, it responds with stress. When it registers IUI as something you are choosing for yourself, the physiological response is different — and that difference matters for how receptive your body is to treatment.

April 27 Come Back to Yourself: Navigating Infertility Without Losing Who You Are
Click here to join the Fertility Frequency Collective
Infertility can make you feel completely disconnected from yourself. And this isn't just in your mind - this is tied to biology as well. This masterclass dives deep into the exhaustion of infertility despite 'doing everything right'. Here you'll learn about the biological shift that happens during infertility: chronic stress keeps the nervous system in survival mode, deprioritizing reproduction, and “giving up” created a signal of safety that let the reproductive system come back online.
Listen to see how the subconscious mind (95% of brain activity) reinforces threat loops that can’t be solved by information, affirmations, or talk therapy alone, and that regulation practices can interrupt the cycle quickly.
This is the part that modern medicine doesn't have time to explain, but the part that matters the most.

April 2253. Diminished Ovarian Reserve + Low AMH
Diminished Ovarian Reserve Explained: What a DOR Diagnosis Really Means — and What You Can Still Control
Her Fertility Podcast | Fertility Journey Series
A diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) diagnosis can feel like the ground disappearing beneath you — sudden, shocking, and like you've lost control of your own fertility story. In this episode of the Her Fertility Podcast, Jess Tims walks you through exactly what DOR means, what it doesn't mean, and what you can actually do next. You'll leave this episode with clarity on your five real options, the tools to regulate your nervous system while making high-stakes decisions, and honest answers to the most common questions women ask after receiving this diagnosis.
"A low AMH is not a countdown clock that just hit zero. It is data. And data gives you something to work with." — Jess Tims
What You'll Learn in This Episode
What AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone) is and how it's used to estimate egg count
The critical difference between egg quantity and egg quality — and why your AMH result doesn't tell you everything
What diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) actually means, and what it does not mean for your chances of getting pregnant
Why there are no symptoms for low ovarian reserve — and why the diagnosis so often comes as a shock
Your five options after a DOR diagnosis: trying naturally, IUI, IVF, egg freezing, and donor eggs
Why decision-making under a dysregulated nervous system leads to choices that feel misaligned
Practical tools to regulate your nervous system so you can make grounded, trust-based decisions
How to advocate for yourself when your doctor is pushing you toward a decision you're not ready for
Q&A from TikTok: Jess answers the most common DOR questions from real women
Understanding Your Diagnosis
What AMH measures — and what it doesn't
AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone) is secreted by the follicles in your ovaries. A higher AMH generally indicates more eggs remaining; a lower AMH indicates fewer. But AMH is a snapshot, not a sentence. It cannot measure egg quality, and it cannot give an exact egg count — that technology doesn't exist yet.
Diminished ovarian reserve means your egg count is lower than expected for your age. It does not automatically mean you cannot get pregnant. Age is one factor — not the only factor.
"AMH does not measure your egg quality. It only measures egg quantity. And there is currently no test that can tell you the quality of your eggs."
Your 5 Options After a DOR Diagnosis
Continue trying naturally — always a valid choice, best supported by a deep understanding of your own cycle. See Jess's free YouTube course: Aligned Cycles.
IUI (intrauterine insemination) — sperm is washed and inserted close to the cervix to optimize the chance of reaching the egg. Full IUI deep-dive coming in the next episode.
IVF (in vitro fertilization) — eggs are retrieved, fertilized in a lab, and viable embryos are transferred. Full IVF episode coming soon.
Egg freezing — if you're not ready to pursue pregnancy now, retrieving and freezing your eggs is a viable preservation option. Freezing technology has significantly improved in recent years.
Donor eggs — a flexible, increasingly accessible path with many clinic and agency options available. Full donor episode coming soon in this series.
What You Can Control
How you make decisions
You do not have to decide in the appointment room. If you feel pressured, advocate for yourself: 'Thank you for the information. I'm not ready to decide today — when do I need to get back to you by?' That question alone can change the dynamic entirely.
How you experience the journey
The shift from 'this is happening to me' to 'I have data and I am making informed choices' is not a bypass of grief. It's a different place to live from — and it's accessible. But it requires support. Your nervous system is the starting point.
Your nervous system
A dysregulated nervous system — one locked in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn — affects your hormones, your sleep, your inflammation levels, and your decision-making clarity. You cannot think your way out of a dysregulated body. You need to come back into it.
Daily practices that help: walking in nature without headphones, warm baths, breathwork, somatic meditation. The goal isn't to feel nothing — it's to feel grounded enough to hear yourself.
TikTok Q&A: Your Real Questions Answered
Q: Did I wait too long?
You will never know the answer to that — and focusing on it keeps you living in the past, where fear has the most room to operate. What matters now is what you do next. Pull yourself into the present moment: what do I know today, and how can I best support myself moving forward?
Q: What if I'm not ready to do IVF yet?
Listen to that. If your body is saying 'not yet,' your nervous system will fight the process the entire time. Egg freezing, an assisted cycle, or simply taking time to feel ready are all legitimate paths. Your readiness is part of the equation.
Q: How do I choose the right clinic or protocol?
Consult at least three clinics. You won't know what's most important to you — the data, the staff, the environment, the success rates — until you can compare. Many areas face fertility care deserts, so traveling for treatment may be a real consideration. Meet with clinics before committing.
Q: How do I talk to my partner about this?
Just start the conversation. You might frame it: 'I'm not looking to solve this right now — I just want to share what I know.' Set the expectation before you begin. Then let the conversation lead where it needs to go.
Q: How do I make decisions without fear running the show?
Fear lives in the past and in an imagined future. When you are grounded in the present — when you can feel the fear, acknowledge it, and return to your body — it loses its grip on your decisions. This is exactly the kind of work the Fertility Frequency Collective was built to support.

April 1352. Advanced Fertility Testing Before IUI or IVF: Everything You Need to Know About Male and Female Fertility Tests
Advanced Fertility Testing Before IUI or IVF: Everything You Need to Know About Male and Female Fertility Tests
Episode 52 | Her Fertility Podcast | Fertility Journey Series

Episode Overview
Before your doctor can recommend IUI or IVF, there's a set of advanced fertility tests that build the picture of what's actually happening in your body. In this episode of the Fertility Journey Series, Jess Tims walks through every test you're likely to encounter — for both the male and female partner — explaining what each one measures, how it's done, and what to make of the results. Jess also shares her own emotional experience with the HSG exam, and why preparing yourself emotionally for these appointments matters just as much as preparing physically.
"You don't want to waste any more time just because you don't know something. Ask. Ask your practitioner, ask about your insurance coverage, ask what comes next. Knowledge is how you advocate for yourself." — Jess Tims
What You'll Learn in This Episode
The advanced fertility tests typically prescribed before IUI or IVF — for both partners
What a semen analysis measures: sperm count, motility, and morphology — and why all three matter
What DNA fragmentation testing is and why Jess recommends it if it's available to you
How the female hormone panel works and why it's often done in two parts across your cycle
What AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone) is, what it estimates, and its important limitations
What the HSG exam is, how the procedure works, and why it's typically required before IUI or IVF
Jess's personal experience with the HSG — including what she wishes she had known beforehand
Why emotional preparation for fertility testing is as important as physical preparation
How to use test results alongside your inner guidance to make the best decision for your journey

The Tests at a Glance
Test
What it measures
Who it applies to
Semen analysis
Sperm count, motility (movement), and morphology (shape)
Male partner
DNA fragmentation
DNA abnormalities in sperm that could affect embryo development
Male partner (optional add-on)
Hormone panel
Reproductive hormone levels; progesterone tested separately in the luteal phase (around day 20)
Female partner
AMH test
Estimated ovarian reserve (egg count) via anti-Mullerian hormone level
Female partner
HSG exam
Whether fallopian tubes are open or blocked (using dye and imaging)
Female partner (typically required before IUI/IVF)

Male Fertility Testing
Semen analysis
A semen analysis is painless, non-invasive, and yields a significant amount of data. It can be ordered through your primary care physician, via a specialist referral, or done at home through services like Legacy (discount link in the show notes). The analysis measures:
Sperm count — the total number of sperm in the sample
Motility — how the sperm are moving (stationary sperm can't reach the egg)
Morphology — the shape of the sperm. Because the egg is the strongest cell in the female body, it takes a healthy, well-formed sperm to break through and fertilize it
DNA fragmentation analysis
An optional but valuable add-on to the standard semen analysis. This test examines the DNA makeup of the sperm for abnormalities that could affect embryo development — issues that wouldn't show up in a standard analysis. Jess recommends requesting this if it's accessible to you.
Female Fertility Testing
Advanced hormone panel (blood test)
This blood test measures your reproductive hormone levels. Many practitioners split it across two points in your cycle:
Cycle days 1–3 (during your period): hormones are at their baseline, giving a clear resting reading
Around day 20 (luteal phase): progesterone is tested here because this is when levels are highest and most meaningful
Coverage and protocols vary by practitioner and insurance provider. Ask your provider exactly which hormones they're testing and when, so you're not missing key data.
AMH test (anti-Müllerian hormone)
AMH is secreted by the follicles inside your ovaries. Your practitioner measures it via blood test to estimate your ovarian reserve — how many follicles you have remaining. Key things to understand about your AMH result:
It is a point-in-time reading — AMH levels can change as your overall health changes
It estimates quantity, not quality. There is currently no test that can directly measure egg quality
It is measured relative to your age — what's considered 'normal' shifts across different life stages
An exact egg count is not possible with current technology; AMH is the best available estimate
If your AMH comes back low, the next episode of the Fertility Journey Series is a full deep-dive on diminished ovarian reserve — what it means, your options, and how to move forward.
HSG exam (hysterosalpingogram)
The HSG exam checks whether your fallopian tubes are open or blocked. It is typically a mandatory test before IUI or IVF. During the procedure:
A dye is inserted into the uterus
Your body is positioned so the dye travels upward through the fallopian tubes
The path of the dye is monitored on a screen to identify any blockages
Experiences with the HSG vary widely. For Jess, it was physically painful and emotionally significant — it was the first time she fully faced the reality of her infertility diagnosis. She went alone and wasn't prepared for the physical sensations or the emotional weight of the day.
"I didn't set myself up with the support I needed for that day. Everybody's experience is different — but I would encourage you to bring support with you if you can, because you never know what will come up."

A Note on Emotional Preparation
Advanced fertility tests are medical procedures, but they're also emotionally loaded moments on your journey. Going in informed — knowing what to expect physically, having someone with you, and giving yourself permission to feel what comes up — makes a meaningful difference. At Her Fertility, support options include a full resource library, one-on-one sessions, and a monthly online support circle.

April 0651. Infertility & Unexplained Infertility: What It Really Means, Why You're Not Getting Answers, and What to Do Next
Infertility & Unexplained Infertility: What It Really Means, Why You're Not Getting Answers, and What to Do Next
Her Fertility Podcast | Fertility Journey Series — Episode 1
Episode Overview
This is the first episode of the Fertility Journey Series — a step-by-step guide through everything that can happen on the path to pregnancy, from diagnosis through treatment and beyond. In this opening episode, Jess Tims walks through what an infertility diagnosis actually means, why unexplained infertility is one of the most frustrating places to find yourself, and what to do when Western medicine doesn't have an answer. She shares the HER Fertility Framework, three real client stories that show how unexplained infertility can show up differently in every body, and a grounded list of complementary modalities worth exploring — from acupuncture and Reiki to nervous system support and naturopathic medicine.
"Unexplained infertility just means it's unexplained in Western medicine. If you are not getting pregnant, there is something going on. And that something is worth finding." — Jess Tims

What You'll Learn in This Episode
What the medical definition of infertility is — and why Jess chooses not to use that word
What unexplained infertility means: normal labs, open tubes, normal semen analysis, still no pregnancy
Why the mind craves an explanation — and what happens when there isn't one
The biggest mistake people make with unexplained infertility (and why it costs them time)
Why you don't have to choose between Western medicine and holistic healing
The HER Fertility Framework: Hormones, Energy, and Research — how Jess approaches fertility holistically
Three real client stories showing three completely different root causes of unexplained infertility
How the subconscious mind responds to repeated negative pregnancy tests — and what to do when it turns on you
Complementary modalities worth exploring: Reiki, acupuncture, chiropractic, naturopathic medicine
Support options: Fertility Frequency Collective, one-on-one sessions, free monthly support circle

The HER Fertility Framework
When faced with unexplained infertility, it helps to have a structure. Jess created the HER Fertility Framework as a way to look at fertility from a whole-self perspective — not just the clinical picture.
Letter
Pillar
What it means
H
Hormones
Western medicine and clinical testing — get as much data on your body as possible. Advocate for the tests you need.
E
Energy
Your inner guidance and your body's energy systems. Learn what a yes and a no feel like for you. Your body is already communicating — this is about learning its language.
R
Research
Ground your choices in what the evidence supports, while acknowledging that women's health is under-researched. Use research as one input, not the only one.

"Our hormones play like a symphony. When one instrument is off, the whole song sounds off. You can't separate fertility from the rest of your systems."

Three Client Stories: How Unexplained Infertility Actually Shows Up
Unexplained infertility rarely has a single, obvious cause. These three anonymized client stories illustrate how different the root can be — and why a whole-self approach matters.
Client Story 1: The hidden cyst that regular testing missed
A business owner in her late thirties with regular cycles came to Jess specifically to manage the stress of her fertility journey. When Jess encouraged her to track her basal body temperature and cervical fluid, they noticed she was ovulating very late and experiencing unusually heavy periods. Armed with specific questions, she returned to her doctor and pushed for additional testing. The results revealed a large cyst at her cervix — something that wouldn't have shown up in her standard protocol. After removal, she conceived quickly. Today she is a mother to a baby girl.

Client Story 2: Normal semen analysis, but DNA fragmentation told a different story
A couple who had been trying for over a year had normal results across every standard test. Jess had a sense that sperm quality might be the missing piece, and recommended a DNA fragmentation analysis — an additional sperm test not included in a standard semen analysis. While sperm count, motility, and morphology were all within range, the DNA fragmentation test revealed abnormalities in the sperm's genetic makeup. Once he made changes to support sperm quality, they were able to conceive.

Client Story 3: A nervous system that never got to rest
A high-achieving woman who had been trying for just under a year came to Jess with a feeling that something was off — even though all her numbers were perfect. She exercised every morning, ate a clean diet, and worked a demanding job. When they mapped her daily life, there was no space in it for her nervous system to shift out of sympathetic activation (fight and flight) into parasympathetic rest (rest and digest). Even her sleep was disrupted. Once she created a consistent daily container for nervous system downregulation, her body felt safe enough to conceive. She is now pregnant.

Complementary Modalities Worth Exploring
Reiki — energy healing that can support the energetic body and fertility. Jess offers virtual fertility Reiki sessions.
Acupuncture — research supports its role in increasing IVF success rates. Works with the same energy channels as Reiki through a different method.
Chiropractic care — supports the nervous system and spinal channels that govern body-wide communication.
Naturopathic medicine — views the body as a self-healing, connected system. Look for a practitioner who specializes in fertility.
A note of caution: not every complementary approach will be right for every body. Jess shares her own experience of trying fasting, which led to a cycle disappearing for over 100 days. Listening to your inner guidance — and learning what a yes and a no feel like in your body — is essential before trying anything new.
The Subconscious Mind and Unexplained Infertility
After enough negative pregnancy tests, the subconscious mind begins to interpret hope as a threat. Its job is to protect you from pain — so it starts feeding you thoughts like 'this will never work' or 'why do you think you can get pregnant?' This is not the truth. It is a survival mechanism.
When you can recognize that thought for what it is — your subconscious trying to keep you safe — you can respond with compassion rather than belief. That shift changes everything about how you move through the journey.
"You can hear the thought 'this will never work,' understand where it's coming from, give it compassion — and still want the baby. Both things can be true at once."

I’m kicking off a new Her Fertility podcast series to walk you through the fertility journey step by step, starting with the moment you decide you want to get pregnant. I cover the science + soul side of fertility (and infertility anxiety around the unknown) and share what both partners need to know: for women
getting off birth control
checking meds with your provider
learning cycle tracking (BBT, ovulation, cervical fluid)
for male fertility
remembering sperm was created about 70 days ago
sperm can be harmed by toxins, stress, and heat
I explain that you need egg, sperm, and cervical fluid as the conduit, why OPKs aren’t required, and why nervous system regulation (rest-and-digest) matters for fertility. I also talk prenatal supplements, Mediterranean-style nutrition, reducing processed foods/sugar/caffeine/alcohol, and safely addressing weight with your provider.
