You're Doing All the Things. So Why Aren't You Pregnant Yet?
You know your fertile window better than your own social calendar. You've bought the supplements, changed what you're eating, and spent more nights than you'd like to admit googling semen analysis numbers. And don't even get me started on the Facebook advice about what worked for Mary's sister's cousin.
I know why you're doing it. You want that baby. Like, yesterday. And when you're ready to become a parent, it's hard to sit around feeling like there must be something else you could do.
But here's what I wish more couples knew: you can't out-supplement a poor foundation. You can be doing a LOT and still have important questions about your health that nobody's stopped to ask.
That's where I come in. I help couples sort through the fertility noise, understand what's going on with BOTH partners, and figure out what deserves attention next. Male fertility and trying after vasectomy reversal are my specialties, but you absolutely don't need a reversal story to work with me. And if you're considering IUI or IVF, we can talk about how to support your health alongside treatment, too.
I wish getting pregnant came with Amazon Prime delivery. Truly.
But while we can't order up those two pink lines by Friday, we can make better use of the time between now and whenever your story unfolds.
Because I know you're not just waiting for a positive test. You're dreaming about telling your family, feeling those first kicks, meeting your baby, and having the energy to keep up with that little person once they're here. Let's give your health, and your relationship, some attention along the way.
They Said Everything Looks 'Normal.' So Why Are You Still Wondering?
His semen analysis is 'fine.' Your labs are 'normal.' Your cycle looks regular. So you go home, try another month, and wonder if you're missing something, or if you're just supposed to keep waiting.
Here's what I'd love you to know: a number falling within a lab's reference range doesn't automatically answer every question about fertility. Those ranges can be useful, but they aren't a personalized scorecard of how ready your body is for pregnancy. And one semen analysis number definitely doesn't tell the whole story.
I want to know what was tested, why it was tested, whether both partners have been considered, and what questions are still sitting on the table. Sometimes there's a next conversation to have with a reproductive specialist. Sometimes there are everyday health habits worth revisiting. Sometimes it's both.
You're hoping to give your future child a wonderful start. Of course you want to know more than whether someone circled 'normal' on a report.
That doesn't mean we chase perfect numbers or assume something is wrong. It means we get curious about your actual situation instead of treating one checkbox as the end of the conversation.
You Can't Out-Supplement a Poor Foundation.
I can't tell you how many times someone has come to me with an impressive supplement collection, three fertility apps, and a spreadsheet of temperatures. She has done her homework. She's trying SO hard.
And I get it. When every negative test feels like another month slipping by, of course you want something you can control.
But another bottle isn't always the answer. What about the basics? Are you both getting what you need nutritionally? What do the test results really tell you? How's sleep? What do you know about his sperm health beyond the count? Has someone helped you decide which questions deserve a doctor's appointment, and which advice you can stop obsessing over?
You do not need to read every fertility book and scroll every forum to figure this out. I can help you sort the useful information from the noise and focus on what makes sense for YOU.
And Can We Talk About What TTC Does to a Marriage?
One minute you're planning date nights. The next you're telling your husband he's needed at 7:42 p.m. because your ovulation test turned positive. It's funny until it isn't. Trying for a baby can put a lot of pressure on two people who love each other.
We'll make room for that conversation, too. The waiting, the disappointment, the awkward intimacy, the different ways you each cope.
You matter as a couple, not just as two sets of lab results.
Somehow, I Became the 'Sperm Expert.'
Not exactly the career title I imagined for myself, but here we are!
I'm Susan. After my husband's vasectomy reversal, I learned firsthand how strange it is to want a baby so badly and still have so many questions about what comes next. We eventually welcomed babies when I was 40 and 44, and that experience changed what I wanted to do with my work.
I became especially fascinated by male fertility. Sperm numbers, motility, morphology, what changes after a reversal, and what questions couples should be asking. It's why people started calling me the 'Sperm Expert.' I'll take it! But I also work with couples who have never had a vasectomy anywhere in their story.
And I don't just care about helping you get to a pregnancy. I care about the people you'll be along the way: how you feel, how you and your spouse are doing, and how you're preparing for pregnancy, postpartum, and life with a baby.
I'm a Holistic Health Practitioner, not your fertility doctor. I won't promise that a supplement or a protocol is the missing magic answer. What I WILL do is help you understand your information, ask better questions, and stop feeling like you need a second job just to research how to get pregnant.
Okay, So Where Do You Start?
Maybe you're pretty new to this and just want to make sure you're not overlooking something basic. Maybe you've got years of lab reports and you're ready for someone to help put them in order. Or maybe you want a little personal direction without another appointment on the calendar.
Good news: you don't need to book a free clarity call or sign up for months of coaching just to get started. Pick the level of help that fits where you are right now.
For the couple asking, 'Are we even focusing on the right things?'
Think of this as the fertility education I wish more couples got from the beginning, without spending the next six months reading books and Facebook threads. We'll talk about sperm (yes, a LOT about sperm), cycles, common testing, everyday health foundations, what to ask your medical team, and how to stay close through all of this. There's a dedicated path for couples trying after vasectomy reversal, too.
You'll get short lessons, practical checklists and trackers, selected expert resources, and a way to submit one general question during your first 30 days. And because I know questions come up as you work through everything, you'll also have the opportunity to submit a question and access the educational Q&A library, where I answer the kinds of fertility questions couples ask me all the time.
This option doesn't include a private review of your personal results.
You've learned the basics. Now you're thinking, 'Okay, but what about US?'
Tell me a little about your fertility journey and share the results you already have. I'll take a closer look at where things stand and put together a personalized written roadmap that walks you through what stands out, what questions may still need answers, and the three areas I'd focus on next.
You'll have something you can actually refer back to, along with the opportunity to send me one follow-up question within seven days.
For the couple who's tired of wondering what everyone might be missing.
Maybe you've been trying for a while, navigating fertility after vasectomy reversal, or considering IUI or IVF. You've got test results, questions, and advice coming from every direction, but nobody seems to be looking at the whole picture. That's where I come in.
I'll take a detailed look at BOTH partners' health histories, fertility journey, lifestyle, and existing test results. You'll receive a personalized written Fertility Roadmap covering what stands out, what may deserve further investigation, and which health foundations I'd prioritize.
We'll also have a private 45-minute call to walk through everything together. If you have a question afterward, you can send me one follow-up question within 14 days. And you'll get full access to my Rooted Fertility Roadmap course, too.
Because you don't need another giant supplement list. You need to understand what's going on, what questions to ask, and where to focus next.

Because Fertility Doesn't Follow Your Calendar.
You could be waiting for another semen analysis, a new cycle, or an appointment that's somehow still eight weeks away. And then the results arrive and suddenly you have twelve more questions. Sound familiar?
If you've completed an Audit and want support as new information comes in, Fertility Follow-Through gives you two planned review windows and one flexible question submission over four months. You gather your updates, I review them during a scheduled work block, and you get a thoughtful written response, without having to squeeze in a Zoom call every month.
It's $597 after the Audit. We'll spell out the submission limits, timing, and expiration so you know exactly what's included. This isn't unlimited email access, and that's intentional: I want your questions to get a proper review instead of living in an endless email thread.
And if we worked together months ago and you have one new result? You may be able to purchase a one-time Results Review. You don't have to start the whole Audit again.
Doing IUI or IVF? Your Health Still Deserves Attention.
Maybe your doctor has recommended IUI or IVF. Maybe you're still deciding. Or maybe you've already got a treatment calendar on the fridge.
I'm not here to talk you out of treatment. I'm here to remind you that there are TWO people walking through it, with bodies and lives that deserve care beyond the next appointment.
Let's talk about nutrition, sleep, daily routines, and the questions you want to bring to your care team. Let's also talk about the pressure this can put on your marriage and how you'd like to feel going into pregnancy and postpartum. There's room for all of that alongside good medical care.
Fertility treatment decisions belong with your clinicians, and lifestyle work can't guarantee a pregnancy or treatment result. You don't need to put medical care on hold to work on your foundations. Those things can happen together.
Waiting for an Appointment When You Wanted a Baby Yesterday?
I know that feeling of watching another month go by while you're waiting for a test, a referral, or a specialist appointment. It can feel like everyone else has an answer except you.
And the hardest part isn't always the waiting. It's feeling like time is disappearing and you don't know what to do with it.
You can start learning, organizing what you already know, and preparing better questions now. My Roadmap is online, and personalized coaching may also be available depending on where you live and the services I can provide there. You don't need to wait for a clinic referral just to start with fertility education.
You can't make the next appointment come sooner. But you can stop spending every spare hour trying to piece together advice from strangers on the internet.
A Few Words From Couples Who Get It.
There is something different about hearing from someone who's been through the waiting, the questions, and the endless 'maybe this month.' Here are a few experiences clients have chosen to share.
Working With Susan Was The Best!
My husband and I have had the pleasure of working directly with Susan after his vasectomy reversal. My husband's surgeon was absolutely amazing but I felt like there was a component we were missing in the pre-conception phase. I was doing all the things we thought we were supposed to do like tracking and timing things perfectly, which meant I spent a lot of time stressing and testing. Susan created an individual plan for my husband and I that focused on lifestyle and nutritional changes but also highlighted some habits and stressors that were potentially getting in the way of our success.
After 2 cycles of working with Susan, we are now pregnant with our first vasectomy reversal baby. We feel so blessed and grateful for Susan, she is a breath of fresh air and really brought enjoyment and peace back into this season for us.
Susan's Fertility Audit Has Been A Game-Changer For Us! Her Expert Guidance On Lab Tests, Insightful Reviews Of Our Results, And Personalized Recommendations For Supplements And Nutrition Have Made All The Difference.

A Few Questions I'd Probably Ask, Too.
You Wanted That Baby Yesterday. I Get It.
You don't need another late-night internet rabbit hole, another stranger's miracle supplement, or one more person telling you to 'just relax.' You've got enough on your mind.
Whether you want to learn the basics or you're ready for someone to take a closer look at your situation, there's a place to start. My hope is that you spend less time wondering what you're missing and more time caring for yourself, your marriage, and the family you're working toward.
