A number of my clients have been warned by their fertility specialists that they’re running out of time, running out of eggs, or their eggs are too old.  Some couples have even been told (and you may have heard this too) that they really should have started earlier instead of waiting so long before they tried to get pregnant. Ouch!

Everywhere we turn we are told that our eggs “age.” However, there is evidence to the contrary.

Have you heard of Randine Lewis, author of The Infertility Cure? She’s an OB and Acupuncturist who reports in her book that eggs don’t exactly age. Research at Harvard has shown that women may actually be regenerating eggs every month. The old adage of “you only have so many eggs” is being proven wrong.

And we can do a lot to influence the health of our eggs as they develop their follicles.

The science behind your eggs

The human ovary begins maturing several follicles at one time. Only one egg (usually) is “chosen” to be released because it is the healthiest egg follicle of the bunch. Our body knows to release the egg that has the best chance of dividing, implanting, and developing into a baby.

Bunches of egg follicles begin to migrate towards the area where they will be released almost an entire year before they actually will be released.

This means that what we put into our bodies—and how we bring health to those ovaries and follicles—can affect our egg quality an entire year before ovulation.

How to create the healthiest egg possible

After ovulation, the egg lives only about 24 hours, but it takes a long time for that egg to mature first. An egg’s cycle of maturation before ovulation is around 90 days. That’s plenty of time for you to choose good nutrition, oxygenation, proper blood circulation, hormonal balance, stress reduction and a positive outlook for your ovaries.

But even more than that, 90 days is plenty of time for you to adjust your egg age mindset.

Don’t believe everything ‘they’ say

How you feel and what you believe really does affect your fertility.

Your body is so intelligent it can create new life! Don’t allow limiting ideas like “your eggs are too old” to make you lose faith in this intelligence. You need to believe you have “good eggs” within your beautiful little ovaries.

Stress (like the kind that comes from limiting thoughts about the age of your eggs) can prevent ovulation or encourage the release of a premature egg.

This means that consciously working to replace worry with positive-feeling thoughts can have a concrete physiological effect.
