Let’s determine your fertility type!

I don't know about you, but I just love it when I can pick some multiple-choice options and then someone (magically!?!) tells me some cool and insightful stuff about myself! It's like a crazy card trick — but without the cards. Or the weird magician. And with way less anxiety about being put on the spot. But I digress.

Ready to learn about your fertility type?

• First, grab a scrap of paper and write the numbers 1 - 10

• Jot down the letter of your answer next to each question number

• Scoring will follow

And don't worry! I promise you can see all the types at the end. I hate when I only get to read the one I got, and then I have to retake the whole quiz and make up random fake answers just to see what the other options were — so annoying.

Question 1

What would you do if you’ve been trying to have a baby for 6 months without any luck?

a. You make a doctor’s appointment and do whatever your provider recommends.

b. You’re already tired and anxious and paralyzed over what to do next.

c. Your nightstand is already full of fertility books, you’ve got data from your period tracking app and you just made an appointment to ask your doctor for the tests you think you need.

d. You’ve consulted with some holistic providers and are trying to limit your negative self-talk and stay positive.

e. You think it’s time to learn more about evidence-based ways to up your odds and also get support because you’re starting to freak out a little.

Question 2

After one year of trying, your doctor recommends taking an oral fertility medication to help you release more than one egg per cycle plus starting IUI (intrauterine insemination). What would you do?

a. Just do it — they’re the expert after all.

b. Ruminate over the possibility of having triplets and worst-case-scenarios like OHSS you’ve heard about.

c. Ask your doctor if injectable medications would give you better results faster and why they aren’t suggesting IVF. Maybe you need a 2nd opinion?

d. Talk to your acupuncturist and opt for cutting out sugar and caffeine and add some extra herbs instead - you want to keep things as natural as possible!

e. Ask your doctor more questions to see if they are giving you personalized or generic care, ask whether they have experience doing these sorts of IUIs, and find out what their plan is to monitor you.

Question 3

You go to a fertility support group, and as you say goodbye what’s going through your mind?

a. How do these people know so much about fertility stuff?

b. Well, that was overwhelming — how do they all have that much energy!?

c. I know WAY more than half the people in that group!

d. Wow, that felt like a downer — I need to do an energy clearing ritual, stat!

e. That was both helpful and hard — which seems about right.

Question 4

A good friend asks what they can do to support you as you face infertility. What do you say to them?

a. "I don’t know… am I supposed to be having a hard time?"

b. [Through tears] "I don’t know. I’m just so worn out."

c. "Awwww, you're so sweet! I’ve got it under control, but you're awesome for asking!"

d. "I’d love to do some sort of ritual or vision board exercise this weekend!"

e. "Let’s go do something fun and have a glass of wine, I need some normalcy!"

Question 5

How do you cope with stress in general?

a. Just keep swimming — it could always be worse right?

b. Comfort foods (sweet or salty), favorite movies, naps, etc.

c. Exercise (the harder the better) and a glass of wine (but I cut alcohol so I can’t do that now).

d. By seeing my reiki provider or doing a chakra balancing visualization.

e. I see stress as part of being human and do my best to lean in and cultivate skills and tools to work with it rather than fighting it or feeling like I’m failing.

Question 6

Which one of the following could be your mantra?

a. I’d never use a mantra!

b. I am enough. (And you’re working on believing it.)

c. Never take no for an answer.

d. Universe, I am ready and receptive!

e. This moment is all there is!

Question 7

What are some of your more general health obstacles?

a. I’m not super tuned-in with my body — I’m pretty good I think?

b. I’m tired, I tend to feel bogged down or bloated, I overthink and ruminate on things..

c. Tension, headaches, irritability, PMS (especially if I miss a workout).

d. I need to detox, I’m highly sensitive and have a big list of things I’m actively working on.

e. How to stay overall engaged, moderate, and healthy, and also accept I’ll never be perfect and don’t need to be.

Question 8

When it comes to your period and menstrual cycle:

a. I think it’s fine. My doctor would tell me if it wasn’t, right?

b. I have cycle issues — ovulation concerns, cycle length concerns, etc.

c. I’ve had all the blood tests and I use OPK tests and I’m frustrated this isn’t working.

d. I’ve done many BBT charts, I’m trying to make it better every month by taking supplements for each stage, I’m super aware of my body.

e. I understand the basics of hormones and biology and I know how to listen to what my body is telling me, but I also know there’s lots I can’t directly control and variations can be normal and still perfectly fertile.

Question 9

When it comes to supplements:

a. I haven’t really tried much — should I?

b. I’ve bought some, but I’m not super great at remember taking them consistently.

c. I’ve read all the research (at least the books that talk about the research). I’ve figured out the best cocktail for me and I've got my partner on one too.

d. I’ve got a ton! My naturopath alone has me on 8 things and my acupuncturist added 3 more, I've also eliminated a lot of problem foods.

e. I look at supplements as a little extra insurance and ways to fill nutritional gaps or address acute issues, but I don’t feel like taking handfuls of pills every day for long periods of time is a great idea.

Question 10

When I get pregnant:

a. I’ll be glad to move into the next phase of life and be a parent.

b. I can’t even “go there” — if I do I’m a bundle of nerves.

d. I’m gonna keep seeing a whole team of natural providers to help my body have a natural birth and successfully breastfeed for at least a year.
