Infertility is more complex than we’re told...

The Real Reason You're Not Getting Pregnant (That No One Talks About Enough)

If you’ve been trying to get pregnant and nothing’s working — not the perfect timing, not the tracking apps, not even the supplements everyone swears by — it can feel so frustrating. Month after month, negative test after negative test… you start wondering: What am I missing?

The truth? Infertility is more complex than we’re usually told. And it’s not always about age or luck. Most women I know who’ve been through this journey just want someone to tell them what’s really going on — no more guesswork.

Let’s talk about that.


So… What Is Infertility, Really?

Infertility isn’t just about not getting pregnant. It can also mean struggling to stay pregnant — whether that’s through recurrent miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, or other losses.

Doctors usually define it as trying for 12 months (or 6 if you’re over 35) without success. But that’s just the surface. Underneath, there are dozens of possible causes — and often, it’s not just one issue but several things quietly working against you at once.


Why Finding the Root Cause Matters So Much

One of the biggest mistakes women face is getting a generic diagnosis or being rushed into treatment without truly understanding what’s going on underneath. If your doctor’s only addressing one symptom (like irregular cycles or a blocked tube), you might miss the bigger picture.

Real healing happens when you treat the whole system — not just the symptoms.


Common Causes of Infertility in Women

Let’s break it down in a way that actually makes sense. These are the most common root causes many women face:

πŸ’” Hormonal Imbalance / Anovulation
If your body isn’t releasing mature, healthy eggs, conception is nearly impossible. Things like:

  • PCOS (which throws off your LH, FSH, and testosterone)

  • Thyroid or pituitary issues

  • Premature ovarian failure

  • Damage from past surgeries or infections

πŸ’” Fallopian Tube Issues
If your tubes are blocked or damaged, the egg and sperm can’t meet up. This can happen from:

  • Past infections (even ones you didn’t know you had)

  • Surgeries

  • Ectopic pregnancy

  • Inflammation from things like endometriosis or appendicitis

πŸ’” Immune System Imbalance
Some women produce antisperm antibodies — literally attacking sperm as if it were a threat. Others have natural killer cells that prevent embryos from implanting, or cause inflammation that makes a healthy pregnancy harder to maintain.

πŸ’” Lifestyle + Environmental Factors
Let’s be real: things like stress, poor diet, exposure to toxins, and even heavy caffeine, alcohol, or smoking all chip away at our body’s natural ability to conceive. And sadly, this stuff doesn’t always show up in test results.

And Yes — Infertility Can Be Reversed (Even If You’ve Been Told It Can’t)

If any of this sounds familiar, take a deep breath. I want you to know that many of these causes can be addressed — especially if you take a holistic approach that works with your body instead of against it.

And that’s exactly what Lisa Olson’s Pregnancy Miracle is about. It’s not a quick fix — it’s a powerful, proven system that helps you uncover why your body isn’t conceiving, and then shows you how to restore balance naturally.

Lisa’s method has helped thousands of women finally hear the words “You’re pregnant” — many of whom were told they never would.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
