Hi my name is Lyn Vaccaro and I wanted to start this blog to help women and couples experiencing infertility empower themselves to achieve their much wanted pregnancies naturally without the high cost of medical intervention, because it can be done. It may not work during the exact month we would like…but after living well and implementing diet and lifestyle changes for some time….your baby will come.
I have a large family of 8 children so far and am looking forward to another whenever God blesses me. I had 6 beautiful baby girls and then upon turning 40, embarked on one of the darkest times of my life due to multiple miscarrying. Age related infertility had hit and it hit hard. To the tune of 5 consecutive miscarriages.
I was able to re-establish my fertility through much comtemplation and prayer. It also helped to have a background in health and nutrition from owning and operating my own health food store before starting my family. I went on to have 2 more beautiful baby boys, one arrived when I was 43, the other when I was just turning 45. I continue to tweak my body with natural and alternative methods and am ready to be blessed with another anytime God sees fit!
I would like to share these great natural alternative ways of helping women and couples gently coax their bodies naturally to achieve the healthy pregnancies they so desire…it can be done. So much of being able to successfully conceive is about PRECONCEPTION, and the care we take BEFORE we get to sperm meeting egg, with nutrition and lifestyle. Hence, my reason for naming this site Preconceived Notions….it is during this time period that successful conceptions, that go on to be successful pregnancies are created. Much too often our society begins thinking about health and nutrition after becoming pregnant….we need to change that. If we can change that mindset, I’m convinced many birth defects could be eliminated….maybe not completely, but a good dent could be put into them.
Depending on the infertility issue, fertility can be improved and overcome just by healthy living and good nutrition as well as some supplementation where it is needed. It’s just a matter of God’s guidance and having the willingness to go the distance to reach our baby goal. Before too long that positive test result will be more and more possible as we live well. It’s not as hard as you may think!!
Feel free to post! I’d love to hear what you’re individual situation involves as well as what you may or may not have done to improve your fertility.

Does accupressure really work? Are you also from Toronto?

Acupressure is a great inexpensive way to help enhance fertility. You still stimulate the points and save money as well….what a deal!

I find myself 6 weeks pregnant at 39 (I will be 40 in two weeks) I am experiencing all the symptoms of low estrogen – vaginal dryness, uterine prolapse etc… but my OB refuses to check my estrogen level. I feel like I am just waiting to miscarry. Is there anything I can do?
