After Three Years of Unexplained Infertility and an Unsuccessful IUI, Alison Was Pregnant in Three Months

by | Jul 30, 2026 | Success Stories, Unexplained Infertility

At 36, Alison had been trying to conceive for three years. Her day 3 and day 21 blood tests were fine, her partner’s semen analysis was fine and an IUI had been unsuccessful. They still had no explanation for why they were not getting pregnant.

Their usual routine did not look extreme. Alison skipped breakfast and gave little thought to including protein in their meals. Food was chosen because it was quick and easy rather than for its nutritional value. She ate no fruit, and baked beans were often as close as she came to vegetables.

There was plenty of Coke Zero, and Alison and her partner would each drink a couple of bottles of wine over the weekend.

Feeling frustrated and defeated, on the recommendation of a friend, they started the Now Baby 90-Day Nutrition Protocol for Unexplained Infertility together.

They swapped their usual tea for a naturally caffeine-free tea and replaced the Coke Zero with water. Homemade soups brought vegetables into Alison’s day without her having to think about them and replaced the shop-bought sandwiches she had relied on for lunch.

As the caffeine reduced, Alison began sleeping better.

By the end of the first month, her previously heavy periods were noticeably lighter. By the end of the second, her usual period pain had reduced so much that she did not need pain relief. Her third period brought further changes.

Alison conceived at her next ovulation.

When they wanted another baby, they returned to the same changes and succeeded again.

Alison didn’t think there was anything particularly wrong with their lifestyle.. But as she saw consistent changes to her menstrual cycle, month after month, she knew they were on the right track before the pregnancy test confirmed it.

The Now Baby 90-Day Nutrition Protocol for Unexplained Infertility is the same complete protocol Alison and her partner returned to when they wanted their second baby.
