Five Cycles of Clomid, a Miscarriage — and Still No Explanation

by | Jul 29, 2026 | Nutrition, Success Stories, Unexplained Infertility

At 31, this mama had been trying for her first baby for more than 18 months.

She had completed five cycles of Clomid and experienced a miscarriage. Her infertility remained unexplained.

Both she and her husband had busy lives, both career wise and after work activities and commitments. Their diets had become more convenient than nutritious and were often eaten late at night. This is a common theme with couples struggling to get pregnant. It is never deliberate, but the body keeps score.

The 5 failed cycles of Clomid had knocked them back and the pregnancy loss even more. Diet had gotten even worse because they could see no way out of their unexplained infertility.

It was the due date of the baby she lost when she decided to take action. She knew making changes would be difficult but her husband was onboard and they pulled together to make it work. One meal at a time they were eating more protein, drinking less caffeine and timing their meals in a way that supported circadian rhythm. The first thing she noticed was better sleep, then the brown bleeding before her period stopped. 90 days passed as they felt more and more energised and less and less reactive. The third cycle was it, the two blue lines finally appeared.

Like anyone after pregnancy loss, they couldnt get too excited but by the time they saw a strong heartbeat at their 12 week scan they relaxed and accepted their unexplained infertility was behind them.

They had begun by changing one part of their fertility journey that still belonged to them: how they nourished themselves. They made that change together, followed the protocol consistently for 90 days and reached the outcome they had been working towards for more than 18 months.

The Now Baby 90-Day Nutrition Protocol for Unexplained Infertility gives you and your partner the same complete structure this couple followed, with normal supermarket foods combined into meals designed around defined fertility nutrient targets.
