How To Deepen Faith From A Muslim Perspective During Fertility Journey

How To Deepen Faith From A Muslim Perspective During Fertility Journey

Fatima Shaikh joins us as we're digging into how to deepen your faith from a Muslim perspective during the fertility journey.

Welcome to day #3 of our series on faith and fertility.

When we are faced with a fertility diagnosis such as low AMH, high FSH, premature ovarian insufficiency, or diminished ovarian we may feel shocked, hopeless, lost, and overwhelmed.

We may even question our body's ability to procreate.

Over the next few days, I'll be discussing how our faith can help us during our fertility journey.

Because we can change our diet, improve our sleep, do all the latest tests to optimize our fertility, but it is equally important to work on our mindset and the belief that we are parents the moment we begin trying to conceive.

Our Fab Fertile Method includes a mind, body spirit approach to fertility. All steps are necessary – not all at once – but layered in a personalized approach.

Today I'm excited to welcome Fatima Shaikh. Fatima is part of my team at Fab Fertile. Fatima is an Integrative Fertility Coach who helps women redefine their fertility story and optimize hormonal balance so they can prepare their body, mind, and spirit for conception,

In this episode you'll learn:

1) How to deepen our connection to God during the fertility journey from an Islamic perspective

2) How faith can help during the phases of grief

3) How to cope with the pressure to have children (sometimes a marriage can only be validated if it produces children)

4) The rules around the Muslim faith and how this can impact us

5) How to make mosques welcoming to a couple who is trying to conceive as there are many triggers (i.e. families, children, and pregnant bellies)

Excited that our LIVE Fertility Diet Challenge is launching on Nov 8th. You'll receive newly designed chef-prepared recipes (perfect for autumn and curated to optimize fertility). There will be daily motivation, guidance, and support from the Fab Fertile Team. Join the Fertility Diet Challenge here>>>>http://fertilitydietfreebie.com/

However, to reassure you – on this call we won't be digging into the trauma associated with infertility/miscarriage/loss – rather we are focused on solutions and an ACTION PLAN as to how our Fab Fertile Method can help you get pregnant naturally.
