Fertility Success Stories

Real Stories of Hope, Healing, and New Beginnings

From IVF Plans to Natural Conception

A couple came to me after three years of fertility treatments, including medicated cycles and two pregnancy losses. They were facing IVF as their next step, but with increasing negative reactions to synthetic hormones, they decided to explore natural alternatives.

Through comprehensive testing, we discovered multiple factors affecting their fertility including male and female fertility challenges, gut health issues, and hormone imbalances. Instead of masking symptoms, we created a personalized protocol focused on healing gut health, balancing hormones naturally, and addressing root causes.

During their healing journey, they conceived naturally for the first time in three years and continued their care through pregnancy. Their transformation demonstrates the power of identifying and treating root causes, even after years of unsuccessful treatments.

Unexplained Infertility Breakthrough

Following 10 years of unexplained infertility, including multiple fertility doctors, 2 IUIs, fertility medications, and extensive lifestyle changes, this patient came to me with nearly lost hope. Despite all conventional approaches and two chemical pregnancies, answers seemed out of reach.

Through individualized treatment and a focus on her unique needs, she conceived naturally within just two months of starting care. She is now expecting her miracle baby girl and planning to return for support with her second pregnancy journey.

Her remarkable story demonstrates that even after a decade of unsuccessful treatments, natural conception is possible when we take time to understand and address individual health factors.

Supporting IVF Success Naturally

A patient came seeking natural support after her first unsuccessful IVF round. By focusing on optimizing egg quality and implementing targeted supplementation before her second IVF attempt, she achieved remarkable success - even surprising her other doctor who said she "defied medical statistics."

Her journey showcases the powerful synergy between natural preparation and conventional fertility treatments, and how combining IVF with natural support can enhance outcomes and improve success rates beyond expectations!

Natural Success with PCOS

A patient came to me after experiencing two miscarriages and struggling with PCOS, despite working with multiple doctors and trying various treatments.

Through six months of natural treatment focusing on addressing the root causes of PCOS and optimizing fertility, she conceived naturally and carried her pregnancy to term. She now has a healthy baby girl and maintains her hormone balance using the natural protocols she learned.

This transformation demonstrates how understanding and treating root causes can overcome even complex hormone conditions like PCOS.

Overcoming Male Fertility Barriers

A couple came to me after two years of unsuccessful conception attempts and learning they faced significant male fertility challenges. We identified several contributors affecting sperm health and developed a targeted protocol focusing on reducing inflammation, optimizing nutrition, balancing hormones naturally, and specific lifestyle modifications.

After four months, follow-up testing showed remarkable improvements and were able to  conceive naturally only months later!

Their journey shows how addressing the root causes of male fertility challenges can create life-changing results, even in cases previously considered difficult without technological intervention.

Quick Success Despite Endometriosis

Even with a history of endometriosis, natural preconception care made a significant difference. Following just six weeks of targeted guidance and natural support, I helped this patient conceive naturally who went on to have a healthy pregnancy. She's now expecting her second baby!

Her quick success shows how natural preconception care can support fertility even when faced with reproductive health challenges.

  • "I cannot recommend Dr. Samantha Ess enough!"

    After a miscarriage, I began working with Dr. Ess to better prepare my body for pregnancy. I love her root cause and whole body approach to fertility, she is so knowledgable in the field and also so incredibly kind and empathetic which is amazing while going through such a sensitive journey! I am pregnant now and plan to work with Dr. Ess again to get my hormones balanced after pregnancy. Highly, highly recommend!

  • "She listened to all of my concerns and addressed my symptoms and labs on a root cause level."

    After a miscarriage, 2.5 years of infertility, and countless consults with doctors that were dead ends, I decided to reach out to Dr. Samantha. I’m so thankful that I did. She listened to all of my concerns and addressed my symptoms and labs on a root cause level. Within about 4 months of working with her, I got my first positive pregnancy test. I am now almost 6 months pregnant with my rainbow baby. I can’t thank or recommend her enough. I’m looking forward to my postpartum journey working alongside Dr. Samantha.

  • "I highly recommend working with Dr. Samantha for your fertility needs!"

    When my husband and I decided we wanted to grow our family, we wanted to be as healthy as possible and proactively started working with Dr. Samantha. She helped us identify what lab work we should do, interpreted the results line by line with us, and made a treatment plan that was based on diet, lifestyle, supplements, and naturopathic remedies. We had some less than ideal results, which were initially disheartening, but Dr. Samantha was so empathetic and helped us work through it.

My husband and I are so incredibly thankful!!

  • "She is our first doctor who truly listened, acknowledged us and created a treatment plan for us to treat the ROOT cause and not only our symptoms"

    After 3 years on this fertility journey, with medicated cycles, a missed miscarriage, followed by a chemical miscarriage… the next step our fertility clinic was recommending was doing IVF…That’s when we started working with Dr. Samantha Ess, she is our first doctor who truly listened, acknowledged us and created a treatment plan for us to treat the ROOT cause and not only our symptoms... turns out we had male and female infertility factors, gut issues and more… we started healing our hormones naturally, started a protocol, and in the middle of all that we got pregnant naturally for the first time.

  • "She was so helpful and knowledgeable when it came to our fertility journey."

    Cannot recommend Dr. Ess enough! She was so helpful and knowledgeable when it came to our fertility journey. I tried so many other doctors and treatments and nothing was able to help with my PCOS and ultimately get pregnant. After about 6 months of working with her, I was able to get pregnant naturally after 2 miscarriages and now have a healthy baby girl. Will be working with her again and implementing everything I’ve learned to manage my PCOS.

  • "Dr. Ess is the most empathetic, caring dr I’ve ever worked with."

    My husband and I struggled with infertility for years after our first daughter was born, and now we are pregnant with our second! She is so knowledgeable and does everything she can to help. She’s the only doctor I’ve ever had that has made me feel heard and cared enough to do a deep dive into the root of our issues. We can’t thank her enough!

    After 10 years of unexplained infertility, multiple fertility Dr.’s, 2 IUI’s, fertility medication, diet and lifestyle changes, 2 chemical pregnancies and I felt so lost and defeated…I found Dr. Samantha online and prayed for direction and felt deeply that this was the last thing we needed to do and we had to try. 2 months after beginning work with her, I was pregnant!!…I will never be able to thank Dr. Samantha enough for taking the time to hear my story and treat me individually to allow me to finally get pregnant.

  • "She immediately made me feel seen and comfortable and that having a baby would be something I could do."

    When I began seeing Dr. Sam I had been dealing with infertility for two years…She immediately made me feel seen and comfortable and that having a baby would be something I could do…Within three months of consistently taking the recommended supplements and some lifestyle changes my body was cycling normally and I got pregnant! Now in my postpartum journey I’m working with Dr.Sam again to keep my hormones on the right track! I highly recommend seeing Dr.Sam she’s the best Doctor I’ve had hands down!

  • " I would recommend her to anyone going through their fertility journey!"

    I found Dr. Ess after my first round of IVF. I was looking for holistic ways to supplement my second round of IVF to ensure its success. We worked on egg quality with supplements I was not on for my first round. I had a successful second round of IVF!! My fertility doctor actually said, "I defied medical statistics." Dr. Ess is easy to speak with and very caring. I would recommend her to anyone going through their fertility journey!
