1 On 1 with Stani Staykova-Lecocq

After 5 years of fertility struggles, 5 IUIs, a failed IVF, 2 miscarriages, a lot of tears and heartache, I got pregnant naturally at the age of 44 and gave birth to a healthy baby boy two months short of my 45th birthday. The journey has been the most enlightening and transformative experience I’ve had to date. I learned so much along the road that I felt compelled to share. As a result, I became a naturopath and fertility coach. I practice what I preach. I’d love to help you get closer to your dream, a healthy baby in a healthy pregnancy.

Apart from my advanced maternal age, we had no obvious reasons for infertility. We were diagnosed with the so called “unexplained infertility”. After four years of thorough testing, and a failed IVF (with a 3% success rate at my age), the conventional medicine specialists referred us to a donor egg if we wanted to succeed. My disappointment was endless. But thanks to it, I started digging, and reading, and tried to answer all questions remained unanswered by the the reproductive endocrinologists. I enrolled studying naturopathy, After 8 months of implementing religiously everything learnt, my husband and I conceived naturally our son Julian. After him, our lives would never be the same. The lives of four human beings were radically changed – after 18 years in the US, we moved to Bulgaria. I changed career from a lawyer to a naturopath. My heart is forever grateful for this journey that gave me the opportunity to help men, women, couples get a step closer to their dream baby.
