Charting to Conceive
6 weeks to go from collecting confusing signals to reading your own body so you can make conception plans with confidence before your next doctor's appointment
You spent your 20s avoiding pregnancy at all cost, and now that you're trying to conceive, you're more confused than ever.
Every month that goes by, you're wasting time and budget on fertility theater like:
LH strips that don’t guarantee that ovulation will happen
Wearables that “predict” your fertile window based on algorithms trained on 22-year-olds
Apps that bank on your cycle being the same every month (despite life being…well, life)
Despite fertility tech companies telling you that your cycle is too complicated to decode without their subscription fees, your body is already giving you fertility signals (for free) every single day.
IVF isn't wrong for everyone, but it shouldn't be offered as the default next step just because no one taught you how to read your own cycle first.
Confirm whether + when you’re ovulating without expensive tests or guessing games so you can make your next fertility decision from calm certainty instead of panic or pressure
Charting to Conceive is a 6-week course that teaches you to confirm ovulation with accuracy so you can walk into your next doctor's appointment with the data you need to make fertility decisions from calm certainty instead of panic or pressure.
Three months of quality cycle charting can tell you:
📊 If you’re ovulating – Did you actually release an egg this cycle?
📊 When you’re ovulating – Ovulating timing can vary month to month, and not always on Day 14!
📊 Luteal phase length – Do you have 12-16 days post-ovulation, or only 9-10 days (too short for implantation)?
📊 Cycle regularity – Are you ovulating consistently or having anovulatory cycles?
📊 Potential issues – Thyroid dysfunction, low progesterone, short follicular phase, etc.
This information costs under $500 and lasts you the rest of your life, not $24K (the average cost of one IVF cycle in NYC).
This course that gives you the data your doctor doesn't have - so you can decide what comes next for your conception journey from informed choice, not fear.
Hi, I’m Kate, Certified Fertility Awareness Educator who is also preparing to conceive in my 30s.

My story:
I’ve supported many cycling clients through their conception journeys after 35+, and I have seen many of them urged into conversations around IVF and ART as a first line of care before any other options are explored.
I’m tired of watching clients get railroaded into incredibly expensive treatment before they’ve gathered the most basic information about their cycles - not to mention I’m on my own conscious conception journey in my 30s!
I am a total cycle nerd, and I have made it my mission to teach others this life-changing skill.

Arielle Laws, MSHS is a functional nutritionist and integrative medicine practitioner specializing in women’s fertility nutrition.
Arielle’s most valued identities are those of a mom and nutritionist. Each of these distinctions compel her to meet her mamas-to-be precisely where they’re at, to listen to their stories, understand their background, and to recognize their baby dreams. Because unexplained infertility is not a person-centered diagnosis. There is always more to the story.
She bridges the gap between evidence-based research and intuitive clinical practice to create individualized protocols; our work is sometimes lighthearted, other times deep-seated, but always growth-oriented.
