    The Face Behind the Chart Series: Haley Yeager

    This week in our Face Behind the Chart series, we have the great privilege of sharing our conversation with the incredible Haley Yeager. From a young age, Haley had a feeling that something wasn’t quite right. Even after being told time and time again that what she was experiencing was “normal” and nothing to be concerned about, she trusted the quiet voice inside her that told her to keep searching. And she did. That persistence eventually led Haley to a diagnosis of PCOS (now PMOS) and more importantly, to a deeper understanding of her own body. Rather than simply learning to live with her symptoms, Haley became proactive. She discovered the power of lifestyle changes, fertility awareness charting, and care from physicians trained in Restorative Reproductive Medicine. She learned to recognize the language of her body and began to see her cycle not as something to manage or silence, but as a source of valuable information. And that knowledge would become incredibly meaningful as she built her family. Haley shares that she truly believes if she hadn’t known her body so intimately, she may not have the children she has today. What a powerful testimony to the difference it can make when a woman is given the tools to understand her body and the support to act on what she discovers. Today, Haley is a trained FertilityCare Practitioner and the founder of the Truth & Fertility Project and the host of the Truth & Fertility Podcast, where she is passionate about giving women the knowledge, empowerment, and tools they deserve to cultivate and advocate for their own health. We walked away from this conversation feeling so fired up about the power of charting and the incredible wisdom woven into the feminine body—and we hope you do too. Because Haley’s story is a beautiful reminder that your body is not working against you. It is communicating with you. And sometimes, learning how to listen can change everything. We are so grateful to Haley for sharing her story so vulnerably and for the countless women who will be encouraged to trust their instincts, ask better questions, and become more empowered advocates for their own health because of it.

    The Face Behind the Chart Series: Alison

    This week, we are joined by the incredible Alison Duncavage—a Marine Corps wife, former elementary school counselor, and now stay-at-home mom from Virginia. 🤍 Ali’s story is one of pain, perseverance, and hope. After years of undiagnosed infertility and debilitating pain, she found herself navigating a healthcare system that often felt like it was throwing darts in the dark—trying treatment after treatment without ever getting to the root of what was really happening in her body. Then, she discovered restorative reproductive medicine. For the first time, Ali was given answers. She finally received a proper diagnosis and was able to access state-of-the-art surgery to treat the underlying condition. And through that journey, she eventually conceived and welcomed her beautiful son into the world. 🥹 But Ali’s story isn’t just about the outcome. It’s about the woman who kept going when she didn’t have answers. The woman who kept asking questions when she knew something wasn’t right. The woman who learned to advocate for herself—and refused to settle for care that didn’t address the root of her suffering. We are so incredibly grateful to Ali for trusting us with such a vulnerable part of her story. Her willingness to share the hard parts is a gift to other women walking through endometriosis, infertility, chronic pain, and the often-lonely journey of advocating for their own health. If you’ve ever felt like you were being dismissed, like no one was listening, or like you just knew there had to be more to your story—we hope Ali’s journey reminds you that it is not all in your head, you are not alone, and it is okay to keep searching for answers. Your story matters. Your health matters. And you deserve to be heard. ❤️ Listen to the full episode on Spotify, Apple, and Fio.
