    Why Rest Is a God-Designed Fertility Booster

    Sleep is one of the most overlooked—and most powerful—fertility tools available to you. In this episode, Michelle Tillman breaks down why rest is not optional when you’re trying to conceive. From biblical insight to hormone science, you’ll learn how sleep directly impacts ovulation, hormone balance, egg quality, and your body’s ability to receive. We live in a culture that glorifies exhaustion, but the womb was never designed to function in chaos. Using the story of Hannah, modern fertility science, and practical steps you can start tonight, Michelle explains why rest is holy, sleep is spiritual, and consistency is key. If you’ve been doing “all the things” but still feel stuck, this episode may be the gentle (and loving) wake-up call your body has been asking for. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why rest and fertility are spiritually, emotionally, and biologically connectedHow sleep regulates estrogen, progesterone, LH, and FSHThe role of melatonin in protecting egg qualityHow cortisol blocks conception—and how sleep lowers itSigns poor sleep may be sabotaging your fertilityWhy God commands rest (and why it matters for your miracle)Michelle’s 8-step Fertility Sleep Checklist to boost hormone healthScriptures Referenced: 1 Samuel 1 (Hannah’s prayer and rest)Mark 6:31 — “Come away and rest”Genesis 2:2–3 — God resting on the seventh dayResources Mentioned: FREE Pregnancy Protocol Training (Mini Masterclass) bit.ly/fertilityfreakpodTakeaway: You are not broken.

    When Your Period Is Late: Faith, Hope & Sanity While You Wait

    “Should I take a pregnancy test? Should I wait?” If you’ve ever found yourself staring at the calendar, analyzing every symptom, and praying this is the month, this episode is for you. Host Michelle Tillman, fertility coach and founder of the Fertility Freak Podcast, shares both personal and professional wisdom on how to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of a late period while trying to conceive. Michelle discusses what to do (and what not to do) in those agonizing days of waiting, how to interpret your basal body temperature (BBT), and the importance of protecting your mental and emotional health. With her signature mix of faith and practical advice, she walks listeners through how to stay grounded, hopeful, and connected—even when disappointment hits. What You’ll LearnHow to know when to take a pregnancy test (and when to wait)Why tracking your basal body temperature (BBT) can offer real insight into your cyclePractical ways to manage stress, disappointment, and faith-based emotions during the two-week waitHow to protect your sanity and keep hope alive through community, coaching, and prayerMichelle’s personal approach to balancing faith and science on the TTC journey Michelle reminds listeners that faith and fertility are not opposites—they work together. While data like your BBT provides valuable information, faith sustains you when results don’t look the way you hoped. It’s okay to hope, to pray, and to feel deeply when your period is late—just make sure you have spiritual and emotional boundaries in place. Key TakeawaysWait at least five days after your missed period before testing.Track your BBT daily to spot trends—rising temps may signal pregnancy, dropping temps may indicate menstruation.Pay attention to external factors (sleep, stress, illness, environment) that may influence your temperature or cycle.Stay connected—reach out to a friend, therapist, or fertility community for support.Give yourself permission to feel—disappointment, anger, and hope all have a place in this process.Resources MentionedTempDrop Basal Body Thermometer – https://www.tempdrop.comUse code FERTILITYFREAK for 15% offFertility Cheat Code eBook – fertilitycheatcode.comPregnancy Protocol 4S Formula – Learn how to work with Michelle to get pregnant faster bit.ly/fertilityfreakpod
