A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER

I see you. 

I see you, because I was you. I know the struggle, I know the pain, and I know the crushing disappointment of getting a negative pregnancy test month after month. 

The course of trying to conceive for over 4 years and having tried IUI’s and IVF’s several times, not only left my husband and I emotionally drained; it had also left us financially drained. 

That was my situation 8 years ago. That was when I took matters into my own hands. I decided that with my nursing background and with enough research, I could certainly manage to find natural supplements available out there to help boost fertility.  It was the one avenue I had not taken and I had exhausted all medical measures the West and East could offer me at that point and I understood that what I no longer needed was more hormones injected into my body: I needed something that helped to support egg quality, hormone balance and over all ovarian function and response. A holistic approach!

After extensive research, I had the formula that I felt confident would work to help boost my fertility at 40 years of age. 

I began ordering the different supplements from different parts of the world and I was excited as one by one the priceless packages began to arrive at my door step. Excited as I was, it also meant that I had to swallow 12 pills in the morning (one in powdered form and several large ones that made me gag) , and another 11 at night for three whole months before trying to conceive, but I was determined and nothing was going to stand in my way. 

After a positive pregnancy that ended in a silent miscarriage at 11 weeks, resulting in perhaps the deepest depression I’ve experienced in my life, I pushed forward, ordering another 3 months of the supplements, still determined and acutely aware that I was nearing my 41st birthday. 

Three months later, just 1 month shy of my 41st birthday, to the absolute disbelief of my OB GYN, and indeed both my husband and myself, I was pregnant once again! This time, I carried my beautiful baby to term and had a happy and healthy baby girl.

For years after that, I have prescribed this formula to our friends who were trying to conceive through IVF, IUI’s or even naturally and shared in their joy as they achieved a pregnancy and conceived healthy babies.

I may have known the disappointment, but I have also known the immense joy of a positive pregnancy and carrying a healthy baby to term. This is my wish for you, for every woman out there who knows the struggle. You are the inspiration behind Opal Earth Health and the Better Chances Fertility Supplements brand, because I was there – I’ve created the supplement I wish I had - the combination of the same 18 different high quality vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that help boost ovarian response that helped me and other women achieve a successful pregnancy – in just two daily capsules.

May your happy journey begin. 

God Bless!
