Notg being able to conceive after trying for a whole year can be a tough spot to be in, specially at age 35. It does seem like there might be an issue with ovulation, based on your mention about cervicl mucus. In Ayurveda, we look at overall balance, focusing on the doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
A few things you might consider. First, look at your diet. Ayurveda emphasizes warm, cooked foods to pacify Vata, which often needs calming in fertility issues. You might have a regular meal of khichari - a light, nutritious blend of rice and lentils. It’s idea for balancing digestion and absorption, important for healthy cervical mucus production.
A little less coffee, a little more herbal teas like fennel or cumin might help support the digestive fire (agni). Warm water too, throughout the day, can support lubrication in the body, contributing to fertile mucus.
Have you tried looking at your daily routine (or dinacharya)? Regular sleep and wake times can prove supportive for hormonal balance. Maybe include a regular gentle yoga practice or pranayama (like anulom vilom) for relieving stress, it’s amazing how stress impacts fertility.
Specific herbs like Ashwagandha and Shatavari are known to support reproductive health, but it’s best to consult a local Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbs to get the right type and dose for you.
It’s important to check in with an Ob-Gyn also, to rule out any medical causes too. Sometimes a combined approach, modern medicine with Ayurveda, can work wonders. In the meantime, nurturing your body with warmth - both in food and lifestyle, might start shifting things bit by bit.
Lastly, don’t lose heart! Understanding the root cause is the first step to addressing it, so you’re already on your way. Keep at it, and make sure to seek support where necessary, your path to conception might show up when things align just right.
