After a two year fertility journey and experiencing an early pregnancy loss, Bethany surprisingly conceived her first baby without medical intervention in the middle of an IVF cycle. She gave birth to her first baby in a tent they built in their home. She conceived her second child 11 months later and went into labor while evacuated in a hotel during a hurricane. She went on to have a peaceful home birth outdoors. She plans on having more babies and future home births!

Inito
This episode is sponsored by Inito. Inito is the only at-home fertility monitor that tracks four key hormones (Estrogen, LH , PdG, and FSH) on a single test strip and provides lab-grade insights in just 10 minutes. Unlike other ovulation kits that only give you 1-2 fertile days, Inito tracks your full 6-day fertile window and doesn’t just predict ovulation, it confirms it, which is essential information when trying to conceive or understand your hormone health. Instead of piecing together fragments of information, it offers a full, clear picture of hormone health. With 96% accuracy, Inito offers the reliability of a blood test, minus the inconvenience and the expense.
I’ve had the chance to personally use Inito and was amazed at the user experience of the app—you enter in your last period date and from there the app guides you through exactly what to do and even sends a notification when it’s time to test.
The kit comes with everything you need to collect a urine sample and the Inito connects to your phone’s camera to read the test—there’s no squinting and guesswork—just easy to read results and clear directions when you are in that fertile window and when you ovulate.
The Inito Starter Pack is available for just $89 with the code THEBIRTHHOUR at inito.com.
