In this episode you're going to learn exactly what happens during your menstrual cycle. I decided to talk about this because, quite frankly, it’s something that many of us don’t fully understand. We talk about our cycles in relation to pregnancy but there’s a lot more to periods than ovulation!

Your cycle can influence so many aspects of your life: libido, mood, energy, skin, appetite, and more! Better understanding your periods can help you make informed decisions regarding reproductive health, fertility, and overall well-being.

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

• What constitutes a regular menstrual cycle
• What the phases of the cycle are
• Which hormones are associated with pregnancy
• When ovulation occurs
• How to track ovulation
• How fertilization and implantation work
• How IUDs prevent pregnancy
• Whether you can really have a period while you’re pregnant
