Ovulation is more than a step in the fertility process. It’s a key driver of hormonal balance and an important sign of overall health. Knowing when and if you’re ovulating can uncover hidden imbalances, offer insight into conditions such as PCOS or perimenopause, and guide more informed health decisions at every stage of life.

In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor shares how to recognize the signs of ovulation, clear up common myths, and use simple tools to track it with confidence. She explains the body’s natural signals, ways to confirm ovulation at home, and what to watch for if you suspect it’s not happening. This knowledge can help you support your hormones, improve your cycles, and feel more connected to your body.

We’ll explore:
✔️ Why ovulation matters for hormonal balance beyond fertility
✔️ Common myths about ovulation timing and cycle day “rules”
✔️ How to track ovulation using basal body temperature, cervical mucus, and hormone testing
✔️ Signs you may not be ovulating and what they reveal about your health
✔️ Tools and apps that make cycle tracking simpler and more accurate

If you’ve ever felt unsure about what your body is telling you mid-cycle, this episode gives you the tools to decode those changes with clarity. You’ll leave with practical ways to confirm ovulation, spot patterns in your cycle, and use that insight to better support your hormonal health.
