Episode 5 of our Teaching To Conceive Series


šŸ’›Ā As part of this Series we are running a free fertility masterclass also called, Teaching To Conceive. Which offers 6 live webinars to dive into the information we discuss on the podcast in more detail. Each session also offers a live Q & A so you have time to speak to our team of experts.Ā We start the 8th Oct and you can register ⁠⁠⁠⁠here.⁠⁠


Katy and I are talking all about your luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, and why it's so important for health and fertility. (I know we say that all the time!)

But the luteal phase is when implantation occurs and we need good levels of progesterone to support this.

Problems in the luteal phase are common. We discuss what they are and why they might be happening.


Takeaways


  • The luteal phase is the second part of the menstrual cycle, crucial for fertility.
  • Progesterone is the dominant hormone in the luteal phase, essential for early pregnancy.
  • A luteal phase shorter than 12 days can hinder implantation and fertility.
  • Spotting before a period may indicate luteal phase issues.
  • PMS symptoms can signal hormonal imbalances, particularly with progesterone.
  • Basal body temperature (BBT) charts can help identify luteal phase problems.
  • Thyroid health is vital for maintaining a healthy menstrual cycle.
  • High stress levels can negatively impact progesterone production.
  • Cycle monitoring offers a comprehensive view of menstrual health.
  • Progesterone supplementation can be beneficial for women with luteal phase defects.
