Menstrual Mastery

On today’s episode of Menstrual Mastery, we’re talking all about cycle tracking on hormonal birth control and why it just doesn’t work.

Quite often I’ll hear from women who tell me that they’ve just downloaded my cycle tracking starter guide and are excited to track the changes in their cycle. I LOVE hearing this. I am a huge fan for women everywhere knowing how to track their menstrual cycles. However, many times women will follow this up by sharing with me that they are on hormonal birth control, and then I have to break the bad news -- you can’t cycle track when you’re on hormonal birth control.

In today’s episode we’re going to cover…

>> Why you can’t cycle track when you’re on hormonal birth control

>> What you can, and should, keep track of on hormonal birth control

>> The first 3 steps for transitioning off of hormonal birth control and learning how to track your cycle

Joining me today is former Sauvage Wellness client and jewelry designer Audrey Beaumier. Audrey came to me with hopes of easing endometriosis symptoms naturally. Chronic pain and debilitating menstrual symptoms were derailing her days. Audrey is here to share her experience using mindset magic and brain retraining tools to decrease endometriosis-related pain and menstrual symptoms so that she could get back to her favorite activities, launch her jewelry business, and reclaim her power!  ((Think - No period cramps, no painful ovulation, no headaches, no chronic pain!))

On today’s episode of Menstrual Mastery, we’re talking all about what to expect when you start cycle tracking after going off of hormonal birth control. This is a topic I love talking about because I work closely with many clients who are newly off of hormonal birth control. When we’re newly off of hormonal birth control, our ability to get pregnant may return quickly or may take awhile. Regardless, one thing we almost always see is irregular cervical fluid and temperature shifts. What this means is that using the sympto-thermal method of natural birth control can be a little tricker.

In today’s episode we’ll cover…

>> What the menstrual cycle looks like after going off of hormonal birth control and the differences we see in cervical fluid and temperature

>> How we accommodate for these differences when using the sympto-thermal method after going off of hormonal birth control

>> How long it takes for the cycle to normalize and see regular cervical fluid and temperature shifts

>> My top 3 tips for anyone looking to cycle track post hormonal birth control

On this episode of Menstrual Mastery, we’re doing a deep dive into the sympto-thermal double check method that I teach here at Sauvage wellness and how it works as natural birth control.

Today we’re going to cover…

>> How the sympto-thermal double check method is different from simply cycle tracking. Even I use these terms interchangeably for the sake of using language that most folks are familiar with, however more accurately the sympto-thermal double check method is a form of cycle tracking - BUT not all cycle tracking is the sympto-thermal method and we’ll explore why that is

>> And we’ll also cover what symptoms you need to keep track of when using the sympto-thermal method, how to track them, and how these symptoms give us all the info we need to prevent pregnancy naturally

For some of you who’ve been in the Sauvage Wellness community for a while, this episode is a great refresher and for those who are new to our community - Welcome. This episode might just blow your mind!
