This is by far THE most common concern amongst the women I work with when I first meet with them.

If you're not sure how to determine when (or if) you're ovulating, you are not alone & I am here to clear it up for you once and for all!

How to know when you're ovulating...

✨Signs you are approaching ovulation ✨

🌹 You are producing fertile quality cervical mucus: Clear, stretchy, lubricative. Many women have VERY limited mucus (especially if they are undereating and/or have been on hormonal contraceptives).

🌹 If you are using OPKs (aka LH strips): When you see a positive, this is an indication your body is approaching ovulation within the next 24-36 hours. Ovulation does not always occur and there can be both false positives & negatives. This is why having a trusted guide to help you interpret this is so important!

✨ Confirming you have already ovulated ✨

🌹 You have a sustained BBT (Basal body temperature) shift. This means that BBT cannot be used to determine a good time to have sex. Once your temperature has shifted - ovulation has already occurred.

It is essential that you are not only relying on ONE sign in order to truly confirm when/if ovulation is happening.

This week on the podcast I am diving into supplementation while on the journey towards consciously conceiving.

I always recommend starting with the foundational factors - nutrition, sleep, movement & stress relief. If these are not in place, supplementation may just be a waste of time and money.

Less is more when it comes to supplementation. Tune in to learn more about determining the right supplements for you.

Here are links to purchase the supplements that I mention in the episode -

In this episode I am sharing a different perspective on the idea that the period is the fifth vital sign.

In this episode I break down some of the uses of the fertility awareness method (FAM) outside of conception or pregnancy prevention. You can learn so much about what's going on in your system through tracking simple signs each day.

Basal body temperature provides you with insight into:

Cervical mucus tracking provides you with insight into:

This week on the podcast I share about using cycle syncing in conjunction with FAM charting. I love how Clarissa Pinkola Estes describes the ebbs and flows that women experience within their bodies as cyclical beings.

Cycle syncing involves tracking the shifts and changes in the cycle as they relate to the changes women experience in their mood and energy levels. Checking in with these rhythms allows us the opportunity to check in with what are sweet bodies are asking us for.

The 5 phases of the menstrual cycle -

When we have this as our background, it can allow us the permission to care for ourselves in ways that are most supportive of our health. There are certainly times in life that it's not possible to live according to your cyclical rhythm and I cover some considerations on that in this episode as well.

In this episode I am breaking down some of the key considerations when it comes to choosing a thermometer to use for tracking your basal body temperature (BBT). Getting an accurate BBT reading is an essential component of charting your fertility and assessing your overall health and it all begins with ensuring you are getting the most accurate reading possible.

In this episode I am breaking down some of the most important aspects of cervical mucus.

This week I share about using the practice of Yoni Steaming for optimizing fertility.

In my opinion, there isn't a Yoni steaming protocol or blend of herbs that are indicated for all women that are TTC.

We are always looking to improve root imbalances when working with any cycle irregularities or hormonal imbalances.

With that said, there are some aspects of Yoni steaming that are useful across the board for women that are TTC -

🌹 Warms the womb

🌹 Promotes the circulation of Qi (vital energy ) and blood

🌹 Clears out old, stagnant blood at the end of the period

🌹 Increases libido

🌹 Improves vaginal lubrication and cervical mucus production
