The Period Recovery Podcast

When You Don't Always Lose Your Period in HA


Listen Later

Sarah shares her journey of regulating her menstrual cycle and conceiving two children. She initially experienced irregular periods after coming off birth control, which led her to make lifestyle changes. She stopped intermittent fasting, ate more balanced meals, and dialed back her intense exercise routine. Through these changes, she was able to regulate her cycle and conceive her first child. After nursing her first child, she got her period back and was able to conceive her second child. Sarah's perspective on exercise and eating has shifted, and she now focuses on enjoying movement, listening to her body, and being present with her children.

Takeaways

  • Coming off birth control can lead to irregular periods, even if a period is initially present.
  • Lifestyle changes, such as balanced eating and dialing back intense exercise, can help regulate the menstrual cycle.
  • Being present and enjoying movement is more important than pushing oneself to meet certain exercise goals.
  • Listening to the body's needs and adjusting exercise and eating habits accordingly is key to overall health and well-being.
  • Regulating the menstrual cycle can increase the chances of conceiving and having a healthy pregnancy.
