Disclaimer: As with any time I write about the specifics of fertility awareness, I’ve gotta remind you that you MUST take a class or AT LEAST read a full book on the sympto-thermal method of fertility awareness to practice it properly. Reading blog posts and downloading an app does not cut it, kapish? It’s… Read More
Natural birth control post-partum (while breastfeeding)
You’ve had a baby and are breastfeeding and you don’t want to have another baby too close to your current baby. That means birth control. The (not so) fun thing about birth control post-partum is that your options are a little more limited if you are breastfeeding. And if you want to use natural methods… Read More
What is a “normal menstrual cycle” and should I be worried about my hormonal health?
I often get questions about whether X (Insert just about anything about periods and the menstrual cycle here) is “normal.” Meaning, does that happening mean that the asker has some kind of hormonal issue, or is it ok that it’s happening and not indicate any kind of issue. When you start charting your menstrual cycles,… Read More
Do not mix and match fertility awareness methods
Sometimes I notice trends in the fertility awareness world. Whether it’s because I see them in clients doing one on one work or whether it’s in a facebook group or two, there is one that is currently bothering me. I know about half of what I talk about here ends up being cautions about fertility… Read More
Pregnancy update: 24 weeks
How far along? 24 weeks. Everyone keeps saying I’m at the age of viability and I’m like: STOP SAYING THAT! It feels like people wishing a pre-term labor on you to me. How big is the baby? I don’t know the specifics on my own baby, but in general they are about 12 inches and 1… Read More
Pregnancy update: 20 weeks
I’m going to try to stick to an “every 4 weeks” pregnancy update over here, since sooo many people want to hear what’s going on. I can also attempt to sprinkle in FAQs I’ve been getting and other things along the way, but I’m also going to use a template for consistency’s sake. Some people… Read More
Should you be lenient with self-care or a stickler for getting it done?
I’ve talked about self care a couple of times here, so I thought this question that came in would be a great one to answer. The Q: I was wondering what your take is on self discipline vs. leniency with respect to proper self care. I guess my personal challenge is staying on track doing… Read More
Does it make sense to do something good for your fertility if you don’t want to get pregnant?
There is a specific type of question that I get a lot. I’ll give you one example, but just know that there are many ways to ask this same question (though, I have heard this specific example much more than once). My doctor recommended that I take prenatal vitamins since I am not on hormonal birth… Read More
Why you shouldn’t use the rhythm method (and what you should use instead)
You have probably heard of the rhythm method. What you might be shaky on is what exactly it is and how effective it is. Perhaps you have a few friends that have told you they count days on a calendar to figure out when they are ovulating (and likely they also use withdrawal) and they… Read More
The connection between you hormones and your gut health
One of the most overlooked players in hormonal health is actually the health of your gut. Without a healthy gut your hormones can easily get out of balance. Because of that, I wanted to bring someone onto the podcast to specifically talk to us about how the gut and hormones are connected, some symptoms that… Read More
