Wow. I’m amazed I am already writing a 28 week update. That I’m already in the 3rd trimester. That this baby could come (safely) in as little as 9 weeks. Everything is just flying by. Buuuut I’m not super sad about that and won’t be sad if the rest of this pregnancy feels fast, too…. Read More
What can you do about time zone changes when charting your temperature using fertility awareness?
I have been travelling for 6 months now and since changing time zones my BBTs are no where near as low as they used to be at the start of the month and don’t rise much after ovulation. My cycle is an average 28 days and I have strong ovulation signs at day 14 but… Read More
8 Steps to Reverse your PCOS – A book review
ANOTHER PCOS book?! Yuuup. And I don’t think that’s a bad thing. For one thing, PCOS is very common. In fact it’s one of, if not the, most common hormonal issue in women of childbearing age, so I think it’s a good thing to discuss. Not only that, but in general a lot of the… Read More
How to separate the science from the fiction when you are holistically minded?
If you are anything like me, you tend to like to do things more naturally/holistically/whateveryawannacallit, you spend a lot of time learning about these things, and you like to separate the truth from the fiction. Problem is, that last part can be tricky. Super tricky. That’s why when I got this question I knew I… 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
How to tell the difference between cervical fluid and arousal fluid
Disclaimer: Any time I talk about specific fertility awareness technique I have to say this – It’s soooo important to learn the entire method before using it as birth control. Whether that is from a comprehensive book or two or from a class. You CAN NOT just learn this method with an app, googling, online blogs, and… 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
What can you do about a missing period (especially after coming off the pill)?
It’s surprising how many people simply DON’T get their periods. If this is happening to you it’s because ovulation is missing, since a period is the result of ovulation. The only way to truly fix this issue is to get yourself ovulating! Since this is a common issue when I got this question I knew… Read More
When will my hormones (and cervical fluid) regulate after coming off hormonal birth control?
This past March I emailed you asking for guidance on stopping hormonal birth control. You said to just stop, and I did. And I couldn’t be more thankful. My body feels SO much better. I didn’t realize how much it was affecting my mental health as well. I’m getting rather frustrated still because my body… 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
