Have you ever felt like your body was sending you signals you just didn’t know how to read? In this episode, I’m sharing everything I wish I had known years earlier — before a nine-year fertility journey that could have looked very different if I had understood what my cycle was trying to tell me all along.
Whether you’re actively trying to conceive, trying not to conceive, or simply want to understand your body better, this episode is for you.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- Why your menstrual cycle is your fifth vital sign — and what that actually means for your overall health
- The four phases of your cycle and what’s happening hormonally in each one
- What a truly healthy cycle looks and feels like (hint: it’s probably not what you were taught in school)
- The three key symptoms to track so you always know where you are in your cycle
- What common cycle irregularities are trying to tell you about your hormones and fertility
- Why birth control doesn’t actually “regulate” your hormones — and what it does instead
Resources Mentioned
- Tempdrop wearable basal body temperature tracker
- Read Your Body app (my personal favorite for cycle tracking)
- Kindara app (another great option for cycle tracking)
