27. Is your period healthy for pregnancy + Clarissa's story

As a gender collective, we have been encouraged to medicate away common period issues with birth control and ibuprofen, and just survive the mood swings as best we can. BUT, your period isn't really a nuisance, it's actually information.

In today’s episode, I dive into 6 different menstrual cycle parameters to help you identify if your cycle is healthy for pregnancy. Then you’ll hear from my client Clarissa who tried to conceive for 3 years before she finally got pregnant. We discuss how we used the Fertility Awareness Method to discover the gaps in her health which were preventing her from getting pregnant.

Episode Highlights:

• Mindset shift from hating to loving your period
• What it means to be ‘body literate’
• The Fertility Awareness Method and how it helps identify fertility issues
• How understanding your cycle can help you advocate for yourself
• The 6 parameters of a healthy menstrual cycle for pregnancy
• Clarissa’s 3 year TTC journey and how she got pregnant
