Ep 245: Understanding Your Menstrual Cycle
Manage episode 400727018 series 2787115
In this episode you're going to learn exactly what happens during your menstrual cycle. I decided to talk about this because, quite frankly, it’s something that many of us don’t fully understand. We talk about our cycles in relation to pregnancy but there’s a lot more to periods than ovulation!
Your cycle can influence so many aspects of your life: libido, mood, energy, skin, appetite, and more! Better understanding your periods can help you make informed decisions regarding reproductive health, fertility, and overall well-being.
In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:
- What constitutes a regular menstrual cycle
- What the phases of the cycle are
- Which hormones are associated with pregnancy
- When ovulation occurs
- How to track ovulation
- How fertilization and implantation work
- How IUDs prevent pregnancy
- Whether you can really have a period while you’re pregnant
