#3 | How To Encourage Healthy Ovulation
In this bite-sized episode, we’ll be discussing how to encourage healthy ovulation. Ovulation is the main event in your monthly cycle, not to be confused with your period and it’s what you’re needing to occur in order to conceive. Ovulation is essentially when your ovary (either left or right) releases an egg.Or in some very rare instances both ovaries release an egg. Interestingly, this is how fraternal twins are conceived but most commonly, you ovulate from just one ovary per cycle. Ovulation also leads to a surge in progesterone. An important sex hormone required to sustain and maintain early pregnancy before the placenta takes over around week 12. Low levels of progesterone are also associated with whacky cycle signs and symptoms such as premenstrual spotting, heavy periods, short luteal phase (the phase following ovulation), painful periods, mood swings, low libido, headaches etc.Low levels are also one of the reasons for implantation failure and can be responsible for early miscarriage. Bottom line, ovulation is super important. Not just for optimal fertility outcomes but for overall health. Whether a woman ovulates or not says a lot about her health status. Download your FREE copy of the Fertility Starter Kit & 7 Day Meal Planhttps://view.flodesk.com/pages/62899fc25177e0c449d5c7acThe Conception Method Cookbookhttps://www.theconceptionmethod.com/ebookApply To Work With Mehttps://www.theconceptionmethod.com/apply-to-work-with-meFollow me on IGhttps://www.instagram.com/fertility.nutritionist.lacey/
