OVULATION ≠ YOUR FERTILE WINDOW!!! Ovulation is one event → it’s when your ovary releases an egg, which is only viable for approximately 12–24 hours. BUTTTT sperm can survive for up to FIVE DAYS when the conditions are right, thanks to fertile cervical mucus which means you could have sex on

and for the FINAL women's health horror story of the month (late because I was sick!!) - we're bringing things back to the present because according to the 2023 State of the Period study, 78% of teens reported learning more about the biology of FROGS than the human female body in school. and unf

No but seriously… women really WERE institutionalized for behaviour that didn't align with society's expectations of how women should behave. welcome back to women’s health horror stories!!! SO let’s look at a horrifying bit of history together: in the 19th century, women could find themselve

it’s the last week of women’s health horror stories and today we're talking about the fact that CHAINSAWS were originally developed for CHILDBIRTH… in the 1700s, childbirth could be incredibly dangerous, particularly when a baby became stuck during labour. C-sections existed, but without modern

SARAH J. MAAS, I LOVE YOU BUT PLEASE: 🩸your period is not your entire menstrual cycle🩸 your period is the time you're bleeding, while your menstrual cycle is the entire hormonal process that begins on day 1 of your period and continues until the day before your next period. which means, if

it's women's health horror story month + one of the wildest things I've come across is the fact that women were once encouraged to use LYSOL as a vaginal douche. … yes like the cleaning product. But even crazier is the fact that during the Great Depression- Lysol actually became the BEST SELL

AND four years of teaching women how to chart ovulation for birth control (FAM) and here are some things that genuinely surprise people: 1. pregnancy is only really possible for 5-6 days per cycle aka your fertile window… but if you’re not using fertility awareness to identify these days, every

okay so imagine it's the 1840s- you're giving birth in a hospital in Vienna + you have NO IDEA that the doctor examining you might have just come from dissecting a dead body. WITHOUT PROPERLY DISINFECTING HIS HANDS 💀 at Vienna General Hospital, there were two maternity wards. one was staffed

not to brag but I can’t remember the last time I had a late period, and it has NOTHING to do with my cycle being regular. Your cycle isn’t just from the first day of your period until your next period. Your cycle is full hormonal process that starts day 1 of your period and completes around 14

I want the tmi, the unhinged, the wait I’m not the only one… because let’s face it- most of us were not taught basically anything about our bodies!!!

my favourite fact about the female reproductive system is that your fallopian tubes are freely mobile and aren’t actually attached to your ovaries! They have finger like structures called fimbriae that guide and sweep the floating egg into the tube! SO even if you have one working fallopian tube

🌀 MAY YOUR NEXT OVULATION GIVE YOU THE AUDACITY OF A MEDIOCRE WHITE MAN 🌀 If you didn’t know, estrogen rises as you approach ovulation + you might notice that you feel a little more energetic, social, confident or willing to put yourself out there around this point in your cycle. For me: I’m

a horror story… but it’s just women’s health throughout history ☠️💀 I probably could have added 100 more which is… unsurprising. October around here = getting into the history and horror of women’s health all month long 🎃👻

your period app does not have a tiny window into your ovaries and does NOT know when you are ovulating!! very important note: not all period tracking apps are created equally. personally, I would never recommend relying on a period tracker that uses calendar based predictions to tell you when yo

ah that canon moment when you come off birth control for the first time since you were a literal teenager and realize you have nooooo idea how your body works… I can guarantee that you are in two camps: 1. you are thinking of conceiving in the next couple of years and want your cycle to regulate

Your fertile window is made up by three ingredients: a viable egg (which lives for about 12-24 hours), sp3rm AND fertile cervical mucus. Fertile mucus is what allows sp3rm to survive for up to 5 days. Adding all three ingredients together and you get your fertile window. Biologically, this w

As a fertility awareness educator who teaches women how to track ovulation, PMOS is one of those things that can make figuring out what happening in your cycle a little more complicated. Someone with PMOS can have multiple LH rises, higher levels of LH, multiple patches of fertile cervical mucus

Girl to girl... if you want to use your cycle as birth control, here are some hard truths you need to hear: → Tracking your cycle isn’t the same thing as using a fertility awareness method. A shocking number of people think they’re using FAM when they’re really just collecting data. → If you’
