it is time to re-imagine the menstrual cycle! 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 days after ovulation. It should really be called the ovulation cycle. Bec

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

okay I could have added SO many more but what would you add?! What did I miss?!

being a fertility awareness educator who teaches you how to avoid pregnancy naturally means that we ARE going to get tmi (no such thing) and I will ask you to describe things like: what your cervical mucus looks like, feels like and how much it stretches!!!

and you will probably end up thinking that cervical mucus is one of the coolest parts of the human body after spending years thinking it was “gross”. SORRY NOT SORRY!! Cervical mucus = the goat because it is the only biomarker that actually opens your fertile window. It is your body's real-t

you were taught the two options for not getting pregnant were 1) go on birth control for the rest of your menstruating days or 2) rely on luck + “track your cycle” .... but what if I told you were was a 3rd option aka: learning a Fertility Awareness Method At its core, FAM is based on th

as a certified candy FREAK who also cares about hormone health / wellness… I am completely over wellness culture insisting we eliminate entire food groups 🍬 there are few joys left in the world (gestures vaguely at the state of everything) and you can pry sour candy from my cold dead hands. s

hop in: we’re having a nuanced conversation about menstrual health, cycle syncing and body literacy!!! * not all cycle syncing / cyclical living advice is alt-right and I do think that the rise in cycle syncing has brought a lot of awareness to menstrual health (which is a good thing)! TLDR:

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

so you want to come off birth control and track ovulation instead… that’s cool but tracking in a predictive app is not going to cut it!!! The predictive app that you’ve been using for years is NOT birth control. … even if you are tracking mucus and/or your bbt. If you’re solely relying on

if I wanted to be off birth control and didn’t want to get pregnant, I’d learn a FAM method!!! fertility awareness is not woo woo nor is it luck. It is an alternative form of BC that requires consistency + an actual METHOD. It is a skill that takes time to develop. A fam method isn’t just “tr

every day I get a comment like “lol what are you talking about… you can get pregnant every day!!” And to that I raise you: IF you don’t know how to properly track and confirm ovulation… yeah please for the love of god treat every day as fertile. Ovulation itself is a 1 day event BUT you have

Late period guide

Is your period actually “late”… or do you just not know when you’ve ovulated?! Because those two things are VERY different and when you actually know when you’re ovulating - you’ll never stress out over a “late period” ever again because you’ll know that once you ovulate your period will come

hi yes I’m the girl on the internet who talks about cervical mucus way too much. consider this my official application to be your internet cycle big sister ↓ 1. I’m what I like to call “welln-ish.” I care deeply about supporting my hormones, eating enough protein + fibre, regulating my nerv

PSA to all my oura girlies out there: oura alone is NOT and I repeat NOT birth control. Oura is a temperature tool that can only tell you you’ve ovulated AFTER the fact - it tells you absolutely nothing about the start of your fertile window. Sure! You can use oura as your temp tool as long

another day, another myth that needs busting!!! Which menstrual health myth are you most surprised by?

AND 4 years of teaching women how to chart ovulation for birth control (FAM) and these are the things that genuinely shock 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 day s

some cycles I have literally zero PMS and some cycles I genuinely feel like a luteal ogre who wants to burn everything down… and you know what I think the difference is? some cycles I am making space for my luteal self - the self that has less energy, needs more nourishment, is craving different

came across a video talking about how people will go “I can’t be vegan, I love bacon too much” and she said why not do “vegan PLUS bacon” and omg I love a non black and white mentality!!! It applies to eating healthier too - “omg I can’t eat a well balanced diet because I love my treats/candy too m
