No, you cannot ovulate twice in one menstrual cycle!Every now and then I see people on social media saying they ovulated twice and that’s absolutely not possible. This myth is part of the reason some people don’t trust the fertility awareness method, but I promise this is not going to happen.
There’s a common myth that you can’t get pregnant during your period but this is definitely wrong!
Chances are you won’t actually ovulate during your period – however you may start to get cervical mucus and that mucus can keep sperm alive until the egg is released and ta da! You are pregnant.
So what do you do?
Using the fertility awareness method while travelling can sometimes be a bit tricky.
Depending where you’re going and what you’re doing you may or may not be able to create an accurate chart.
I’m here to give you some tips on how to use fertility awareness most effectively when travelling.
You may be thinking there’s just one method of fertility awareness, after all, most of what we see online is about the sympto-thermal method.
In reality there are a ton of different options and all of them are valid choices – it’s up to you to decide what works best for you. Read on to see what the different options are.
One of the most common confusions when first learning the Fertility Awareness Method is figuring out what the heck vaginal cell slough is and how it differentiates from mucus.
This often leads to people over-interpreting mucus and thinking they are fertile for many more days than they really are and having inaccurate charts. Read on to find out how to distinguish these two – it’s actually really easy!
If you’ve been following my blog for a while you know I teach the Justisse Method of fertility awareness. Questions I get asked a lot are, how is this method different from others? What makes it unique? Or, why should I use this over any other method?
This post will explain all that and more!
Having a healthy menstrual cycle is about far more than just how regular it is and how long it lasts.
And unfortunately, the vast majority of women don’t know what to look for to figure this out.
The common myth is that if your cycle is about 28 days and fairly regular, and if the pain isn’t unbearable or flow too heavy, that everything is fine. In reality, there’s a lot more to it.
Well, that is the question, isn’t it?!
There seems to be some debate, and I’ve heard it from my own clients, about whether or not it’s possible to practice fertility awareness for contraception accurately and effectively by using mucus only.
I have to tell you that temping is not intrinsically better than not temping! But there’s a big caveat here: it all depends on how you were trained.
There are so many apps, devices, and discussion groups floating around the interwebs these days that it’s enough to make a person wonder if they can really be successful with charting on their own. What app should you use? What discussion board will be most helpful? Can you really do it without some kind of device to back you up?
This is a question I often see asked in fertility awareness discussion boards online. “When did I ovulate?” they want to know.
The truth is, we’ll never know exactly when we ovulate unless we have an ultrasound scan of our ovaries every day — and who would want to do that?! So how do we know when we’re infertile after ovulation if we can’t actually pinpoint ovulation?
