    What Your Cervix Position Can Tell You About Ovulation

    Send us a text

    I spend a lot (a lot) of time talking about cervical mucus and basal body temperature as the fertile signs that can tell you the most about your fertility and ovulation.

     

    Did you know there is another sign that can also give you incredible insight into your fertile window? It’s one that I swear by whenever I’m a little confused about what might be happening in my cycle.

     

    It’s the position of your cervix, which changes significantly throughout your cycle and can really help you to troubleshoot if your mucus or BBT aren’t super clear. It’s not essential, but can be very helpful.

     

     

    Here’s What We’re Talking About:

    •  The primary fertile signs – cervical mucus and BBT
    • Cervix position as a secondary fertile sign
    • How to check cervix position
    • How does the cervix actually change throughout the menstrual cycle?
    • Tracking the changes in your cervix position

    Accidents can happen. You can do everything right and be so careful but sometimes the condom breaks, or he doesn’t make it out in time. 

     

    No method of contraception is 100% fool-proof (you have to remember to take the pill every day for it to be effective!)

     

    So let’s talk about your options for emergency contraception if you’re currently using a method of birth control.

     

     

    Here’s What We’re Talking About:

    • Understanding your cycle enables you to know if emergency contraception is truly needed
    • Access to emergency contraception in Australia
    • Emergency contraception options
    • How emergency contraception works
    • What to do next
    • Will emergency contraception delay my period or impact my fertility?
    • Side effects of emergency contraception
    • Contraindications

    Your Guide to Using Lubricants When Trying To Conceive

    Send us a text

    To lube, or not to lube? That is the question.

    And if it's one you've been asking yourself too, then I have the answers for you.

    There’s a question that has suddenly started to pop up in my DMs and inbox. A lot of you are asking about how to safely use lubricants when trying to conceive, so I thought it was time to answer your questions. 

     

    If you’re trying to conceive, you want to make sure you’re doing everything possible to maximise your chances. Something that a lot of you are certainly starting to consider is the effect that your standard supermarket lubricant could have both on your fertile cervical mucus as well as his sperm.  So, in this episode we’re talking about how to use lubricants effectively when trying to conceive; how to use them, when to use them and some of my recommendations too.

     

     

    Here’s What We’re Talking About:

    •  Do you need to use lubricant?
    • Are lubricants safe when trying to conceive?
    • Which lubricants are best when trying to conceive?
