🌈 What is ovulation + how to track it 🥚🌡️⬇️

Most of us didn’t get the best s*x ed classes (if you even got one at all), and they certainly didn’t cover your fertility, so let me break this down for you right now 👇

🥚 Ovulation is the main event of our cycle 

➡️ Ovulation is what happens when an egg “drops” or bursts from its sack and is now ready to be fertilized with s***m to potentially make a baby. Ovulation itself is actually not very long, although we give it about 24 hours.

💧 The fertile window is the window of time in which we can get pregnant. That typically lasts 5-7 days. Why? Because s***m can live inside of us for ~5 days.

So if you are doin the deed and your partner finishes inside of you on Monday, that s***m could possibly get you pregnant if you ovulate a few days later that week.

If you’re TTC, this can work in your favor to be intimate the days leading up to ovulation, but if you’re trying to avoid it is helpful to know for sure where you’re at in your cycle so that you can choose to abstain or use a barrier method and/ or pullout!

After ovulation and up until menstruation (and for some people even a few days into menstruation - important to reference the rules of your FAM method to be sure), we cannot get pregnant! So after you can confirm that ovulation has occurred and have effectively charted your cycle (manually with a FAM method, NOT with a prediction app), you can usually do all of the things you want to each other’s fun parts without a care in the world!

So… HOW do we track our ovulation? There’s a few ways: 

1️⃣ Basal Body Temperate (BBT)
2️⃣ Cervical mucus monitoring
3️⃣ Cervical Position
4️⃣ Ovulation Predictor Kits (OPKs)
5️⃣ A mix of all of the above in a FAM method of your choice

What is FAM? 👉 The goal of the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) is to use the body’s biological signs to make getting pregnant or avoiding pregnancy ideally easy AF. You just have to know how to read those signs and make them work in your favor!

a few of hormone happy things I do for stress management 👇🏻

🔥 Self pleasure - self pleasure and or***ms have been shown to decrease stress and increase our happy chemicals! They also help to increase libido and balance hormones

✨ Dry brushing - dry brushing stimulates the lymphatic system and encourages blood flow, but it is also a really sweet way to take care of your body and show yourself some love

🛁 Epsom salt/ magnesium baths (or foot bath) - you can also add some lavender essential oil to the water if you really want to chill tf out. Light some candles, close your eyes, and relaaax

🍃 Castor oil packs - applying heat and castor oil to the abdomen can help to reduce stress, inflammation, and cramps, and can also stimulate blood flow. Do research to ensure this is safe for you, not encouraged to do this over the abdomen with an IUD!

🏋🏼‍♀️ Exercise - regular exercise can help to combat stress and inflammation. exercise can mean getting outside for a run or doing a yoga video!

🎨 Get a hobby - so many of us will go to work, eat, sleep, and wake up and do it again. stress management can be accomplished by participating in a hobby that you really enjoy!

Which one of these stress management tools are you doing to use this week? 💌 tell me in the comments 🤳

🚨PSA: you can ask for pain management or sedation for IUD insertion or removal!🚨

A lot of people don't know this! But you can request pain management for IUD placement/ removal and its BS that we’re not offered it outright. (obviously, it is only possible if it is safe for you personally to take).

If you’re denied pain management, you can look into a provider that offers it or ask your provider to make a note of it on your chart that you asked for pain management and were denied.
