It’s not just a “missed period.”
It’s your body waving a very big hormonal flag saying something’s off.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No, it’s not normal.
And no, it’s not “lucky.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because no period = no ovulation = no progesterone — the hormone that keeps your mood, bones, metabolism and fertility on track.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So what’s actually going on when your hormones go MIA? 👇
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧠 If it’s Hypothalamic Amenorrhoea (HA):
You’ll often see low FSH, low LH, low DHEA, low testosterone and high cortisol.
Think: overexercising, under-eating, or chronic stress telling your brain to hit pause. Particularly with previous ED you can continue to see chronic suppression years after the fact.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💪 If it’s PCOS:
Expect high LH, high DHEA, high testosterone and high cortisol.
Your brain’s shouting “ovulate!” but the ovaries are stuck
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If it’s High Prolactin:
You’ll see elevated prolactin on a blood test — this can suppress ovulation and stop periods completely.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧪 And if you’re not getting a period — get tested.
You don’t need to wait for a “day 21” or “day 3.”
If you’re not cycling, any day is a good day to start investigating.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your period isn’t just a monthly event — it’s a monthly report card for your hormones.
And if it’s missing, it’s time to find out why.

Thinking about getting pregnant? 💫

Your prenatal is not the plan it’s the bare minimum…..

Sure, a good prenatal lays the foundation, but if you really want to optimise your fertility, it’s time to get strategic with your bloods.

🩸 Here’s what I recommend testing pre-pregnancy:
• FBC
• eLFTs
• Vitamin B12 — Ideal >500
• Folate — Ideal >45
• Iron Studies (Iron, Ferritin, Saturation, Transferrin)
• Vitamin D — Ideal 75–120
• TSH — Ideal 1–2
• Thyroid Antibodies
• FSH, LH, Oestrogen, Progesterone
• Cortisol, DHEA, Testosterone, SHBG
• Insulin — Ideal 4–8
• HbA1c — Ideal

Are you starting a gut protocol? You need to start with digestive enzymes first before you have your anti microbial herbs.

Why? Your gut bacteria love to hide under a sticky layer called biofilm.

The enzyme works like a key 🔑 — it helps break down that biofilm so the antimicrobial herbs can get in there and do their job.

⏱️ So the timing looks like this:
1️⃣ Digestive enzyme – first thing in the morning, empty stomach.
2️⃣ Wait 30–60 minutes.
3️⃣ Then take your antimicrobial (like Bactrex).

Do that, and your protocol is far more effective at getting to the bacteria that shouldn’t be there.

High oestrogen = miserable periods. Although I love oestrogen, like many things it’s a balance.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Oestrogen is a growth promoter and helps to thicken your lining for you, so more oestrogen means a thicker lining and that means a heavier period.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, for some us, you may have had a period that is heavy your whole life and not realised it’s actually heavy! Ideally you want to lose no more than 80mls of blood in a whole period, yes you read right, the whole period from start to finish should be no more than 80mls of blood loss.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are ways to support your oestrogen detox pathways to lower the levels and lighten the bleed 🧡🧡

You had a fertility check.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It included progesterone, AMH, and a pelvic ultrasound.
You were told, “Everything looks fine.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s the problem:
👉🏼 Progesterone only tells you if you ovulated that month — not if you ovulate consistently.
👉🏼AMH is a measure of egg reserve, not egg quality or hormone balance.
👉🏼 Pelvic ultrasounds show structure, but not how your hormones or metabolism are functioning.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fertility isn’t just your ovaries.
It’s your thyroid, your nutrient stores, your inflammation levels, your blood sugar, and your overall hormone picture.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A complete fertility work-up should include:
✅ Full thyroid panel + antibodies
✅ Insulin + blood sugar markers
✅ Vitamin D, iron, B12, folate, zinc
✅ Inflammatory markers
✅ Hormone mapping across your cycle
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tell me — have you had a “fertility check” that was really just the big three?
What was missing from yours?

Thrush again? Yah, it ain’t fun! Most women feel like they get stuck on a cycle of “thrush flares” it gets better then bam we have s*x and it flares or it flares right before your period.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Targeting the right strains = fewer flare-ups and better vaginal flora long-term.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Better yet, order a vaginal microbiome mapping test, you can self test through Nutripath and use myself a practitioner to guide you through treatment ❤️

Most fertility struggles start with imbalanced bloodwork that’s been overlooked.

Make sure your doctor tests these:

📍 Thyroid Panel (TSH, T3, T4, Thyroid Antibodies) – Because “normal” thyroid results aren’t always optimal.
📍 Fasting Insulin & Glucose – High insulin can disrupt ovulation.
📍 Iron Studies (Not Just Ferritin! 🔥).
📍 FSH, LH, Oestrogen, Progesterone (Tested 7 days after ovulation!) – Low levels? That’s a miscarriage risk.
📍 Folate & Vitamin B12 - both are essential for reducing the risk of neural tube defects.
📍 Urinary Iodine - essential for healthy thyroid hormone production which is essential for progesterone and early embryonic development.
📍Zinc - essential for progesterone and egg quality.
📍 Vitamin D

This is just the starting point. If you’re TTC, get these checked & work with someone who knows how to read them properly.
