Acne and hair shedding after stopping birth control can feel alarming—but they’re often signs that your hormones are waking up and asking for support.

In this week’s episode of Cycle Wisdom, Dr. Monica Minjeur explains why post-pill acne and hair loss happen, how long it typically lasts, and when testing actually helps (and when it doesn’t).

Through Allie’s story, you’ll learn how SHBG, testosterone, progesterone, nutrients, and ovulation recovery intersect—and what truly helps your skin, hair, and cycles rebalance without panic or unnecessary medications.

Ovulating after day 20?
That doesn’t automatically mean PCOS—but it does deserve attention.

Late ovulation is usually a follicle issue, not a calendar issue.
Your body often delays releasing an egg until conditions feel right.

Some common reasons ovulation shifts later:
• Poor sleep or frequent travel disrupting circadian rhythm
• Chronic stress delaying LH release
• Insulin resistance—even with “normal” labs
• Low iron or thyroid support
• Coming off hormonal birth control
• Illness or inflammation

Late ovulation alone isn’t diagnostic of PCOS.
PCOS requires more than timing—it looks at androgens, ultrasound findings, and metabolic patterns.

The real question isn’t when you ovulate.
It’s why.

🎧 In this episode of Cycle Wisdom, Dr. Monica Minjeur explains how to tell a short-term delay from a pattern that needs evaluation—and what actually helps bring ovulation back into a steadier rhythm.

Late ovulation isn’t random—it’s often your body’s way of saying conditions aren’t quite right yet.

In this week's episode of Cycle Wisdom, Dr. Monica Minjeur explains why ovulation may consistently happen after day 20, how stress, sleep, metabolism, thyroid health, and insulin resistance affect follicle development, and how to tell the difference between a temporary delay and a pattern that needs attention.

Through Frida’s story, you’ll learn how cycle-timed testing and restorative steps can help bring ovulation back into a more predictable, fertile rhythm—without panic or overcorrection.

If your cycles feel unpredictable or ovulation keeps shifting later each month, this episode will help you understand what your body may be asking for.

Light periods are often labeled “lucky.”
But your period is a hormone-driven process—and lighter flow can be a clue.

Here are 3 things no one told us about light periods:

1. Estrogen builds the lining.
Low or underpowered estrogen = less lining to shed.

2. Progesterone finishes the job.
Borderline or low progesterone can lead to short, light bleeding.

3. Patterns matter.
A consistent 1–2 day period—or a sudden change—can reflect stress, under-fueling, heavy training, or hormone disruption.

Light doesn’t always mean healthy.
It means it’s worth asking why.

A super light 1–2 day period can feel like a win—but sometimes it’s your body’s way of saying your uterine lining isn’t getting the estrogen and progesterone support it needs.

In this week's episode of Cycle Wisdom, Dr. Monica Minjeur explains what light flow can mean, how endometrial thickness and bleeding patterns reflect hormone health, and when it’s time to look deeper with cycle-timed labs and an ultrasound—especially if you’re trying to conceive.

You’ll hear Nina’s story: an endurance runner in graduate school whose period suddenly became lighter. Her evaluation showed low iron stores, low-normal estrogen, borderline progesterone, and a thin uterine lining (5.2 mm). With targeted nutrition, a reduced training load, iron repletion, and luteal-phase progesterone support, her fertile signs improved, her bleeding normalized, and she felt confident in her fertility plan.

Why?

Why is there spotting?
What does it signal?
What is the body trying to say?
How long has this been happening?
And what signs show up during the rest of the cycle?

Brown bleeding or spotting may be normal.
Or it may be a clue.

And the difference comes down to the why.

Here are the three most common reasons spotting shows up before a period:

Hormonal — most often low progesterone after ovulation, causing early breakdown of the uterine lining.

Structural — things like fibroids, polyps, or cervical ectropion that can increase bleeding.

Inflammatory or metabolic — including chronic endometritis, insulin resistance, or thyroid dysfunction that interferes with healthy ovulation.

Spotting isn’t the diagnosis.
It’s the signal.

And understanding the why is what determines what steps need to be taken next.

Brown or pink spotting before your period—normal… or a red flag?

In this week’s episode of Cycle Wisdom, Dr. Monica Minjeur explains how to tell the difference between harmless, occasional spotting and patterns that point to something deeper—like luteal phase deficiency, ovulation quality issues, or concerns with the uterine environment, including chronic endometritis.

We also cover how thyroid function and insulin resistance can quietly contribute, and why timing matters when it comes to labs, ultrasounds, and treatment.

You’ll hear Chloe’s story—how cycle charting revealed spotting starting 9 days after ovulation, labs confirmed low progesterone, and cycle-timed support resolved the spotting and lengthened her luteal phase.

If you’ve been told “this is normal” but your cycle keeps raising questions, this episode will help you understand what to track, what to test, and what next steps can actually look like.
