Candace was a 28-year-old pediatric nurse working 12-hour shifts. On her heavy days, she layered pads over tampons and still stressed about leaking—especially on nights when bathrooms weren’t close. A coworker suggested a menstrual cup, but her first try leaked on day one, so she gave up and went back to tampons and backup pads.

At her visit with us, we talked through why it hadn’t worked and what options might actually fit her body. We walked through cervix height, flow, firmness, and comfort—and recommended a softer, shorter option and a specific menstrual disc to try.

Once she found the right fit, everything changed.

Candace went an entire 12-hour shift leak-free. No constant bathroom trips. No carrying an emergency bag of supplies. At her follow-up she told us, “I finally forget I’m even on my period those first couple of days.”

If heavy cycles or constant changes have been running your month, there is a better way.

What if your period didn’t mean constant bathroom trips, backup pads, or worrying about leaks?

In this week's episode of Cycle Wisdom, Dr. Monica Minjeur explores menstrual cups and menstrual discs—their benefits, differences, and how to find the right fit for your body. You’ll learn what makes medical-grade silicone safer for your vaginal microbiome, how to troubleshoot leaks, and why these products can help you feel clean, confident, and in control.

If heavy cycles, irritation, or frustration with traditional products have been holding you back, there’s a better way. At Radiant Clinic, we help women understand their cycles—because knowledge brings confidence.

When Carrie and Lucas were told they had “unexplained infertility,” the next words out of their provider’s mouth weren’t about testing or treatment options—they were about financing.

At their first fertility clinic visit, they were quoted nearly $18,000 for an IVF cycle, with medications and storage not included. They hadn’t been offered a full hormone workup. No one had asked about inflammation, thyroid, or insulin levels. And although Lucas had a basic s***m test, no one looked at quality or hormone balance.

Before signing paperwork, they came to Radiant Clinic for a second opinion. Through cycle-informed charting and in-depth testing, we uncovered multiple pieces of the puzzle: a luteal phase hormone deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, and chronic endometritis for Carrie—and low testosterone, prediabetes, and sleep apnea for Lucas. Each finding brought them closer to answers, and with treatment, their charts and health began to normalize.

Carrie said it best: “I wasn’t against IVF—I just didn’t want it to be the first step. I wanted to understand why.”

Infertility deserves answers before procedures. At Radiant Clinic, we take the time to uncover the why—through hormone timing, metabolic evaluation, male factor testing, and restorative care that supports both partners’ health.

What if the first thing you were offered for infertility wasn’t a diagnosis, but a $20,000 procedure?

Unfortunately, this scenario is all too common: couples are fast-tracked to IVF before they’ve had a true evaluation of their health. Maybe they’ve had a few cursory lab tests, but not a full hormone panel or s***m quality test. They’re told they have “unexplained infertility,” and referred to IVF as the next step.

And sadly, couples assume that this means all other options have been exhausted, which is usually not true. A Restorative Reproductive Medicine approach looks at all of the following:
- Full hormone panel timed with the menstrual cycle
- Ovulation strength and consistency
- Anatomy evaluation
- Semen analysis

And we rule out:
Autoimmune factors
- Thyroid and adrenal dysfunction
- Insulin resistance or other metabolic dysfunction
- Chronic endometritis or endometriosis

Based on what we find, we create a clear plan to correct what’s fixable. Then, you can make decisions from a standpoint of clarity rather than panic or a clock ticking over your head. And, you walk out with a long-term plan to improve your overall health while promoting fertility.

On this week's episode of Cycle Wisdom, we discuss the Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM) approach to fertility, how it can uncover underlying causes of infertility that conventional medicine misses, and why IVF should never be the first step.

We dive into:
- The medical, financial and emotional costs of skipping root-cause care
- Understanding IVF success rates
- Carrie and Lucas’ story of finding our clinic after being immediately referred to IVF
- Details of a full RRM fertility workup

Hannah and Ben had been trying to conceive for over a year. What started as exciting—tracking cycles and planning for the future—slowly turned into pressure. Intimacy began to feel scheduled. Fertility charts and ovulation kits took the place of spontaneity. And each month that passed without a positive test made them feel further apart.

By the time they came to Radiant Clinic, they weren’t just looking for answers about hormones—they were looking for a way to reconnect. Together, we used fertility awareness charting to narrow the true fertile window and helped them understand when conception was most likely, removing weeks of unnecessary pressure. But more importantly, they were given permission to rebuild closeness outside those fertile days—to hold hands, to rest, and to be together without a clock running.

Their story is a reminder that fertility care should support both your body and your relationship. When intimacy starts feeling like work, it’s time to reframe the journey—with compassion, clarity, and a plan that honors both partners.

What if the hardest part of trying to conceive isn’t the lab work — but what it does to your relationship?

Having to time in*******se can become a source of pressure in your relationship, and over time, it can sabotage your connection. What used to feel fun and spontaneous can turn into, “well, tonight we have to.”

First, this is an incredibly common experience, even though people don’t tend to talk about it. Your relationship isn’t “broken,” it’s just under pressure.

Clearly understanding when you’re fertile, so you can narrow your window to just a few days, can help immensely. And if you’ve been trying a long time, getting an evaluation to identify any underlying concerns will give you peace of mind and a clear path forward.

On this week's episode of Cycle Wisdom, we meet Hannah and Ben, who came to us for a fertility evaluation, and in the process, learned to restore their intimacy instead of feeling exhausted and resentful.

We cover:
-Practical steps to protect your relationship when trying to conceive
-It’s not low libido, it’s your nervous system: how s*x on a schedule creates anxiety and pressure
-Why it’s important to protect intimacy (not just s*x) outside of fertile days
-The emotional impact of TTC
