🌕 A monthly bleed doesn’t always mean you’re ovulating.

🌙🌘What causes an anovulatory bleed?

➡️Hormone fluctuations cause estradiol to rise, which thickens the endometrial lining. but if the rise is not high enough to trigger ovulation, estradiol drops and the uterine lining sheds. This results in bleeding.

🌖Anovulatory cycles are real — especially with stress, inflammation, or blood sugar dysregulation . Want to truly track ovulation? Look beyond your period. 🌙✨

🌙🌘Ways to note that ovulation is about to occur …

➡️Cervical mucus changes (becomes egg-white-like during ovulation)
➡️Ovulation predictor kits (detect luteinizing hormone surge)

🌙🌘Ways to confirm that ovulation happened …

➡️A rise in basal body temperature
➡️A rise in serum progesterone (or urinary PdG)

❤️Learning the Fertility Awareness Method is so helpful, and a service we offer!
❤️Some Tech that can also help track ovulation ..

🦷 Things I wish I knew before my first baby ➡️ dental and oral health can impact fertility !

🦷We all have probably heard that poor dental hygiene can cause heart disease….And did you know that up to 90% of all people will experience gingivitis at some point in their lives ?
➡️Well, newer research is indicating that it can also affect the uterine environment too!

🦷 Harmful bacteria in the mouth + gum disease creates systemic inflammation. These factors may negatively affect endometrial receptivity and embryo implantation. This means that it can become harder to conceive.

☑️Oral Hygiene Checklist:
✅Brush twice daily
✅Floss once or twice daily
✅See a dentist every 6 months
✅Avoid harsh alcohol-based mouth washes
✅Avoid mouth breathing (clear nasal passages and sinuses!)
✅Limit sugar and processed carbohydrates
✅Avoid harmful habits (smoking, limit alcohol)

🦷While this area of research is still emerging, it is so fascinating. This should be a part of everyone’s preconception check list!

⏳Contrary to popular belief, taking the pill does not preserve your fertility.

⏳It may pause ovulation while you’re on it, but it doesn’t “save up” your eggs or stop the natural decline of fertility with age.

✏️🖊️Things I wish I knew before my first baby ➡️Genetics & Epi-Genetics

🖊️We are born with the genes we are born with. Our DNA sequences cannot be changed.

✏️We are able to turn on and off gene expression with lifestyle and environmental exposures

❓How does this work with fertility and preconception?
✅ By improving and optimizing the following with positive lifestyle changes ….
➡️DNA methylation
➡️histone modification
➡️non-RNA coding
✅… we can shape the epigenome of the baby, support placental function, and optimize developmental programming in the fetus.

🤯This means we can essentially give our children the best that our genetics have to offer !

🚨This 100% applies to the male partner as well!! They, too, also give the baby 50% of their genetics.

🤝Team work makes the dream work.

⚠️Fertility struggles (or subfertility) can be thought of as a “check engine light” for your body.

⚠️This is because it can signal that something deeper is going awry with your overall health or biological systems — not just your reproductive system.

⚠️A few things that we may check are …
✅nutrient status
✅gut health and digestive capabilities
✅thyroid hormones
✅sex hormones
✅adrenal hormones
✅immune resiliency
✅metabolic issues (elevated glucose)
✅chronic inflammatory load
✅hidden infections or microbial imbalances

⚠️Some patients may only need minor adjustments , while others might require a comprehensive protocol.

⚠️Paying attention to this “check engine light” won’t just improve fertility potential …. It also reduces the risk of chronic medical conditions in the future

🤯Did you know..

🧬 Fertility isn’t just a women’s issue — men age too!

🧬After age 40, s***m quality declines (motility, morphology, DNA integrity).

🧬This age-related change can increase the risk of infertility, miscarriage, and genetic issues.

🧬Age matters on both sides. Men need preconception care too.

🥚Things I wish I knew before my first baby➡️ Melatonin is an antioxidant in follicular fluid that protects egg cells!

🥚This means that melatonin can actually protect egg cells from oxidative stress (damage).

🥚Please note that this is not a PSA for taking melatonin supplements without talking to your provider first. Dosage, duration, and how to take melatonin should be considered.

🥚While I do often prescribe melatonin, This post is actually a PSA to support your own natural melatonin production!

✅Get morning sunlight
✅Avoid screens 2 hours before bed
✅Go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time daily
✅Use the same sleep routine before bed every night
✅sleep in a cool, dark room
✅ 7.5-9 hours of sleep per night.

🥚If you are interested in testing your melatonin levels or if you are curious on how to use melatonin in your preconception plan, please reach out !
