And as for the every other day thing, that definitely works: we'd been trying to get our timing right & we did it every other day over the course of 6 days, centered around two weeks out from my period (which is what my doctor said when I asked for advice about timing) and it worked the first time we did it that way! I'm not saying it'll work for *everyone*, especially not the very first time, we clearly were lucky. I'm just saying that that method can be successful.

I spotted in the first 3 months of each of my pregnancies and I really appreciated my doctors science-backed brutal honesty. I asked if I should immediately slow down or even go on bed rest? The first thing he did was take a look with a Transvaginal ultrasound where he found everything progressing normally and then told me that this early in the pregnancy I’d miscarry whether I standing or sitting, so no. Don’t let it consume you, if it stays light spotting just try to live your life, only if it got heavier should I call him and go to an ER. And I put my trust in him, being he is the expert, and so I did what he said and my pregnancies continued both times.

I learned what medications I could and could not take and when. Was shocked when my doctor said I should be taking pre-natal vitamins already. Also, she scheduled several tests for me. These included my immunity levels to chicken pox, measles, mumps, and rubella. Apparently your immunity can dip and she wanted to make sure if I needed to be vaccinated again, I could be before pregnancy.

Question for follow-up videos: if you have been on birth control since adolescence, how will that impact your fertility by the age of 25 to 30?

@jalapeno1119 2 года назад

My gyno said it wouldn't affect anything

@Minale__ 2 года назад

As far as I know (not a specialist, just someone who was curious about it at some point) the birth control itself should have no effect - regardless of how long you take it. However, birth control may be masking other problems, which may go undetected until you get off birth control and then have an impact when you attempt to get pregnant. PCOS is a pretty common example - about 1 in 4 or 5 women have PCOS to varying degrees and may show no symptoms at a younger age, especially when they are slimmer. Symptoms tend to worsen when we gain weight, which tends to happen past our teenage years. Many hormonal birth control methods also lessen the symptoms of PCOS (and are thus often prescribed for specifically that), which may then become increasingly apparent once birth control is gone. People with PCOS tend to have longer cycles, fewer ovulation periods, and just overall a bunch of issues that can make getting pregnant more challenging. Basically, what I learned is that as long as you keep getting annual OBGYN checkups (as recommended on birth control) and keep an eye on your family's health history, e.g. history of PCOS and other pregnancy-affecting issues, which your doctor can check you for (like perform an ultrasound check on your ovaries to check for cysts - which most women have, for various reasons, most being absolutely harmless) - you should be fine.

@siliconstitches 3 года назад

At [14:10] they talk about "You can't get pregnant right after stopping birth control" and she mentions that when you remove your IUD you can start working on getting pregnant the following month, but I feel like she only mentions this about the hormonal IUDs, and not the copper one (Paragard). I had my Paragard taken out Feb 27, 2020, I was ovulating on March 13-14, and I was testing positive on my pregnancy test March 31. You can work on getting pregnant after removing your copper IUD. Always ask your healthcare provider if you have questions about your personal birth control choice! :)

I was thought that after ovulation it takes 2 weeks till you have your menstruation. It has to do with the time it takes for the uterus linings coming off (and start the menstruation). 7 days is quite a short time to get from "there is no fertilized egg nesting in the linings" to the actual menstruation.... maybe you are feeling PMS 🤷🏼‍♀️.

Key to much of this is to talk to your specialist and/or doctor.

We got help starting before the first pregnancy and now thanks to the help we've received we not only got pregnant the first time, but we're pregnant again. The only way to know if there is or isn't hope for you and/or your partner's fertility is to go find out about your body from a specialist and find out what you're options are. Videos like this can be helpful, but self diagnosis through the Internet usually isn't.

technically you're right, but it is not possible to "know" the length beforehand. You can only track if your ovulation already happened (temperature and cervical mucus) and after that you can't get pregnant until the next period.

@veronicav575 2 года назад

Yes. I also wish they had covered more. There’s more to it than “your cycle is this long, so you ovulate on this day”. It’s not that simple. That’s making the assumption that the woman’s follicular phase (the time between ovulation and the next period) is 14 days, when it isn’t always, depending on health status. Mine is only 9 days (which means I will lose a pregnancy if I achieve it). So if my cycle is 28 days, I actually ovulate on day 20. My cycles are all over the place though. I only know how long my phase is because I use NFP.

I think the simplest answer would be instead of trying to figure out when you ovulate is just to be on birth control and give it time to work (abstain from sex till birth control is effective)🤷‍♀️ Trying to pinpoint ovulation is obviously a lot more complicated than just being diligent and taking BC(and taking it correctly)

3:45 - "Stress Causes Pregnancy Loss" I had a Miscarriage/Early Pregnancy Loss (This being the first time I heard the term EPL). I still wonder if me trying to lose weight and get back in shape at the same time I was trying to conceive (TTC) is what caused my EPL at roughly 4-6 weeks gestation. When I do this, I go hard on the GNC workout products, push myself to walk/run faster for longer periods of time and longer workout sessions, and restrict my diet to very few breads, 2 meals a day, and eating only the healthiest of meals (some phases skipping meals or eating very little food at meal times). I was in the middle of this when I found out I was pregnant then stopped. I fell on ice once and a few days later I started spotting. I wonder if any combination of falling, my "get back in shape" routine, or me not immediately going to the OBGYN at the first signs of bleeding caused EPL. I very much wonder if I went in (my very first appointment with a new OBGYN office was 3 weeks out), my baby could have been saved. It's hard not to blame myself for that. The caring medic at the ER helped me process short term. My caring sister in law also helped bring peace ("Only God can give life so only God can take it away." - She's experienced several miscarriages due to something wrong with her uterus. She got treatment and is now a healthy mother of three.) The doctors here help me process that experience. We also have a rainbow baby who was conceived 2 months after the EPL and she's now a healthy 3 month old as of this post. Thanks for debunking these myths. I'll still analyze and wonder what part my (in)actions may have caused it but being told this by random strangers helps.

@Christina-xc7on Год назад

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm just another internet stranger but EPLs are so so common that early on, they can happen to anyone, in any circumstances, at any activity level. I don't think the doctor could have done anything once the spotting started either. You are absolutely not to blame, sometimes these things just happen and it can make it easier and harder to know there was no rhyme or reason to it.

How to find a specialist? You can ask your PCP or OBGYN for a referral to a fertility specialist called a “Reproductive Endocrinologist” aka an “REI”. Note: they are not just regular endocrinologists, but specialize in fertility & the hormones that affect it. My OBGYN referred me to an infertility center & I was seen by a reproductive endocrinologist. She did a Transvaginal ultrasound, bloodwork (such as AMH, thyroid panel, prolactin, free testosterone levels, DHEA, etc) asked family history & we discovered the cause of my infertility. Good luck on your journey & feel free to message if you have additional questions. 👍🏽

Where do you live? I live in MI and have a great one I can refer you to. I would recommend going to your primary care doctor (or any doctor you normally see for your yearly checkups, which I hope you do) and have him/her refer you to an OBGYN. You will normally start there. I hope you find help!

Curious does the taking of Plan B once or multiple times in a short period of time have a long term or short term effect on the ovaries or female reproductive system?

@pigpjs 2 года назад

Anecdotally, my friend was in an abusive relationship when she was 18. Plan B was her only form of birth control for a variety of reasons related to the abuse. She got pregnant in her 30s without issue.

@clau9516 2 года назад

Plan B has a high concentration of hormones, sort of like taking several birth control pills at once. Not sure if long term effects, but short term it could affect your menstrual cycle and have other side effects, especially if taking them multiple times in a short period.

@EternalSunshine4570 3 года назад

My period always skips a month so I have about a 50 day cycle. I was on medication for a month bc a doctor told me my prolactin hormone was very high. And while I was on that medication for a month my cycle was shorter. But I couldn't afford the refills so I stopped taking it and they went back to skipping a month. Is having a 50 day cycle considered abnormal even thought it still comes and goes like normal? I'm not a particularly heavy or light bleeder and it lasts for 5 days. Cramps have gotten better with age. And I do notice that I ovulate and have discharge. Should I be worried about being infertile?

@APEXMACHCORPORATION 2 года назад

If what you doctor prescribed improved your periods to 1 month, it means the prolactin hormone is responsible, Better to consult doctor before stopping meds., ask. For. Generic / cheaper alternatives from. Reputed brands. Will work, also 50 days period won't prevent pregnancy (if your eggs are ovulating normally ) but it's bad to have over 30.days periods, as your cycle maintains the body by flushing the materials over 30 days cycle, but better consult your doc. For anything as this should not be serious in future.

@truehappiness4U 2 года назад

You have to understand why period exists first. Learn biology of period.

@APEXMACHCORPORATION 2 года назад

Normally upto 45 days period is considered max ok, but I would suggest try yoga (for periods) from 30 days, it might happen early by 35 - 40 days with yoga hopefully. Also do consult your gyanec. For generic medics (if money is issue).Also do follicle test to check your ovulation cycle & if you can have pregnancy. (Ask your gyanec. Doc.)

@nikitatavernitilitvynova 2 года назад

About the 35 year mark. It's plain stupid. My mom had me at age 30 and I'm a mess. I had already something like 5 surgeries. 3 in my first three years of life and two in my teenage years for flat feet. And these surgeries were there to treat physical conditions from birth. Like reflux: not classic easy to treat reflux. I couldn't eat properly, I was getting that reflux into my lungs and they found out at the hospital my esophagus was abnormally large and that was the issue. First surgery didn't go well, had to a second one. Then I got hepatitis from the medical staff performing a blood test in my leg. Which led to me having gallbladder stones because of the medication I was on. And I still have issues. Like my knees aren't straight. I have pectus excavatum and I've been skinny since birth. And my mom was 30. Then my brother was born when mom was 27 and he's the depiction of a healthy man. No issues really. So 35 or not these things can happen earlier or later. It depends a lot in genetics.

Kinda surprised how a video about fertility with a reproductive endocrinologist comes up & not one question was related to PCOS. Considering that 70% of infertility related issues that make it to a fertility center from women are due to PCOS. At least the mention of it to spread awareness would have helped spread awareness.

@lyssadobbins7209 Год назад

Thank you for the information but as a woman (not “person with uterus, “person who menstruates”, etc) I am so tired of all of this new, nonsensical and non-scientific language. As a woman who’s trying to conceive, every article and video I click on whilst trying to learn about my body and fertility is using this ridiculous dystopian language and it needs to stop. It makes me very distrustful of medical professionals and the medical community as a whole. They are completely captured by this unscientific ideology.
