Living life With Laura so does it mean you have a irregular cycle because if you does my body like this and I’ve been trying for over 2 years but my doctor said I was good
I’ve been using Ovusense the last 2 cycles and it’s detected that I ovulate CD 16 - 17. I still have a 13-14 day luteal phase and 28-30 day cycle. But I have been diagnosed with PCO/PCOS last month. Should I be concerned?
I am a healthcare worker and I work on different shifts within the same month and even week. I imagine charting data will be skewed for me.... any advice?
@@wendybrown2189 hi, the tests indicate when you're about to ovulate. When the test line is darker than the control line, that's the strongest surge detected, which means ovulation will happen 12-24 hrs after. LH is the hormone that releases the egg for ovulation so using OPK's, tells you when you're about to ovulate.Hope this helps?
For anyone wondering about the real power of being too stressed and fertility issues, I’ve been trying for 15 months and have been a bit stessed at work. I’m a naturally anxious person anyway. As soon as lockdown started, I calmed, my acne boils started the clear and I got a positive. It was an early loss but it was the first time I’ve seen a line all this time so do everything you can to chill, I promise it’s so powerful

Currently 5 months pregnant and the cycle I conceived, I ovulated on day 17. Figured it wasn’t gonna be our month but was pleasantly surprised. Great video! Thank you, ma’am. Xo
AshBo Jankins Hey!! This is such a good vid isn’t it babes?! I was defo interested in this vid after I ovulated at day 20 that time!!!!! So weird!! Can’t believe your now 5 months !! So exciting babe xx❤️😘
@@FertilityHomeopath since I had an early miscarriage at 6 weeks I am having slight pain on left ovary side almost the whole month and trying to get pregnant but failed . The misscarriage happened in april and after that I am on my 4th periods right now. Can you please suggest why does my ovaries pain and I got pregnancy symptoms before every period which never had before the MC. And yes I get fertile discharge too but still not getting pregnant
I have a very regular 28 day cycle and just charted for the first time this month. I didn’t get a surge until CD 21...so I’m worried that will make it harder!
Hi Ingefleur, thank you for these incredibly helpful and concise videos. Can you please make a video on what "optimal" levels of certain important hormones are for pregnancy? Unfortunately, the standard range is incredibly broad for many hormones like TSH, prolactin, insulin, progesterone, estrogen, etc. and it is hard work with doctors who simply don't pay attention unless your levels are completely off the charts. Thank you so much!
Great info! I have non classical adrenal hyperplasia and always ovulated day 20, 21 or 22. After losing 60lbs with keto and a million supplements/herbs I am ovulating around day 16! Hoping it keeps improving!
Yes that completely makes sense as that would also bring up your cortisol. Great job on taking those measures!! It shows how much you can do yourself when you take control over your own health and fertility right? Good for you, what a huge difference from 20 to 16!
How did you find out that you have adrenal hyperplasia? I am wondering if I do as well. Thanks and it’s wonderful to hear how you have regulated yourself. Best wishes!
Thank you for this video. My husband and I are trying to get pregnant for 6 mos now but to no avail. Just realized how stressed I am at work! Got my thyroid hormones checked, and everything is normal. Hoping to have a baby soon. Your videos are helpful. ☺️
I usually ovulate day 25 or round about then. I have no underlying causes and apparently text book ovaries. I conceived my baby with ovulation on cycle day 26. Some females are just different I guess.
Hi Sarah. I average 42 days or so. I would love to have a shorter cycle or “typical” 28 day cycle. No idea as to why i ovulate so late. It just seems to be my normal xx
@@gemmahorn4579 I know nothing. But I wonder. If you have such a long cycle, then by extension couldn't that mean that your ovulation time isnt late at all? It only SEEMS late based the average 28-32 day cycle? Again just a random person chiming in lol.
Wow, this is really encouraging to read. I'm pretty sure I'm in the same situation as my blood work showed I hadn't ovulated by day 21 but felt potential ovulation pain a few days later, and my cycles are normally around the same length as yours. I hope I get the same outcome as you did *fingers crossed*
I realized that my cycle length is around 30-33 days and my ovulation days are around 17-20. Everything else is ok. I'm having my period every month. I don't have Pcos, hypothyroidism but I dont know about testosterone. I'm in Ttc 4 and still waiting. Any advice? When should I test for pregnancy in dpo?
I forgot to mention I do have PCOS all over both of my ovaries not just one but both an it’s not a little bit it’s a lot 😭an I have thyroid disorder recently I had just went to the doctor to have blood test they kept congratulating me and I got so excited because I thought I was pregnant they made me believe that I was and then they called me a few days later and tell me I wasn’t I had picked out a stroller and everything I really feel like something wrong with me bc I’ll be 29 March 11 almost 30 an don’t have a baby still 🥺😞😢 I’m so disappointed I don’t have a gallbladder I had a Cyst that busted an had to go into surgery I have very week immune system I have a bad back an a bad knee my body suck 😭I really would love a baby but I’m giving up I feel like I will never have one so I’m giving up 🥺😞I even went a hole month without bleeding an then I started bleeding very heavy I’m mean these blood clot are as big as a tennis ball 🎾 can u pls explain why they are so big it worries me that there that big I don’t know if that’s normal or not an what I should do 🥺
The ovaries may not release an egg during a particular month because there’s an inadequate level of certain hormones or due to an underlying medical condition. A lack of ovulation is called anovulation. Anovulatory cycles do not always mean that you’re approaching menopause. Occasional anovulation may also be found in young women in their 20s. Sometimes there are no signs you haven’t ovulated - or symptoms may be misleading (e.g. heavy bleeding due to progesterone insufficiency, a common symptom of anovulation). However, warning signs indicating an ovulatory problem may include: Irregular or absent menstrual cycles Shorter (35 days) Extremely light spotting or abnormal blood flow A drop and subsequent rise in body temperature around day 10-16 of your cycle Additional anovulation symptoms could be: Lack of fertile cervical mucus Low levels of progesterone Unreceptive uterus Sometimes, there may be a rise in your luteinizing hormone (LH), a hormone that stimulates the release of a mature egg from the ovary at ovulation, but ovulation may still not occur. If you notice any changes in your cycle or you experience any of the above-mentioned symptoms, talk to a gynaecologist or fertility doctor. They will arrange a few diagnostic tests to get a clear picture of your medical situation. These may include: Hormone blood test (progesterone, prolactin, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, oestradiol, anti-mullerian hormone) Antibodies blood test Ultrasound test Treatments for anovulatory cycles may include: Ovulation induction using fertility drugs, like: Clomiphene citrate Letrozole Gonadotropins Metformin Other medicines may also be used to normalise certain hormones. Surgery to correct certain conditions or obstructions of the reproductive system, such as: Ovarian drilling (PCOS) Bariatric surgery (severe obesity) IVF If the above treatments are not effective, the euroCARE IVF specialist will recommend an assisted reproductive procedure like in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). This treatment allows you to fertilise your (or your donor’s) eggs outside the body, thus completely eliminates the need for ovulation. Late ovulation is when your ovary releases an egg after day 21 of your menstrual cycle. If you have a 28-day cycle, you will likely ovulate 14 days after the first day of your last period, although the timing can vary. If your cycles last 35 days or longer, you probably ovulate at day 21 or later. Most women who have longer cycles also have irregular cycles, and they also may not ovulate at every cycle. Some people with late ovulation may have heavy bleeding during their period. Late ovulation can occur in almost any woman occasionally. Infrequent late ovulation is not typically a cause for concern. However, you should see a doctor if: Your cycles are shorter than 21 days apart or longer than 35 days apart Your period stops for 90 days or more Your periods suddenly become irregular You have heavy bleeding (you’re soaking through a tampon or pad every hour or so, for several hours) You have severe or abnormal pain during your period You’re unable to conceive after some time If you have an underlying condition like PCOS or hypothyroidism, treating it can help regulate ovulation. If no cause can be determined and you want to become pregnant, your doctor may prescribe medications that help regulate ovulation. They may include: Clomiphene Letrozole Human chorionic gonadotropins Additional tips to improve your menstrual and reproductive health include: Eating a healthy, balanced diet Getting regular exercise (in moderation!) Reducing stress (e.g. acupuncture, yoga, meditation) Quitting smoking Avoiding alcohol
Thanks, I am having problem of not getting me bleed, since I was sick and treated, then may period stops, I went to doctor once with my mum, he says about hormones, he give me medicine and told me not to seek much of it coz am not yet married. Am 33 of my age am somehow worried. But be4 I was sick was well with normal period of 28 days of length
Can you please share a video on Endometriosis and pregnancy? I find that this rarely shared and not enough information out there. For example, implantation for us may not to be the same as a woman without endo? Hope this is ok😊 thanks
Please let me know somthing bc I'm 28 almost 30 an haven had a baby an it's very stressful bc everyone around me has had one even family the kids I watch grow up has even had kids now an it hurts bc I really would like one someday 😢
Hi I'm enjoying watching your videos. I appreciate it, if you can make a video about high level of Testosterone and DHEA. Specially how can you reduce the high level of DHEA and also Testosterone naturally? (For women with NO PCOS: regular period and no insulin resistance. All other hormones are normal. Only high level of DHEA and very low AMH level. Thanks a lot!
Love this! So we can actually fix anovulatory cycles? My doctor said I have those but I’m not sure why. However I have regular periods like clock work.
i have pco not pcos. My hormone levels are fine, what is it that’s causing my long cycles if not high levels of testosterone? is it the cysts themselves?
Hi Fleur, thanks you for your videos, they are super helpful! My periods were highly regular 28-29 days but after this New Year I decided to make changes to my diet and give up caffeine, dairy and increase fiber intake. My menstrual cycle since then has become longer (33 days) . Is this normal after such a diet change? Thanks for your help!
I normally ovulate regularly cd 13-15 but this cycle is off. I can’t tell that I ovulated at all so I quit taking my temp because it was stressing me. I may have my thyroid checked to see if it’s hypo. I think it was just stress from work the last week.
This is a great vid thank you Fleur. I’ve started taking extra vitamin B6 and magnesium to regulate and balance my cycle. It’s not too bad but I’m 28/29 day cycle, and usually ovulate day 14/15 but 2 cycles ago I was day 20!!!!!!! Never happened before. I think it was stress! X
Wow!!! Good for you! That totally confirms stress YES, your adrenals must be so grateful! I'd throw in extra vit C too, like 2-3 grams a day, your adrenals will be soaring :) 💜
Hi we are having hard time conceiving. And lately I tried testing my ovulation and it turned out I am not ovulating at all but my period is regular. How is that even possible?
Hi Fleur, I just discovered your videos and really appreciate what simplicity you can bring to such complicated hormonal issues. I have heard you mention that our anterior pituitary gland can be "imbalanced." I stopped my birth control 1.5 years ago after 12 years of use. 1. Could this still cause an imbalance? 2. What measures can I take to improve this? Thank you, Kristina
@@ruth9194 I recently got diagnosed with PCOS without any testosterone/androgen abnormalities. It took a long time to get diagnosed and some of my health care providers put a question mark after the diagnosis. I got pregnant the first month with a fertility specialist with Femara and synthetic FSH & a trigger shot.
Is it possible to have ovulated on day 20th? My last period was on the Dec 5th and I was with my husband on the Dec 25th? It is possible to get pregnant on those dates? By the way I just had a baby boy in September
You must be reading my mind lol I had a low temp yesterday then an increase today but it wasn't that much of an increase ,my temps were 97.16- 97.52, then drop to 96.98 and next day was 97.61. Not sure if that's ovulation, today is CD 16. My OPKs are slightly dark. We're BDing every other day hopefully this cycle is it :) *Edit my temp rose to 97.89. so if it stays up for 3 days that means I ovulated right?
My periods regular.but I am not ovulating.i consulted gynic she gave injections for ovulation but there is no ovulation.can u plss help me how to ovulate any suggestions tips plssssss tell me
How do you keep making videos that are exactly what I need!? Haha! I’ve been charting the last two months since my miscarriage in March, and I’m noticing that while I do get a high temp spike indicating ovulation, my temps don’t stay high. they just start stair stepping down and they fall, and my luteal phase is only 10 days. I work nights (I was the one you answered in your video about working night shift!) so I’m sure my hormones are all out of balance :( I also suspect high prolactin because I never dried up, even though I haven’t nursed my son in over a year. I get insomnia at 3-4am, am very angry and irritable, no libido at all, and hardly any egg white CM. It’s a mess 😫
Thank you. Good video that supports my hypothyroid condition and ovulation theory. I would love to hear more on this topic. Now that I know that what can be done?
I think I usually ovulate around day 14, based on opks, and I usually start getting an estrogen surge around day 8 but this cycle I'm on day 13 and still no indication on the opk that ovulation is coming. I changed my diet about a month ago and have lost a little weight (2-3kg) and wonder if that might have something to do with it? I have only charted a few times but I have fairly regular cycles. I also bf a toddler but I know I have been ovulating prior to this cycle, so I don't think prolactin is the reason?
I had a blinking smileys for 7 days and the finally a solid smiley on February 27th (CD 21) but my LH strips were low but then March 9th-11th my LH strips were blazing positive (CDs 31-33) . Normally have cycles 33-35 days. Which do I trust?? 😔😔
Breanna Warren How long are your cycles? I’m assuming 40 or so? Mine are 30, and I was worrying, but successfully ovulated day 20! It’s later, but still could make a viable pregnancy! How else are you tracking? Just OPKs? CM? BBT?
Hi I would like to know more about metal toxicity. My husband had a daughter at his 20,s but now that he is 35 doesn’t have sperms, after working 7 years with metal work, Iam wondering if that is the reason why has no sperms I did something about it but iam no sure .. I would appreciate any information you could share .thanks
Mam i need to ask u dat i have pcod ...i been having period everymonth but the date faculate sumtimes 3 four days early and sumtime delay of 3 -4 days ....my last date was 28 jan den feb on 23 ....i did my opk is on 3 march ,it is was faint line on test line ...and on the 4th 5th and 6th my opk was positive with t test darker den control line ....so will i get pregnant
I’ve had an ectopic pregnancy on 3/2017. I’m still ttc. I have been ovulating on CD 19-22. With 35-40 day cycles. I always get positive OPK - not sure if I’m ovulating though. 😌 I don’t even know how to bbt either. Anyone else?
Simpliiloveable I’m no doctor. BBT is taken when u first awake in the morning while laying down. Before using the bathroom or doin anything. An it has to be a bbt thermometer. Sorry to hear about the 😔 news
I was ovulating late on CD 22. And my period late 3 days by today. We had protected sex, so I guess I'm not pregnant. Is late ovulation will delay your period? Thanks for your answering.
As others mentioned, what about early ovulation? It seems like late ovulation is more common. I've just started (admittedly lazily) charting but I have short 24-26 day cycles and so far it seems I ovulate around day 8, not even a full week after period. My cycles were a full week longer before quitting smoking. This is another thing that I can find zero info on, that I would love to hear you talk about... Or anyone talk about. Obviously smoking harms fertility, but just like stopping birth control takes a bit to bounce back, does quitting smoking mess with your hormones? Maybe it's just coincidence, age, irreversible damage in my case. 🙁
After more than a year of tracking my periods, seeking medical advice, having hormone tests done and properly starting to chart my temperature, I've noticed a pattern that I only ovulate every second month. My temps, tests and anecdotal notes point to an issue with my left ovary or fallopian tube (pain in the left ovary region, intermittent bleeding etc.) I was wondering if you've done a video on blocked fallopian tubes? Or, if you could explain some of the alternative or natural options available prior to seeking more invasive/investigative medical treatments? Thanks for sharing your fertility knowledge!
You should measure your temperature right after waking up before standing up. And I take my ovulation tests in the afternoon and don’t drink two hours before that. The package says you shouldn’t do it with the first pee of the day but that’s my test. Read what’s on yours.
Hello mam.. I am from nepal. I have an epotic pregnancy n my left tube is cut so can i gate pregnant naturally again or not? My period cycle is 27 to30 day plz mam can u help me
And what about ovulating late and short luteal phase? I noticed that my cycles are a bit irregular (varies between 26-34 days) but my luteal phase seems to turn around 10-11 days, what does it mean?? Can I still get pregnant naturally?
Hi. My last period was 23rd August and it's now 5th week and a day from my first day of period. 31 days cycle I'm delayed 5 days but ultrasound doesn't see gestational sac yet. Just thickened endometrium 15mm but my PT is still negative. So it may be that it's not yet my 5th week because my ovulation is late.
Please answer my question am worried tooo much i merried in november and we trying for baby for end of january my last periods on january 15 after that we trying for baby i cannot taking my periods i checked my pregnancy test is negative i gain weight i trying to loose but i cant my periods are not coming i checked again again two days ago i tried diene 35 for periods to regulate and ovulatr but it cause me swear nausea and vomiting i skip today and not taking pills i am worried what i do my periods are missing last three months and i didn't concieve pls answer my question due to corona i did not go to hospital
Firstly I would like to thank you very much for sharing with us your knowledge and insight. I’ve been charting my ovulation. Ovulated on the 4th of this month. My husband and I had sex on the 2nd and 3rd. I’ve also been taking pre natal vitamins for the past 2 months. Today is the 9/07/19 and I’m having a milky discharge (just like before ovulating), what does it mean? Thank you so much.
I got pregnant 8 years ago with my first born son the first month I took soy. I took it from days cd 3-7. I still have it written down on my chart from that month in my FF acct after I had been trying 7 months. I haven't taken again bc it supposedly increases your chances of having a boy and i already have two lovely sons now and would love a daughter last.
I think as long as below the high 20s you are ok. Mine are in the 60s and i have tender breast and need a mri on my head to make sure no tumor on my pitutary gland
I've been battling infertility for 2 1/2 years and had a short luteal phase. I got serious with taking my supplements including taking myo-inositol and d-chiroinositol at a 40:1 ratio and after about 3 months my luteal went from 9 to 11 days so I'm very happy with that.
Did you read a book that helped you? Ive been taking the supplements from the book it starts with the egg. Im wondering if Im missing out on something because I dont know what those thing you mentioned are. Hopefully you see this as im just noticing this is from 3 years ago. I hope you got your baby
Thanks for the video. Just came off birth control a little over 2 cycles ago and have ovulated day 20 and 22 with my luteal phase being 12 days long. Does the obgyn check for these variables in hormone levels such as fsh and how do we get back in balance?
Yes , please do a video on ovulating early. I seem to be ovulating around day 11 or 12 but sometimes I do make it to day 14. I am 39. My TH and AMH was tested recently and everything is normal for my age. Whatever that means. Last year my FSH was tested and they said it was normal no where near Menopause but to me it was too low to get pregnant. It has been a year TTC. :(
I have high AMH but don't have PCO/S. I'm told my progesterone levels are great. I used to have A LOT of egg white CM. About 4 months ago I had a weird period (spotting leading up and then very heavy with lots of blood clots), since then my CM has dwindled to the point I've had no egg white discharge at all the past two months (quite dry) and have started ovulating later in my cycle. I've been told I have a heavy overgrowth of Candida (although I believe I've had this for years) that I'm now trying to heal from (would love a video on this). Could this be the cause of lack of CM and late ovulation?
What does it mean when a test line shows way before control line. I been taking ovulation test everyday after my period and i was 2 days late on ovulating and today when i been taking the ovulation test, the test line would show up way before the control line this is the first time it has ever happened. Does anyone know what this means
Hi hi, I'm not sure if u ovulated this moth but I'm 3 days late with my period. Also my cycles have been changing. February to May 29days then May to June 34 days. Today is day 33 and still no period. My period has been late almost every month now. I have endo though so irregular periods is a usual thing buuutt.....ive been going through bodily changes. Last month my nipples were sore for nearly 3 weeks and this time I have huge boobs and no period symptoms. Not sure what's going on. Sigh. Had many false hope pregnancies and now that I'm going to be 39 I feel like giving up.
I feel you, I'm 39 on day 40.. it's been years of trying now ..we are trying more whole foods and breathing exercises to slow down.. I don't know if stress related , inflammation, androgens, my sweet tooth, etc. Lol .. Good Luck Lady ♥
Can you do a video about reason 2? Low FSH and how it can be fixed/cured. Because I’ve been on and off with birth control and my last birth control method was the depo shot. However, it’s been a year and I’ve been taking prenatal since last October 2018. Is it true that low LH is a result in second ovarian failure?
Is it possible to have slightly higher testosterone just because?? Also in charting should we be counting day 1 as when the period begins or day 1 when temps drop down? .... my temperature doesn't go down until the end of my period. Why?! Thanks Inge.... I love you, you've brought so much peace of mind in our journey.
Absolutely! Because our hormone system is 1 system and 1 block that's off will have an effect on the rest. Although high testosterone typically goes with the PCOS or hyperthyroidism while the rest could all be part of hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue or synthetic hormone use.
Hi First off I want to say thank you. I subscribed to your channel because i found you videos very helpful and very well educated on what i think may be your profession, well to jump right in I am Mera and I was diagnosed with sickle cell as an infant, i recently went through chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant to cure me of my sickle cell anemia, about 5 almost 6 years go lets say in 2015, and idk if this is outside of your profession or no offence knowledge in this area but since i had that traumatic experience take a toll on my body , i was informed that i had no eggs and i also was not able to have a menstrual cycle on my own without birth controlon and off for 4 years straight, I believe in the beginning of 2019 is when my periods started to try and re-regulate itself every month not to mention i had stopped the birth control 5 months before my periods started to kick in on its own, and i don't know but sometimes my cycles last 5 days to 6, before my transplant my period only lasted for 3-4 days max, and for the past year I've been TTC with no luck, I have seen some of your videos and not sure if those are my issues, but I have also seen that you shared ways to help your egg count, but my question to you is if you are having cycles regularly does that mean you may still be maturing or producing eggs, maybe the sonogram wasn't 100% accurate and there may still be eggs hanging on inside my ovaries? Thank You in advance.
Both my boys from clomid cycles were day 19 ovulation previous due to Pcos I wasn’t ovulating.. The last 3 cycles my opks have been positive day 21 and I had had periods have been day 34.. I’m hoping it means this cycle will be 34 as well because I’ve never had regular periods, I quit my job in October so less stress, and have started eating healthier, my fingers are crossed for a natural baby (I know I ovulated on day 19 with both boys due to having scans and blood tests to confirm ovulation)
When I had my first blood test, I was told that for at least that month I didn't ovulate, I recently had another blood test, but I haven't gotten the results. I did the strips test this month and I did ovulate on day 21 when the stripe was the darkest. I also did an HSG and my left tube is blocked, so a lot is going on with me.
According to my charting apps (Ovia and Fertility Friend), i normally ovulate around CD 11 and 12. My period usually occurs around CD 24 or 25. Is this happening because I'm older (I'm 43 years old)? I also have been diagnosed with uterine fibroids and am trying to shrink them naturally using food, herbs, and supplements. This month, I also started checking my CM, and have gotten no EWCM. Is there something else that I can do? Can you also discuss early ovulation? Thanks!
Before my miscarriage my cycle was 33 days but since after my miscarriage it has suddenly jumped to 38-40 days. I don't understand why and I am also unable to get pregnant again.
my cycle is usually about 31 days and i ovulate on day 18 and usually start getting cramps a week before my period is due. ive been trying to get pregnant for about 18 months with no luck. do you think i can get pregnant naturally
Hi Fluer, thank you for your video it’s very informative. Can I please ask, I drink Turmeric latte often because it has good anti inflammatory properties. Will take cause late ovulation?
Girls not everything is good for everybody. Stop drinking tumernic for month and see if sth will change. I am study TCM and I know that tumernic is good for some people and for others is not good. From TCM point of view late ovulation mean that you have Yin and Yand imbalance and TCM can help for that.
