    Luteal Phase and Progesterone- everything you need to know.

    Episode 5 of our Teaching To Conceive Series 💛 As part of this Series we are running a free fertility masterclass also called, Teaching To Conceive. Which offers 6 live webinars to dive into the information we discuss on the podcast in more detail. Each session also offers a live Q & A so you have time to speak to our team of experts. We start the 8th Oct and you can register ⁠⁠⁠⁠here.⁠⁠ Katy and I are talking all about your luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, and why it's so important for health and fertility. (I know we say that all the time!) But the luteal phase is when implantation occurs and we need good levels of progesterone to support this. Problems in the luteal phase are common. We discuss what they are and why they might be happening. Takeaways The luteal phase is the second part of the menstrual cycle, crucial for fertility. Progesterone is the dominant hormone in the luteal phase, essential for early pregnancy. A luteal phase shorter than 12 days can hinder implantation and fertility. Spotting before a period may indicate luteal phase issues. PMS symptoms can signal hormonal imbalances, particularly with progesterone. Basal body temperature (BBT) charts can help identify luteal phase problems. Thyroid health is vital for maintaining a healthy menstrual cycle. High stress levels can negatively impact progesterone production. Cycle monitoring offers a comprehensive view of menstrual health. Progesterone supplementation can be beneficial for women with luteal phase defects. 💛 To find out more about working with us you can book a free 15 minute ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discovery Call⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. 💛 You can work with us online or in our clinics in London and across UK.

Each session also offers a live Q & A so you have time to speak to our team of experts. We start the 8th Oct and you can register ⁠⁠⁠here.⁠⁠ This week we delve into the intricacies of ovulation, discussing its significance in the menstrual cycle, the fertility window, and the various signs that indicate ovulation. Takeaways Ovulation is often misunderstood and not well taught. The fertile window extends beyond the 12-24 hours of egg viability. Conception rates are only 20-30% even with perfect timing. Most contraception focuses on female fertility despite men being fertile daily. Understanding ovulation can help manage expectations around conception. Tracking ovulation can be done through various methods, including apps and temperature monitoring. Pain during ovulation is common but should be monitored for severity. Spotting during ovulation can occur but should be investigated if frequent. Lifestyle and medical factors can affect ovulation. Regular cycles without ovulation are more common than people realize.
