    Ep. 187: Stuck in frustration about women's health or your fertility journey? You may be in the learning zone.

    Women's health can cause a lot of frustration.  Whether you're displeased with your birth control, upset that you haven't figured out the cause of your symptoms, or you're in the midst of learning a new fertility awareness method, it can be tough.  Today's episode is about these frustrations and how we can use them to our advantage to make progress, what it takes, and how to make it easier along the way.  These frustrations aren't just annoyances, they can help us get to a better place in our own women's healthcare--if we know how to make the most of them.  NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences.  Other episodes you might enjoy: Ep. 2: BASICS - Fertility Method of Choice: Creighton Ep. 59: Can I really use Creighton myself??

    Ep. 185: Getting the Most out of Your Creighton FABM Chart at the Doctor's Office, with Laura Ducote

    Did you know your cycle charting or cycle tracking can actually help your OBGYN? Cycle charting (through a formal fertility awareness based method) not only helps you identify your window of fertility when you're trying to get pregnant (or avoid pregnancy), but some can also highlight reproductive health issues. Your chart can reveal signs and concerns that help your OBGYN narrow down how to investigate, diagnose, and treat these underlying health issues. In today's episode, we talk with Nurse Practitioner, Laura Ducote, who's trained in NaProTechnology (a restorative reproductive medicine approach) to hear how to make your cycle charting as effective as possible in the exam room. Whether you're charting with the Creighton Model System, SymptoThermal, or another method, this episode is for you! NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences, but we want to make listeners aware that pregnancy loss is briefly mentioned. BIO: Laura Ducote is a Family Nurse Practitioner with training in NaProTechnology and is currently a FertilityCare Practitioner at Woven Natural Fertility Care.  OTHER HELPFUL EPISODES:  Ep. 106: Creighton vs. NaProTechnology - What are they?

    Ep. 182: Why are women still complaining about birth control??

    Why do women seem to be so fed up with birth control? I mean, they should just be grateful not to be pregnant, right? Wrong. Recently, a client sent me an article where researchers question the experience of women on birth control and I just had to respond. Maybe your own side effects and experiences have been doubted? Maybe you've been told it's all in your head? Well, that is unacceptable and today's episode dives into why. In this episode we talk about:  Birth control aspects that women most often complain aboutWhat some medical professionals say about birth control Misinformation about birth control and natural birth control optionsFemale empowerment and informed decision making What the surge of fertility awareness methods suggests about womenThe power of the female community NOTE: This episode may not be appropriate for all audiences due to references to libido, condoms, etc.  Resources:  Referenced NPR articleRestorative Reproductive Medicine AcademyBegin your own confident fertility awareness journeySubstack article: Yes, why DO women keep saying birth control has side effects? Research:  https://www.bmj.com/content/388/bmj-2024-082801.longhttps://khn.org/news/large-danish-study-links-contraceptive-use-to-risk-of-depression/https://naturalwomanhood.org/new-shocking-reasons-hormonal-contraceptives-tank-womens-sex-drive/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S001078242200213X#:~:text=The%20clinical%20trial%20used%20to,peak%20mucus%20as%20a%20surrogate.
