I spend a lot (a lot) of time talking about cervical mucus and basal body temperature as the fertile signs that can tell you the most about your fertility and ovulation. Did you know there is another sign that can also give you incredible insight into your fertile window? It’s one that I swear by whenever I’m a little confused about what might be happening in my cycle. It’s the position of your cervix, which changes significantly throughout your cycle and can really help you to troubleshoot if your mucus or BBT aren’t super clear. It’s not essential, but can be very helpful.  Here’s What We’re Talking About: The primary fertile signs – cervical mucus and BBTCervix position as a secondary fertile signHow to check cervix positionHow does the cervix actually change throughout the menstrual cycle?Tracking the changes in your cervix position ________________ Full show notes, including a transcript of this episode with all links and resources can be found HERE:DM Rachel on Instagram:@fertilityco  ________________ Support the showWhenever you're ready, here's a few ways I can help you!

Feel like you’re doing ALL OF THE THINGS when it comes to tracking your menstrual cycle and ovulation?BUT for some reason, there seems to just be that something missing that means things haven’t *quite* clicked into place yet.When it comes to tracking Basal Body Temperature (BBT), so many women seem to get bogged down in the specifics of daily temperatures and over-analysing the numbers instead of looking at the bigger picture – the overall temperature pattern throughout a cycle.In this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing the 3 temperature shifts you should be tracking every cycle and what they can tell you about ovulation, your next period and it may even reveal to you one of the earliest signs of pregnancy.  Here’s What We’re Talking About:What can your BBT tell you about your fertility?What are we actually looking at when tracking our body temperature?Your options for recording BBTKey Temperature Shift #1 – Confirming OvulationKey Temperature Shift #2 – Predicting Your PeriodKey Temperature Shift #3 – A Sign of ImplantationTemperature dipsWhy BBT can be unreliable ________________ Full show notes, including a transcript of this episode with all links and resources can be found HERE:DM Rachel on Instagram:@fertilityco________________This episode of the podcast The podcast is taking a break in 2024 while I'm on maternity leave, but there are still heaps of ways you can learn about your fertility and cycle!

Meet Danielle. She has worked as a nurse practitioner in the US for 10 years. She struggled with amenorrhea, infertility and was told she had PCOS. Being a medical practitioner, Danielle was incredibly frustrated that she “couldn’t fix herself” and was eventually diagnosed with hypothalamic amenorrhea. She conceived with IUI but tragically her pregnancy ended at 23 weeks. After this traumatic experience of going through labour but not bringing a baby home, she was determined to learn as much as she could to heal herself. She dove into functional medicine and went on to conceive 2 children naturally. This experience affected her so greatly, that she changed her job and moved into a more functional and integrative role as a nurse practitioner. Danielle now helps women to optimise their health so that they can have the best outcomes possible.Connect with Danielle:Instagram Website ________________ Full show notes can be found HERE:DM Rachel on Instagram @fertilitycoWANT TO SHARE YOUR STORY?If you’re keen to be a guest on the podcast and share your fertility journey in your own words, then please contact me!

I speak with women all the time who have said to me that their doctor won’t investigate potential issues with their fertility until they’ve been trying to conceive for 12 months with no success; that they need to have had more than 1 miscarriage to be referred to a specialist, to just stop stressing, give it time and it will happen! Even women who are experiencing unsuccessful IVF cycles are usually just booked in for the next one.  Women are not getting the support and encouragement they need to feel in control of their fertility. Sadly, women are not routinely taught about preconception care and daily factors that could be impacting their fertility. Many reproductive conditions, many issues with ovulation and your cycle, many of those traditional PMS symptoms associated with having a period that you dread every single month are all related to an imbalance between our hormones. And we can absolutely treat a hormone imbalance. Sometimes a few small changes are enough to have a big impact, sometimes you may need artificial hormones in one form or another to address the issue, sometimes it’s harder to treat, but the key is investigating what has caused the imbalance in order to correct it. In this episode we're talking all things hormone balance, the role of our key sex hormones and how to manage potential issues by first looking at your environment and your exposure to potential pollutants and contributors to hormone imbalance that you can address yourself.  Here’s What We’re Talking About:Hormone balance and the role of our key sex hormonesThe podcast is taking a break in 2024 while I'm on maternity leave, but there are still heaps of ways you can learn about your fertility and cycle!

For most of our lives, we have been told that getting pregnant is easy.It seems ridiculously unfair that we actively avoid getting pregnant for years and years, and then struggle when we are actually ready to conceive.More and more couples are turning to reproductive technology to assist with pregnancy. But this isn’t always necessary for many couples who use it, nor it is necessarily a guarantee of success. People tend to see this as a back-up option, but it’s only effective 25% of the time. 50% of couples who are referred for infertility treatment actually have nothing wrong, just their timing. Many women only need to change their diet and lifestyle habits for success without assistance. So, why aren’t we focusing our attention on those simple lifestyle changes that are free and that you can do for yourself right now to maximise your chances of conceiving? By truly understanding what’s happening with your body and making some really simple lifestyle changes, this will have an enormous impact on ovulation, your fertility and your chances of conceiving quickly and naturally.Here’s What We’re Talking About:Control - Why it’s so important to take the time to understand your menstrual cycle and your natural fertile signs, PLUS my 4 steps to identifying ovulation day in less than 4 minutes Balance - Environmental and lifestyle factors you may never have considered could be impacting your hormone balance and therefore your fertilityNourish - The key reasons why nutrition in the preconception stage is so importantWhy The podcast is taking a break in 2024 while I'm on maternity leave, but there are still heaps of ways you can learn about your fertility and cycle!
