Episode notes
Learn To Track Ovulation
- Track your menstrual cycle using basal body temperature, cervical mucus, or urinary hormone tests to know when you actually ovulate.
- Use this baseline to spot shifts like a short luteal phase and get evaluated early by a clinician.
Inflammation Hijacks Fertility
- Chronic inflammation harms egg metabolic health and overall fertility by disrupting hormone signaling.
- Reduce inflammatory burden through gut health, sleep, stress management, and limiting chemical exposures.
Get AMH If You Want Reproductive Data
- Consider checking AMH earlier if you want reproductive planning data, despite ACOG guidance against routine screening.
- Use results to make proactive choices like freezing eggs, changing timelines, or focusing on inflammation reduction.
