A couple of weeks after one of my miscarriages, I called my doctor about some intense stomach pain, and she asked me a simple question: "Are you ovulating?" I had no idea. I couldn't even tell you what ovulation was, let alone whether it was happening in my body.

That phone call started me down the path that led to everything I teach today. In this episode, I walk you through the ovulation cycle the way I teach it inside Fertility Framework: the four main hormones, what a healthy ovulatory and luteal phase look like, the three things conception actually requires, and how long I recommend charting after a loss before trying again. And we anchor it all in Psalm 139:14, because you are fearfully and wonderfully made, even in the most broken season.

Episode Highlights:

  • The phone call that made me realize I didn't know what ovulation was
  • Psalm 139:14 and holding onto your God-given design in a hard season
  • Why we call it the ovulation cycle, not the menstrual cycle
  • FSH, estrogen, LH, and progesterone: how four hormones work together to release an egg
  • The corpus luteum, and why progesterone is literally "pro-gestation"
  • What healthy cervical mucus and a healthy luteal phase look like
  • Good sperm, good egg, good mucus: the three keys to conception
  • How many cycles I recommend charting after a miscarriage before trying again
