This is a very helpful post on cycle syncing. I came into it naturally (which took a long time) and then was surprised to see that some women already knew it was a THING.
Thanks so much for taking the time to write this. I’ll be saving it to share with others.
This is such awesome material, so thorough and helpful! EVERY WOMAN should know this stuff! I didn’t learn about cervicale mucus/what ovulation really was until I was struggling with infertility at age 36. It’s a travesty that this info isn’t part of every health curriculum starting in junior high.
Thank you so much for reading! Yes, I also think it’s crazy how we don’t learn this much earlier. Hopefully that will change with generations to come, but we still have a lot of work to do! I’m sorry to hear about your infertility struggles and will keep you and your family in my prayers.
This is so insightful—it’s crazy how little we all seem to know about our bodies, including me! I’d be so interested to hear your thoughts on cycle syncing with PCOS (and suspected endo). I often wonder if I’m forever stuck in the Luteal phase as I don’t get periods for months to a year and then will bleed for 6 months, everyday. I know hormone fluctuations will be impacting me, and I love to cycle sync. But there’s no app on the market at the moment for women outside of the “normal” 28-day cycle.
Hey @Lottie Bisou! Thanks for reading this article. I’m so glad you found it helpful. I don’t have much experience with PCOS and endo, but something you could do to start is tracking your cervical mucus and your basal body temperature (BBT) every morning and see if you are even ovulating. If you haven’t heard of BBT, it’s essentially a way to confirm that you have ovulated (your body temperature rises after ovulation aka the luteal phase). If you took your temperature daily then you could see if you ovulate at all during the year and if the bleed you experience is at all a real period. Tempdrop is an amazing device you can use to take your BBT. I also recommend looking into Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler to learn more about BBT/cervical mucus charting.
You could also download a chart tracking app and start recording any symptoms like bloating, pain, energy levels, etc. just to see if anything correlates. I love the Read Your Body App.
Last, I would recommend finding a holistic practictioner/doctor who can work with you on an individual basis and get your cycles back to a more regular state.
