FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How can charting my cycle support me in conceiving?

Charting supports you to pinpoint your fertile window despite the (very common, sometimes normal) fluctuations that occur cycle-to-cycle. It aids in timing intercourse or insemination accurately. It can also identify underlying health issues that can be addressed before a year (or longer) of trying to conceive goes by, and it can pave the way to overcoming fertility challenges.

Charters can apply body literacy gained from monitoring their cycles to their reproductive health decision-making, which is useful when navigating the fertility healthcare landscape and assembling a team of providers.

I've been TTC (trying to conceive) for over a year. Is charting still worth starting?

Charting can shine a light on areas of reproductive health that may have been overlooked previously, and aid you in identifying not only when ovulation is taking place, but whether or not it's optimal. We can determine if your reproductive hormones are primed for pregnancy. As part of our work together, we can also introduce daily, at-home hormone testing to closely and accurately assess your hormone levels.

If you've made diet, lifestyle, or supplement changes since starting your preconception journey, then charting can reveal whether or not those changes are working for your goals. Your menstrual cycle is a barometer of your overall health.

Charting can also provide you with more clarity when faced with the options of continuing to try naturally, introducing medicalized cycling, or exploring assisted reproductive technologies like IUI or IVF.

I highly recommend scheduling a free consultation to chat, and we can go from there.

I have female anatomy. How many days am I fertile each cycle, and what day is ovulation?

If you're ovulating, then you're fertile up to 6 days per cycle. Sperm can stay alive in the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days, and upon ovulation, the egg lives up to 24 hours. When charting, the fertile phase is extended to include the days right after evidence of ovulation.

Data from charting adds up multiple biomarkers to identify and confirm ovulation. Over time, patterns may emerge that can give you an idea of when in your cycle ovulation is most likely to occur, and why it may shift to be earlier or later than expected. Most apps get it wrong, but you can get it right every time.
