How to Help Ovarian Cysts Naturally and Safely with Herbs and Supplements…

Hethir Rodriguez - Certified Herbalist and Nutritionist
July 16, 2021

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled growths in a woman’s ovaries. The development of an ovarian cyst/s may happen in just one or both of the ovaries. Usually ovarian cysts are harmless and will go away on their own, but sometimes ovarian cysts can become so large that they rupture, or cause damage to the ovary. In this article we will be discussing the different types of ovarian cysts, what causes them to occur, medical options for ovarian cyst treatment, and natural therapies to support normal ovarian health such as supplements, such as progesterone cream and DIM, and herbs, such as maca, and vitex.

Very large ovarian cysts can cause displacement of the reproductive organs. Damage from a ruptured ovarian cyst may cause scar tissue build-up, and/or the formation of adhesions, attaching the ovary to other parts of the internal body.

Ovarian cysts are most common in women of childbearing years, but can rarely develop in postmenopausal women. A woman’s ovaries are about the size and shape of an almond. It is amazing that something so small and delicate can hold thousands of eggs at birth. It is also quite amazing that something so small can develop a cyst. Thankfully, there are natural remedies that can help the body to rid itself of the cysts naturally, without surgery.

Types of Ovarian Cysts

Functional Ovarian CystsA woman’s ovaries contain thousands of follicles that house immature eggs (ova). During the menstrual cycle each month, as ovulation nears, a select number of follicles are signaled to grow (mature) for ovulation. An ovarian cyst that forms due to a malfunction in follicle maturation is known as a functional cyst. There are two types of functional cysts:

Follicular cyst: This happens when the follicle fails to rupture and release the egg at ovulation; instead it continues to grow, forming a cyst.

Corpus Luteum cyst: After ovulation, once the egg is released, the follicle changes to what is called the corpus luteum. The development of a corpus luteum cyst happens when the opening in the follicle where the egg was released seals off and then causes the corpus luteum to accumulate fluid and grow into a cyst.

Other Types of Ovarian Cysts
There are other types of cysts that form on the ovaries, but they are not related to the menstrual cycle.

Dermoid cyst: These cysts are considered complex and develop from cells that produce human eggs. Because of this, these types of cyst may contain hair, teeth, or skin. They are rarely cancerous.

Cystadenomas: This type of cyst develops from ovarian tissue and is filled with liquid or mucus.

Endometriomas: This type of cyst forms when displaced endometrial cells attach to the ovary and form a growth (endometriosis). This type of ovarian cyst is commonly called a chocolate cyst.

The above 3 types of ovarian cysts may cause damage to the ovary, including twisting, scar tissue and adhesion formation. Both dermoid cysts and cystadenomas may cause the ovary to become very large and displaced. These types of cysts are considered more complex and usually do not respond well to natural therapies. It is best to work with your doctor regarding these types of cysts.

Polycystic ovaries: A polycystic ovary develops many small cysts in a row on the surface of the ovary, which looks like a strand of pearls. Polycystic ovaries are associated with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). In the case of polycystic ovaries, the ovaries may become enlarged, typically twice the size of normal ovaries. PCOS is fast becoming a leading endocrine disorder among women. Not all women diagnosed with PCOS have ovaries that have these types of cysts.

What Causes Ovarian Cysts?

  • Irregular menstrual cycles
  • Hormonal imbalance
  • Hypothyroidism
  • Cigarette smoking
  • Early menstruation (11 years or younger)
  • BMI above 30
  • Infertility treatment with gonadotropins has been found to cause multiple large ovarian cysts in some women
  • Use of Clomiphene (Clomid, Serophene) has been shown to increase the risk for development of Corpus Luteum cysts
  • Use of Tamoxifen for breast cancer

Signs and Symptoms of Ovarian Cysts

Most women that have ovarian cysts don’t even know they have them; typically, there are no signs or symptoms. Most ovarian cysts are discovered during a routine physical exam. The larger a cyst is, the more likely it is to cause symptoms. Symptoms may be:

  • Pelvic pain, usually on the side where the cyst is present. Pain may be sharp, sudden or come and go throughout the cycle
  • Irregular menstrual cycles
  • Anovulatory cycles may be a sign of a follicular cyst; charting your cycle can help you to determine if you are having anovulatory cycles
  • Pelvic pain after intercourse or strenuous exercise
  • Nausea and vomiting, this usually happens after a cyst ruptures
  • Vaginal pain with spotty mid-cycle bleeding
  • Pressure and/or abdominal bloating; may be noticeable on one side or the other
  • Pain or pressure in the abdomen when urinating or having a bowel movement
  • Infertility

Note: See a doctor immediately if you have excruciating pain, nausea, vomiting and/or bleeding from the vagina during any point in your cycle.

How are Ovarian Cysts Diagnosed?

If you suspect you have an ovarian cyst, your doctor can help direct you to the best type of diagnostic testing for your needs. Here are some tests your doctor may perform:

  • Transvaginal ultrasound is a vaginal ultrasound probe inserted into the vagina. This type of ultrasound has been found to produce a better image of ovarian cysts than external ultrasound through the abdominal wall.
  • Laparoscopic surgery may be performed to determine the type of cyst and to take a biopsy.
  • CT or MRI may be used if there is further concern.
  • Serum CA-125 assay is a blood test to determine if the cyst is cancerous. This test is not always accurate because elevated levels of CA-125 may also signal the presence of uterine fibroids, adenomyosis or endometriosis.

Medical Options for Ovarian Cyst Treatment

The number one medical treatment for functional ovarian cysts is to prescribe birth control pills. This prevents ovulation; therefore the formation of functional ovarian cysts cannot happen. Use of the birth control pill presents a problem though; one, it prevents pregnancy, and two, it may cause long-term hormonal imbalance, and three, it does not solve the root of the problem.

In the Cochrane Database Syst Rev., a 2011 review of eight randomized controlled trials from four countries, 686 women, aiming to determine the effectiveness of oral contraceptives on functional ovarian cysts, conclude that “Treatment with combined oral contraceptives did not hasten resolution of functional ovarian cysts in any trial. This held true for cysts that occurred spontaneously as well as those that developed after ovulation induction. Most cysts resolved without treatment within a few cycles; persistent cysts tended to be pathological (e.g., endometrioma or para-ovarian cyst) and not physiological.”

If an ovarian cyst becomes too large, is considered to be at a higher risk for rupture, is a complex cyst, has twisted or has become attached to other parts of the internal body, a doctor may choose to remove it surgically. Your doctor will be able to help you to determine your best options.

How Natural Therapies May Help with Ovarian Cysts

There are natural options that are very effective for managing functional ovarian cysts. We like to approach it at two different levels – clearing out and prevention. In this guide you will learn how to clear out excess estrogens and cysts while working to prevent future ones from being created. This therapy usually has results in 3 months, but should only be done prior to trying to conceive.

The Benefits of Natural Therapies for Ovarian Cysts:

  • Reduces excess estrogens
  • Promotes hormonal balance
  • Reduces cyst size and growth
  • Least invasive
  • Very effective
  • No side effects

How to Help Ovarian Cysts Naturally…

Step One: Reduce Estrogen

Excess estrogen is one of the most common types of hormonal imbalance, which can cause the disruption of ovulation. One of the best ways to rid the body of excess estrogens is to stop exposing yourself to xenohormones and to start taking a supplement called DIM (diindolylmethane).

Avoid exposure to estrogens and xenoestrogens

  • Stop eating soy foods
  • Eat only organic meats and dairy
  • Do not microwave foods in plastic
  • Stop drinking water from plastic bottles
  • Avoid mineral oil and parabens in skin care products
  • Use natural detergents

Supplement with DIM
DIM helps to clear the body of these excess estrogens, aiding in hormonal balance and reducing the promotion of ovarian cyst growth. DIM should be taken daily for at least three months along with lifestyle changes which include avoiding xenoestrogens found in products, foods and the environment.

  • How to avoid chemicals that mimic hormones and where to find them
  • Expert advice to support hormonal health

Step Two: Increase Progesterone and Balance Hormones

Natural Progesterone
When there is excess estrogen in the body, there is usually also a progesterone deficiency. Balancing your estrogen and progesterone levels by using natural progesterone cream will help reduce the ovarian cysts and lessen the chance of them occurring in the future. Use of natural progesterone cream helps to increase progesterone levels.

Dr. John Lee believed natural progesterone to be one of the best treatments for ovarian cysts. One of the ways he used natural progesterone to eliminate ovarian cysts was by having his patients apply natural progesterone from days 10-26 of the cycle. This “tricks” the body into thinking it is pregnant which suppresses ovulation. If ovulation doesn’t occur, functional ovarian cysts cannot form.

Note: This is a short-term treatment that is best done in conjunction with the other supportive supplements. The above natural progesterone protocol is intended to help the body eliminate the ovarian cysts and prevent the formation of new ones, so that in a few months you can begin trying to conceive. Remember, should you choose to follow Dr. Lee’s natural progesterone protocol for ovarian cysts you may not ovulate during that time, which means you may not be able to get pregnant. If you would like to learn more about how Dr. John Lee treats ovarian cysts with natural progesterone cream, please consider purchasing his book on natural progesterone at his website.

Supportive Herbs for Ovarian Cysts

Now that “clearing out” is covered, let’s look at balancing the body so we can help prevent future cysts. Consider an herbal program for preventing ovarian cysts from forming in the first place.

We like to use herbs to help to nourish the endocrine system, and promote hormonal balance, regular ovulation, and proper circulation to the reproductive organs. We also like to use herbs that are detoxifying to the liver for improved hormonal balance and estrogen metabolism. Ovarian cysts are considered a state of stagnation in the body, both in regard to the liver and circulation to the reproductive organs.

Maca root(Lepidium meyenii) Maca is a great fertility herb that helps the body produce progesterone and balance the hormones without containing any hormones itself.

We find that maca helps natural progesterone to work better by nourishing the endocrine system. Maca is best taken daily at 1,000-3,000 mg.

Black Cohosh root (Actaea racemosa): This herb promotes regulation of the entire menstrual cycle. Black cohosh is one of the best herbs for relieving ovarian pain.

Dong Quai root (Angelica sinensis): This traditional Chinese herb aids hormonal balance and is specific for congestive fertility issues. Dong Quai also supports healthy circulation to the reproductive organs and reduction in pain associated with a variety of fertility issues.

Milk Thistle seed (Silybum marianum): This herb supports hormonal balance through liver support. Milk thistle helps the liver to cleanse and regenerate itself. As we all know, the liver helps to filter toxins from the body, including excess hormones.

Tribulus, aerial parts and fruit (Tribulus terrestris): Tribulus has been found to normalize ovulation when used prior to ovulation. In her text Botanical Medicine for Women’s Health, physician, midwife, and herbalist Dr. Aviva Romm shares of one study performed on 36 women who were not ovulating, showing that 67% realized normal ovulation after only 2-3 months of consistent use. The women were given 300-400mg a day, from day 5-14 of their menstrual cycle. 6% became pregnant right away. Tribulus has also been found to be a nourishing tonic for the female reproductive system as a whole, especially concerning the ovaries.

Vitex, Chaste tree berry (Vitex agnus-castus): Vitex aids in regulating hormonal balance, promotes ovulation, and improves timing of the entire menstrual cycle.

Wild Yam root (Dioscorea villosa): Wild Yam promotes a healthy menstrual cycle and hormonal balance. Wild Yam is also an excellent remedy for reducing ovarian pain.

Yarrow aerial parts (Achillea millefolium): Yarrow relieves pelvic congestion through improved circulation to the reproductive organs.

Step Three: Dissolve and Reduce Cysts

There are two natural therapies that have been used time and time again to help the body break down the cysts, reduce their size and may help them to disappear altogether.

Systemic Enzyme Therapy: The body contains a variety of enzymes. Enzymes are catalysts for chemical reactions necessary to the innumerable actions that maintain the function of the body. A subclass of enzymes known as Systemic Enzymes work to help the body breakdown excess foreign tissues and reduce inflammation. Supplementation with a high-quality systemic enzyme blend such as Fertilica Choice EnzymesTM may help the body to reduce the size of the cysts or eliminate them over time.

Castor Oil Pack: Castor Oil Packs are an ancient therapy that help to cleanse and heal the area of the body where they are placed. The castor oil has a drawing power that helps the body to clear itself of excess tissues and toxins. Castor oil packs stimulate the lymphatic and circulatory systems. The lymphatic system removes toxins and waste from the area where the pack is applied. A castor oil pack also increases circulation which helps to bring in fresh oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood to the reproductive organs, including the ovaries. This is a vital step to helping the body reduce and dissolve ovarian cysts. Do not apply during menstruation.

Summary

We have learned the main cause of functional cysts is hormonal imbalance, which disrupts the natural menstrual cycle and may lead to the formation of ovarian cysts. It is vital to bring the body back to a state of balance to prevent the formation of ovarian cysts.

1. Reduce excess estrogen in the body by avoiding exposure to xenoestrogens and naturally promoting healthy estrogen metabolism through the use of DIM.

2. Increase progesterone levels and support hormonal balance overall. Consider the benefits of natural progesterone supplementation and herbs for hormonal balance and the reduction in cyst formation.

3. Dissolve and reduce ovarian cysts through Systemic Enzyme Therapy and Castor Oil Packs.

Ovarian Cyst Natural Therapies Checklist

Daily:

1. DIM – 1 capsule, 1 to 4 times a day with food
2. Maca – 2 capsules a day
3. Systemic Enzyme Therapy – 3 tablets 2 times a day on an empty stomach at least 45 minutes before meals with water.

Day 10 -26 of your menstrual cycle:

Apply 40mg Progesterone cream a day: 20mg twice a day, one 20mg application in the morning and one 20mg application at night, for a total of 40mg of natural progesterone a day. This method of progesterone therapy may be best done for three months and then discontinued after that. This type of application is meant to suppress ovulation, so do not use progesterone in this way when you are trying to become pregnant.

6 times a month for 3 months:

Castor oil pack – Use the castor oil pack 30 minutes a day for at least 6 days of the month any time after menstruation. Apply for a total of 3 months.

Note: It is best to take 3 months to work to get rid of ovarian cysts prior to trying to conceive. Should you actively try to conceive while using Castor Oil Packs, apply them prior to ovulation only.

Live: Could it be estrogen dominance? + q&a

naturalfertilityinfo

This is the supplement used in the study ⤵️

This antioxidant not only showed a 50% increase of success rates in IVF’s it also:

- Improved egg quality
- Stopped DNA oxidation
- Created more egg follicles
- Increased sperm health & motility
- Higher fertilization rate
- Better embryo development

This is beneficial for anyone over 35 ttc. Even if you aren’t doing an IVF. 

The antioxidant is ✨ Ubiquinol✨ .

For best results I like to stack fertility antioxidants. So we not only use Ubiquinol in our egg health program, we also include 5 additional antioxidants that have been shown to provide incredible support for egg health. 

These antioxidants are: 

💎 PQQ (pyrroloquinoline-quinine)
PQQ is an antioxidant known for its cell-protective qualities. It’s particularly good at reducing oxidative stress & the aging effects on cells, enhancing ovarian function and egg quality.

💎 NAC (N-acetylcysteine)
NAC plays a significant role in supporting embryo quality. It provides a defense against oxidative stress. 

💎 L Glutathione
L Glutathione is known for its ability to guard against oxidative stress. It also supports the detoxification processes in the ovaries.

💎 ALA (alpha lipoic acid)
ALA, supports egg quality, fertilization rates, and embryo development. It works by enhancing the quality of the oocytes. 

💎 Selenium
Selenium is an essential mineral. It plays a key role in protecting against oxidative stress. It’s known to improve oocyte production and increase follicle count. Selenium also supports glutathione production, an antioxidant critical for reproductive health.

How to use antioxidants for egg health ⬇️

The key to getting results with antioxidants is to have them circulating in the body continuously. They are not stored by the body and are “spent” when they protect the egg cells against free radicals. This requires daily supplementation. That is why I formulated OvaWise Antioxidants to provide all key 5 antioxidants in one supplement. You can take OvaWise all month long & use them in conjunction with other herbs & supplements.

This is one of the main causes of fertility issues....

Exposure to excessive hormones from our environment.

Yep. These compounds, known as ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS, are causing hormonal imbalances which are negatively affecting our ability to ovulate.

They also negatively affect EGG health and sperm count.

♻️ These environmental factors include plastics (with BPA being one of the most commonly known), body care and hair care products, household cleaners, and even fragrance candles.

 🛀 These environmental factors cause us to have repeated micro exposure to xenoestrogens on a daily basis, without even knowing it.

These xenoestrogens mimic estrogen in the body but in a potent way, causing a hormonal imbalance which can contribute to the growth of uterine fibroids, endometriosis, heavy periods, and painful periods – all of these are linked to excess of estrogen within the body.

So, how do we deal with this? First, we cleanse and detoxify the body.

By supporting the body’s natural ability to eliminate these compounds and excess hormones, we can significantly alleviate the hormonal imbalance.

 👉 This can be done with The Fertility Cleanse Kit. 

Next, we need to eliminate the triggers from our lifestyle. This includes switching out products that contain phthalates, parabens, and endocrine disruptors for natural alternatives.

❗This includes everything from hair care, skincare, body care, household cleaners, to laundry and dish detergent. 

Thank goodness companies are responding to the need for “clean products” and creating effective and healthier alternatives. 

 🥦 Finally, nourishing ourselves with supportive foods is important for fertility and overall health. Consuming a diet rich in whole-foods provides our body with necessary vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids.

Eating a balanced diet consisting of organic vegetables, legumes, nuts/seeds, and healthy fats can provide the support needed to keep hormone levels balanced.

The only advice the Dr gave me was to wait and see...

My fertility journey started out of pure frustration. 

And from that day forward a fire was lit and has been roaring ever since. 

You see, I was miscarrying and all the doctor gave me as a solution was.... to wait and see. 

I bet you know all too well how this feels.

Maybe it wasn’t a pregnancy loss, but was a lack of diagnosis, or a lack of empathy. Or even a lack of believing you when you say something doesn’t seem right. 

That is why I never want you to feel like I did that day. 

That’s why I show up here everyday to share with you everything I know... EVERY WAY I know to support your fertility. 

If you have ever felt LET DOWN AND ALONE along your fertility journey, know that you have options. Know there ARE things you can do to impact your reproductive health. 

If you are ready to take an empowered path to pregnancy. One with options and action. Let me know.

There is no need to “wait and see”...

You can improve your fertility with natural therapies and lifestyle changes.

Here are the top 5 most important things to do. 

✨ Clear detoxification pathways - The time while you are preparing for conception is one of the most important times to create a healthy body in preparation for pregnancy. Fertility cleansing is a way to support the body in preparation for conception by cleansing the uterus and liver.

Through the use of herbs, The Fertility Cleanse encourages the liver to cleanse the body of toxins and excess hormones from the body while increasing circulation to the uterus.

✨ Nourish your eggs - As we age and live our lives throughout the years, our eggs are being exposed to the environment within our body.

High oxidative stress, nutritional deficiency, and lack of circulation all impact the health of our egg cells over time.

✨ Increase circulation to your reproductive system - What does this mean exactly? It means lots of benefits for egg health and uterine lining.

Some great ways to increase circulation to the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries is through Self Fertility Massage and Womb Care Castor Oil Packs. 

✨ Know your fertile window - knowing WHEN or IF you are ovulating will be very important to getting pregnant sooner than later. There are many tools you can use to confirm this.

I personally like fertility charting because it not only pinpoints ovulation but can also give you feedback on other areas of your fertility such as progesterone or thyroid health.  

✨ Reduce stress and create a “receptive” uterine lining - I know, I know, being told to “relax” while ttc can make you grind your teeth, there is major benefits to reducing cortisol levels while ttc.

Consistently high cortisol can prevent ovulation, and that is a no go around here. Exercising, yoga, meditation and tonic herbs (hello Fertility Superfoods) are my favorite ways to nurture my nervous system. Try different things out and find your b l i s s.

This is the key to egg health...

In the past, a common belief was that the only factor which determines ovarian and egg health was age.

There are many factors that can have an impact on the health of the ovaries and eggs including environmental factors, hormones in the diet, and stress, just to name a few.

💎 Egg health is one of the cornerstones of healthy fertility. The health of your eggs (ova) can affect whether or not fertilization and implantation will occur as well as the viability of a pregnancy.

💎 Age has an impact on egg health as the ovaries continued to age, causing the “housing” for the eggs as well as the environment in the body affecting egg cell health.

💎 Protecting the eggs you currently have as well as encouraging ovarian health through diet, herbs, supplements, and increased circulation to the reproductive system is of the utmost importance.

Egg health is one of the cornerstones of healthy fertility.

The health of your eggs (ova) can affect whether or not fertilization and implantation will occur as well as the viability of a pregnancy.

During the cycle of an egg’s journey towards ovulation, there is a window of opportunity, a period of time, when certain factors can affect the health of the eggs that are preparing for ovulation. ⏳

This journey takes about 90 days.

The steps you take today will impact the health of your eggs 3 MONTHS from now.

That is why I talk so much about taking a MINIMUM of 90 days to prepare for pregnancy or IVF/IUI.

🙂 Good News! There are steps you can take to help support the health of your eggs.

Here are 5 areas to focus on for improving egg health: 

➡️ Detoxification 
➡️ Nutrition
➡️ Antioxidant therapy
➡️ Increasing circulation & reducing inflammation
➡️ Hormone health

Hormone Health + Uterine Health = Fertility ⤵️

As an herbalist, I find that cleansing is one of the most effective natural therapies I use. 

✨ The body is constantly working to eliminate the old to make space for the new. 

By incorporating cleansing herbs to support this natural function, you can accelerate the benefits and enhance overall health.

When it comes to reproductive health, the advantages of cleansing are particularly significant.
 
This is the recipe for healthy fertility:

📌Hormone Health + Uterine Health

Fertility cleansing specifically targets these two crucial aspects, ensuring that your body is in the best possible condition for conception.

Why Cleansing Works:

🌿 Supports Natural Detoxification: Cleansing herbs assist the liver and other detox organs in removing toxins more efficiently.

🌿 Balances Hormones: By eliminating endocrine disruptors and excess hormones, cleansing helps to restore hormonal balance.

🌿Enhances Uterine Health: Cleansing helps to clear out old, stagnant blood and tissue, preparing the uterus for a healthy lining and successful implantation.

Fertility Cleansing focuses on these key areas to provide a comprehensive approach to reproductive health. 

By supporting your body’s natural processes, you can create an optimal environment for conception and a healthy pregnancy.

That is why this is one of the first steps of my Natural Fertility Formula. 

✨✨If you are ready to start supporting your hormone health and fertility thie Fertility Cleanse Kit is a great place to start.

Do you have a plan?

It can be overwhelming trying to figure out where to start.

Here is what I want you to know…

👏 You can have an impact on your own reproductive health. I call it self-health care and have seen results day in and out of women transforming their hormonal health, periods and fertility issues through the use of natural therapies. 

✨ You need support and encouragement. Having others in your space (even if it is online) who support you and encourage you is important. Read our success stories when you need motivation.

✨You need to take action. Nothing is going to change if things don’t change. The steps are simple, I can teach you those.

Consistency is the “secret”. Many of us get stuck in the information gathering stage but never take action. I know that won’t be you 😉

✨Shifts in reproductive health take time. The body works at its own pace. Coming back into balance can take multiple cycles. Have realistic expectations and patience with yourself. In the long run 3-6 months isn’t very long. 

✨Nutrition is underrated. Foods are just as much the solution as the cause. Make nutrition part of your fertility plans no matter what. You don’t have to be perfect but be on purpose. 

✨Age ≠ fertility. If you are over 35 your probably feeling the pressure of “age” impacting your fertility. It’s not actually about age. What is important are 2 things. Ovulation and Egg Health. Focusing on these two areas will take you 10x farther than worrying about age. 

✨Know thy body. One of the most important tools that I teach is how to read the feedback your body is giving you about your reproductive health.If you can understand your body’s signs - you will have clarity on what to focus in on. 

✨You need to commit to a plan and follow through. The results of the ‘Formula’ are pretty predictable. It is the accumulation of 17 years of supporting women with natural therapies put into an easy to use guide & checklist.

Plant Foods to Embrace:

🥦 Cruciferous Vegetables

Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, kale, and cauliflower are not only nutrient-dense but also contain compounds such as indole-3-carbinol, which has been shown to support hormonal balance and may alleviate period pain.

A study in the Journal of Nutrition highlighted that these vegetables could modulate estrogen metabolism, potentially reducing the risk of estrogen-related conditions.

🌶 Iron-Rich Foods

Leafy greens and legumes are pivotal for replenishing iron lost during menstruation, especially important for those experiencing heavy bleeding. The non-heme iron found in plant foods, while not as readily absorbed as heme iron from animal products, can still significantly contribute to iron levels when consumed with vitamin C-rich foods to enhance absorption.

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that vegetarians who consume a variety of plant foods are not at any greater risk of iron deficiency than non-vegetarians.

It`s a myth that plant-based diets cannot provide enough iron; foods like lentils, chickpeas, and spinach are excellent sources.

🌰 Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids, found in flaxseeds and walnuts, are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, which can reduce menstrual cramps. A study in the Journal of Reproductive Health suggested that omega-3 supplementation could lessen menstrual pain. Incorporating these into a plant-based diet can offer a natural approach to managing period discomfort.

🌾 Whole Grains

Quinoa, brown rice, and oats are not only filling but also provide B vitamins and fiber, aiding in digestion and hormonal regulation. Whole grains can help stabilize blood sugar levels, which is crucial for maintaining hormonal balance.

The fiber in whole grains also plays a role in binding excess hormones and removing them from the body, as indicated in research from the Journal of Nutrition.

Fertility Myths about ovulation

👉🏽 Myth #1: Period = ovulation 

Fact: Regular periods can occur without ovulation. A period is the uterine lining shedding, not the loss of the egg. 

👉🏽 Myth #2: Positive OPK test guarantees ovulation 

Fact: Ovulation tests detect the LH surge, indicating your body is preparing to ovulate, but they do not confirm that ovulation has occurred. Confirming ovulation typically requires tracking basal body temperature or hormone levels.

 
👉🏽 Myth #3: You can only get pregnant on the day you ovulate 

Fact: The fertile window can be up to 6 days, including the days leading up to and the day of ovulation, due to sperm’s ability to survive in the female reproductive tract for several days.

👉🏽 Myth #4: Having s3x everyday increases your chances of pregnancy

Fertility Myths about ovulation

👉🏽 Myth #1: Period = ovulation 

Fact: Regular periods can occur without ovulation. A period is the uterine lining shedding, not the loss of the egg. 

👉🏽 Myth #2: Positive OPK test guarantees ovulation 

Fact: Ovulation tests detect the LH surge, indicating your body is preparing to ovulate, but they do not confirm that ovulation has occurred. Confirming ovulation typically requires tracking basal body temperature or hormone levels.

 
👉🏽 Myth #3: You can only get pregnant on the day you ovulate 

Fact: The fertile window can be up to 6 days, including the days leading up to and the day of ovulation, due to sperm’s ability to survive in the female reproductive tract for several days.

👉🏽 Myth #4: Having s3x everyday increases your chances of pregnancy
