The Best Natural Remedies for Uterine Fibroids…

Hethir Rodriguez - Certified Herbalist and Nutritionist
July 17, 2021

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous tumors of the uterus. Uterine fibroids are also known as leiomyomata, myomas or uterine polyps. Uterine fibroids grow within the muscles of the uterus, on the outside of the uterus, hang in the uterine cavity (referred to as a uterine polyp) or very rarely form within the cervix. They can range in size from microscopic to several inches in diameter. Uterine fibroids form in the childbearing years of a woman’s life. There may be just one fibroid or many, with differing locations. Uterine fibroids are rarely a cause for concern, but when they become too large, or there are many present, they may become a problem. In this article, we will discuss the different types of fibroids, causes, symptoms, medical treatments, and a natural therapy plan including Fertility Cleansing, eating a fertility diet, herbs, and Self Fertility Massage.

Types of Uterine Fibroids

Submucosal: grow in the innermost layer of the uterus
Intramural: grow in the middle layer of the uterus
Subserosal: grow in the outer wall of the uterus
Pedunculated: attached to a stalk either outside of the uterus or within the uterine cavity
Cervical: in the cervical tissue
Interligamentous: between the uterine broad ligaments

Causes of Uterine Fibroids

Though 20% – 80% of women by age 50 will develop uterine fibroids, according to the Office on Women’s Health at the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, doctors are actually unsure of what causes them to occur. What they do know, however, is that estrogen and progesterone contribute to the growth of the fibroids.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) understand that “reproductive hormones like estrogen appear to stimulate cells to release growth factors (growth factors are chemicals secreted by cells which stimulate other cells to increase in size and number and to differentiate into specialized types of cells…)”

Estrogen and progesterone are at their highest levels during a woman’s childbearing years; this is why uterine fibroids are thought to develop during this time. Normally, after a woman goes through menopause, her body produces lower levels of estrogen and progesterone causing the fibroids to begin to shrink and any associated symptoms, such as pain and pressure to subside.

Uterine fibroids are hormone dependent. They develop during the hormonally active years and decline in menopause. Fibroid tissue has a higher amount of estrogen and progesterone receptors. Fibroid tissue is hypersensitive to estrogen, but does not have the capacity to regulate the estrogen response; this is why they can grow to become quite large. Other hormones play a role in the growth of uterine fibroids as well, including prolactin, parathyroid hormone, insulin growth factor, and pituitary growth hormone.

Fibroids are two to three times more likely to develop in African American women compared to any other ethnicity. In one case study highlighted in the New England Journal of Medicine, Elizabeth A. Stewart, M.D., of the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the Mayo Clinic shares, “The lifetime prevalence of fibroids exceeds 80% among black women…”

Factors that May Increase Fibroid Development

An increase in lifetime exposure to estrogen:
There are many factors that increase a woman’s lifetime exposure to estrogen. More than at any other time in history, women are exposed to more estrogen. This increased exposure can contribute to a wide variety of reproductive health problems, including the development of uterine fibroids. The following factors increase a woman’s lifetime exposure to estrogen:

  • Early menarche – the longer a woman has her menstrual cycle, the longer estrogen levels are elevated
  • Fewer pregnancies – many women today are restricting how many children they are having or are not having children at all, which increases their total exposure to estrogen
  • High body fat content – body fat produces and stores estrogen; the more body fat a woman has the more estrogen she has
  • Exposure to xenoestrogens – plastics, pesticides, herbicides, synthetic hormones in both meat and dairy products, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) including oral contraceptives (birth control) containing synthetic estrogen
  • Poor estrogen metabolism – some women’s bodies have a harder time removing and metabolizing excess estrogen

In addition to exposure to estrogen, the following factors may also play a role in the development of uterine fibroids:

  • Hypertension
  • Infection complications from IUD use
  • Perineal talc use
  • Anovulatory cycles
  • Endometrial hyperplasia (common in women with PCOS)

Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids

While many women will never even know that they have uterine fibroids, because the condition often exhibits no symptoms, there are some women that will experience certain effects from the fibroid’s presence. Symptoms of uterine fibroids include:

  • A sensation of fullness or pressure in the abdominal area
  • Excessive bleeding during menstruation
  • Excessive length of menstruation
  • Extreme cramping during menstruation
  • Lower back pain
  • Painful intercourse
  • A frequent urge to urinate

Uterine Fibroids May Negatively Impact Conception and Pregnancy

Fibroids are thought to be the cause of infertility in 2%-10% of infertility cases. Reports have shown uterine fibroids may be responsible for the following fertility, conception, and pregnancy problems:

  • Interference with implantation of the ovum
  • Compressing the fallopian tubes, preventing conception
  • Anovulatory cycles
  • Abnormal uterine blood flow, hindering movement of sperm to ova
  • Miscarriage
  • Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR)
  • Premature rupture of the membranes
  • Contributing to retained placenta after birth
  • A postpartum hemorrhage
  • An abnormal labor

Not all women with uterine fibroids will experience these kinds of troubles and many go on to have healthy pregnancies even with uterine fibroids present. Because there are risks to your fertility and possibly pregnancy, it is best to work to reduce fibroid growth, prevent formation of new fibroids, and to maintain healthy lifestyle choices to continue working to bring about the best possible uterine health.

Medical Treatment for Uterine Fibroids

In many cases, the effects of uterine fibroids are so minor that often these women use a general over-the-counter pain medicine to treat any cramping or pain associated with the fibroid tumors. Since the tumors can also cause excessive menstrual bleeding, which can lead to anemia, an iron supplement is recommended if excessive bleeding is occurring.

In the medical world, the only “successful” treatment for uterine fibroids is removal. I say successful lightly, especially in the case of removal of the uterine fibroids alone, as new ones can develop post-surgery and any remaining parts of older fibroids can begin to grow back. There are four ways in which doctors aim to remove uterine fibroids:

Uterine fibroids can be quite hard to treat naturally or through hormonal medications prescribed by doctors. If, after trying either hormonal medications or natural therapies you continue to suffer from uterine fibroids, it may be time to seriously consider surgical options. Neither doctors nor natural healthcare practitioners have been able to find an exact solution for getting rid of uterine fibroids permanently. Even after surgery, uterine fibroids may grow again or new ones may form. This is why step 1 under our Natural Therapies guide below is extremely important. It is vital to reduce exposure to xenohormones and continue to eat well to keep estrogen levels in balance.

Natural Therapy Plan for Uterine Fibroids

Step 1: Cleanse, reduce exposure to xenoestrogens, promote healthy estrogen metabolism

Fertility Cleansing

The best way to begin any natural fertility plan would be to do a Fertility Cleanse. A fertility cleanse encourages the liver to cleanse the body of toxins and excess hormones. It also supports the uterus to cleanse itself of old stagnant blood and increases circulation to the uterus while tonifying the uterine tissues.

Reduce Exposure to Xenohormones
Exposure to certain environmental toxins may contribute to the development of uterine fibroids. NIH researchers are investigating the impact of pesticide or other chemical(s) exposure has on hormones might interact with the growth factors known to stimulate uterine fibroid growth mentioned earlier in this guide.

Xenoestrogens are a subclass of endocrine disruptors. Endocrine disruptors, also known as xenohormones, are human-made chemicals. These chemicals have the ability to interfere with the natural functions and development of our bodies. The main function of the endocrine system is to serve as our body’s message center. Hormones deliver messages; the endocrine system coordinates hormones.

Xenoestrogens have the ability to bind to our estrogen receptor sites. This is particularly concerning for women with uterine fibroids. This is because fibroid tissue is hypersensitive to estrogen; it contains a high number of estrogen receptors; this is why they can grow to become quite large. Exposure to xenoestrogens can fuel uterine fibroid growth.

Ways to Avoid Xenohormones:

  • Eat organic foods
  • Avoid exposure to pesticides, herbicides, and synthetic fertilizers
  • Use natural feminine care products
  • Use organic, natural body care products, including makeup
  • Avoid food preservatives and dyes
  • Use low VOC paints
  • Use recycled unbleached paper products
  • Use non-chlorinated oxygen-based bleach in the laundry
  • Avoid plastics

Known Xenoestrogens to Avoid:

  • Atrazine (weed killer)
  • Butylated hydroxyanisole known as BHA (food preservative)
  • 4-Methylbenzylidene camphor known as 4-MBC (sunscreen lotions)
  • Erythrosine, FD&C Red No. 3, (food dye)
  • Bisphenol A (found in polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resin)
  • Ethinyl estradiol (common in oral contraceptive pills, this is released into the environment as a xenoestrogen through the urine and feces of women who use this)
  • Heptachlor and dieldrin, DDT (insecticides)

Dietary Tips for Reducing Uterine Fibroids

Without eating a whole food diet, the body will not respond to herbs, supplements or natural therapies as well. We suggest eating a nutrient-dense whole food fertility diet. This way of eating will create a foundation for a healthy, properly functioning body.

The Importance of Fiber
Your main focus and one of the first things you should do right now is eat more fiber. Fiber helps the body to get rid of excess estrogens.


Good sources of fiber:

  • Dark leafy greens
  • Broccoli
  • Swiss chard
  • Quinoa
  • Chia seeds
  • Beans
  • Ground flaxseed

Whole Grains
Choose whole grains whenever possible and avoid white refined grains. Good choices of whole grains would be brown rice, millet, spelt, buckwheat, rye and oats.

Avoid Anti-nutrients
Avoid saturated fats, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, and junk foods, all of which may contribute to estrogen dominance. We consider these anti-nutrients, which impact fertility negatively.

Eat a diet rich in legumes, fresh vegetables, and fruits.

DIM: Support Healthy Estrogen Metabolism

Supplementation with DIM can increase the body’s natural ability to metabolize and remove excess estrogen. The goal is to help the body manage estrogen in a better way in hopes that any existing uterine fibroids will see a reduction in exposure to estrogen. In theory, this may help slow the growth of fibroids and prevent the formation of new ones.

In summary, from the work of Epidemiologist Courtney Sperlazza, MPH, DIM in part converts bad estrogens into good estrogen metabolites, some of which the body uses and others it excretes. Bad estrogen metabolites are those with the potential to exacerbate problems commonly attributed to estrogen excess; PMS, water retention, acne, low libido, uterine fibroids and endometriosis, etc.

Step 2: Increase circulation, reduce pain, manage heavy menstrual bleeding

Fibro Defense

Fibro Defense goes to the source of the problem, helping to reduce excess estrogen that fuels abnormal growths and stimulates liver activity for improved estrogen metabolism. The herbs in this blend work with your body’s natural detoxification processes to clear congested foreign tissues, while simultaneously helping to prevent new growths from forming. Fibro Defense is an excellent way to promote the health and function of uterine tissues.

Self Fertility Massage™

Self Fertility Massage™ is a series of massage techniques that are used to help support reproductive health, the menstrual cycle, and your fertility- all from the comfort of your own home! This type of massage is easy to learn, perform and is cost-effective!

One of the greatest benefits of massage is the ability to break up adhesions and bring in circulation to the area being massaged. Uterine fibroids may compress and compromise circulation to the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries or other surrounding organs. Self Fertility Massage™ helps to promote healthy circulation, helps the body to rid itself of old stagnant blood and tissues in the uterus, and promotes hormonal balance by strengthening the hormonal feedback loop. Do not do during menstruation.

Castor Oil Pack

Castor Oil Packs are an ancient therapy that helps to cleanse and heal the body where they are placed. The castor oil has a drawing power that clears the body of excess tissues and toxins. Castor oil packs stimulate the lymphatic and circulatory systems. The lymphatic system removes toxins and waste from the area stimulated by the castor oil pack. The promotion of circulation by the castor oil pack will also bring in fresh oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood to the reproductive organs, including the uterus. This is vital to reducing and dissolving uterine fibroids. Do not use during menstruation.

Step 3: Additional Considerations

Systemic Enzyme Therapy

We discussed earlier the benefits of the enzyme protease in Women’s Best Friend. Protease is in a class of pancreatic enzymes. Pancreatic enzymes are a part of a larger group of enzymes called systemic enzymes. Systemic enzymes may be helpful in reducing the size of uterine fibroids, healing and preventing scar tissue damage from existing uterine fibroids, promoting healthy circulation and detoxification of tissues, while reducing pain and inflammation. Learn more about the benefits of Systemic Enzyme Therapy here…

Summary

Uterine fibroids are hormone-dependent. Fibroid tissue is hypersensitive to estrogen, but does not have the capacity to regulate the estrogen response; this is why they can grow to become quite large. Because they are responsive and may develop due to exposure to estrogen, both from our own estrogen and from human-made chemicals, it is vital to reduce excess estrogen and support healthy progesterone levels to balance out unopposed estrogen. It is also vital to promote healthy circulation and detoxify the tissues in the uterus, work to manage pain if present and reduce heavy or mid-cycle menstrual bleeding due to fibroids. The overall goal is to support a healthy normal functioning uterus for a lifetime!

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.

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.

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

Fact: While regular intercourse is important, having sex every day can decrease sperm quality. It’s more effective to have sex every 2-3 days during the fertile window.

👉🏽 Myth #5: You always ovulate on day 14 of your cycle

Fact: Ovulation can vary widely among women and even from cycle to cycle. It typically occurs 10-16 days before the start of the next period.

How to know IF and WHEN you are ovulating. ⤵️

Track your basal body temperature daily. 

▶️ Measure first thing in the morning.
▶️ Use an app, chart, or digital tool.
▶️ Look for patterns: lower temps before ovulation, higher after.

What your chart says about your fertility:

✔️ BBT tracking can confirm ovulation. - A sustained rise in temperature typically indicates ovulation, crucial for timing intercourse for conception.

✔️Once you start charting, you’ll see patterns. Lower temperatures before ovulation and higher ones after. The day your temperature spikes is likely the day after you’ve ovulated.

Use your body’s feedback to support your reproductive health. The Natural Fertility Formula teaches these tools in detail and gives you the foundation to improve YOUR fertility.

You are THE expert on your own body. Let’s listen to what it is telling you and get started today.

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

Fact: While regular intercourse is important, having sex every day can decrease sperm quality. It’s more effective to have sex every 2-3 days during the fertile window.

👉🏽 Myth #5: You always ovulate on day 14 of your cycle

Fact: Ovulation can vary widely among women and even from cycle to cycle. It typically occurs 10-16 days before the start of the next period.

How to know IF and WHEN you are ovulating. ⤵️

Track your basal body temperature daily. 

▶️ Measure first thing in the morning.
▶️ Use an app, chart, or digital tool.
▶️ Look for patterns: lower temps before ovulation, higher after.

What your chart says about your fertility:

✔️ BBT tracking can confirm ovulation. - A sustained rise in temperature typically indicates ovulation, crucial for timing intercourse for conception.

✔️Once you start charting, you’ll see patterns. Lower temperatures before ovulation and higher ones after. The day your temperature spikes is likely the day after you’ve ovulated.
