Frequently asked questions
What Prenatal Vitamin do you recommend?
Perelel is my go-to brand for fertility, preconception, and pregnancy vitamins. They have high standards of testing and all supplements are formulated by OBGYNs and functional doctors in the field. They have options to support both male and female factors. Check them out!
Who can practice Fertility Awareness?
Any person with menstruating potential can practice a Fertility Awareness Method. You do not have to be cycling regularly to begin your charting practice. In fact, a charting practice can be an extremely useful tool in many phases of the menstruating life cycle including:
-Around menarche; in preparation for the first menstruation and as a tool for body literacy and cycle management throughout puberty
-Coming off of hormonal contraception
-During fertile years & avoiding pregnancy
-In preparation and support for conception
-Postpartum in preparation for the return of cycles, including while breastfeeding
-Premenopausal in preparation for your final bleed
I am still on birth control. Can I still learn to chart my cycle?
Yes! In fact, I often recommend people continue taking their hormonal contraception when they are first learning so that they remain protected from pregnancy until they thoroughly understand how to chart. Once you have a good understanding of the method, I will teach you how to chart your cycle during the transition period when your body is returning to natural cycles. This period of time is different for every body, but typically lasts somewhere between 3-6 months. If you are having penis-in-vagina intercourse during this time and avoiding pregnancy, you will need to use a barrier method and have a thoughtful plan prepared in case conception occurs. I can help you formulate your protection and preparation plan as we work together. This transition period can feel confusing and even scary for many due to the intense conditioning many of us have received our whole lives around avoiding pregnancy. I promise you, YOU CAN DO IT, and it's really not that bad :)
What if I have menstrual cycles but don't identify as a woman?
In my practice I aim to provide educational material that is anatomically and physiologically accurate while creating space for personal exploration in the realms of sexuality, body literacy, bodily autonomy and personal empowerment. While many spaces I hold will naturally consist of all cis-women, I aim to be a resource for all people who can benefit from a charting practice. As a heterosexual cis-gendered identified woman, I acknowledge the expertise I hold from this perspective as well as the blind spots. As an educator I see my role as providing accurate information to those who can benefit from it, as well as cultivating a diverse and vast network of other qualified educators with their various own identifies and perspectives. If I am not the educator for you, I am confident I can connect you with someone who you may resonate with more. Please don't hesitate to respectfully reach out with your questions and hesitations so we can find you a good match, if it ain't me!
Do you accept payment plans or work trade?
I offer flexible payment plans, sliding scale, and occasionally work trade. I am committed to offering this information to as many people who can benefit from it. If you are concerned about your ability to work with me due to cost, please reach out to me directly and we can talk!
What charting apps do you recommend?
With so many wellness apps out there, it can be confusing which ones are actually useful and effective for charting your cycle. Period tracker apps are NOT the same as charting apps! For beginners, I typically recommend first learning on paper charts when getting into the rhythm of charting. However, there is one app that I recommend for charting your cycle.
Read Your Body is the only application on the market that is set up perfectly to chart your cycle using the Cycle Mapping method, AND they do not use or sell your private data!
By working with me, you can get three months free of charting on Read Your Body. Book a session to learn more!
What BBT Thermometers do you recommend?
With so many fancy thermometers on the market, it can be difficult to know which one is best for you! There are two thermometers that I personally recommend:
Manual BBT thermometer- this is the thermometer that I personally use and is great for you if you can manage taking your morning temperature on your own. It is affordable, waterproof, and has a back light if you are an early riser like me! (paid link)
Tempdrop- this is a wearable thermometer that I recommend for postpartum/breastfeeding moms or anyone who is unable to take their BBT each morning manually. Tempdrop’s patented algorithm learns your unique nightly and monthly temperature patterns, filtering out disturbances for accurate results. It works differently than Oura Ring, Apple Watch, or other high-tech wearable thermometers in that it accounts for nightly disturbances. It also does not automatically sync to an app, therefore emitting no EMFs while you sleep. Purchase here for 15% off! (paid link)
