Basal body temp
This, to know it exactly, especially ovulation! If you take a closer look at this diagram, you can see menstruation (winter), rising estrogen (spring), rising FSH+LH/ovulation peak ~48h (summer, maybe fresh and early summer) rising Progesterone welcomes autumn season! https://image.nostr.build/87f9b67de8f32a58df1eba4da026d37353a437e2f0b0392c2167a6787adffb3f.png
pretty interesting info!! i’ve always heard of taking advantage of our cycle, but hadn’t come across on the how :) thank u <3
I think measuring the basal body temperature is a good way to understand your cycle better :) so glad I’ve got this information. I feel so much better since stop using the pill.
Yeah, I switched from hormones and meds to measuring and adjusting my lifestyle, and there was this aha! moment. I had to get off all the pills. Permanently damaged my health, trying to pretend to be a man.
part of the reason why idgaf about finding a woman these days is they are all on default prescriptions of hormone pills that make them into woman-men all out dominating and hunting and not caring about things that a woman is born to care about it's sick, and i'm not gonna waste my time with this chemically induced psychosis tyvm
They don't know that it's having a negative effect on them. I was on BCP as a teenager and never stopped until shortly before I met my husband. I have a cousin who is very "crunchy granola", who convinced me to stop with the chemicals, eat organic veggies, clean with vinegar, and wear wool.
What should go wrong preventing a womans body from ovulating every month with hormones…. Fuck this pill. I wasn’t myself during that time.
literally causes a form of psychosis, and i'm tired of pretending it isn't
Hmm, maybe.. it blocks her natural senses…. I’m tired too, observing that on most of my female friends…. But believe me, not every woman is interested in that. But there is so much education needed. We SIMPLY don’t know!!! Nobody telling us about it !! This is shocking. And since it’s the average, many women don’t care because it kinda works. Oh you have pain? Take the pill Oh you have an unregular cycle? Take the pill Oh you just don’t want to be pregnant? Take the pill before you find out that there are only about 5 days you actually can get pregnant in a cycle. Who needs awareness & holistic approaches. That topic hits different.
I know women who got on it with 15 to help with acne. 🥴 They're about to go through menopause and they're still on it. My women's doctor keeps warning me that I'm being irresponsible, not being on hormonal birth control. Yo, I've been married for 2 decades and we have kids. I think he's not going to run away in shock, if I get pregnant. 😂 The whole birth control discussion gets weirder and weirder, the older you are.
