WHAT SEASON ARE YOU IN? ☀️🍁 ❄️ 🍃
The four phases of our menstrual cycle (menstruation, follicular, ovulation and luteal) reflect the four seasons of the year. We are a microcosm of the macrocosm .
As women we are tremendously cyclical beings. Our emotions, feelings, energy & physical symptoms vary and change with each ‘season’ we are in. These changes are due to normal hormonal fluctuations
.
Once we understand our hormones and these cyclical changes, we gain a much deeper insight and understanding as to why we feel the way we feel right now
.
Why today we can achieve but yesterday we just wanted to go slow. Stop.
.
Why yesterday we could handle anything thrown at us with grace and dignity, yet today we want to curl up in a ball and cry.
.
Once we truly tap in, and truly understand what is normal with our cycles, we can use it to our advantage - do and be as is appropriate for where we are at, rather than forcing ourselves to achieve when we should be resting. Go with the flow of our cycles, rather than fighting & trying so hard
.
Use our cycles us our amazing SUPER POWERS.
I am currently in my luteal or ‘autumn’ 🍁phase, a time to rest, be still, go slow and nourish myself in preparation for my next phase, my menstrual or ‘winter’ ❄️phase
.
With a ‘to do’ list the length of my arm, and a busy head right now, I must admit, I am finding it a bit challenging. But it’s about knowing that it is ok if I don’t get everything done right now. It’s also about knowing not to plan to do a million things in winter, as this is the time to go slow, hibernate, go inward and rest. .
Trust the process
.
Trust your body. Listen to it whisper or it will start shouting
.
I would love to know what season you are in right now, and how are you feeling? Are we in synch? Use ☀️ 🍁❄️ 🍃

Male Fertility Matters! After all, they are 50% of

Male Fertility Matters! After all, they are 50% of the embryo

SUPER FAST “FORMULA 1” SPERM
The fastest swimmers may find the egg in as little as 45 minutes whilst the slowest, up to 12 hours. Historically, it has been believed that the fastest swimmers must be the strongest and therefore the best. However, speed (motility) and count are not always indicators of sperm quality
.
Sperm are vulnerable & fragile & there are many factors that are known to interfere with sperm quality including diet, smoking and drinking, toxins & chemicals, stress, illness & poor immunity, weight, age, genetics and heat (sperm love the cold). Sperm quality impacts not only the ability to conceive, but also a healthy, successful pregnancy & baby
.
Poor quality sperm has been linked with:
🌸Reduced egg fertilisation
🌸Poor embryo development
🌸Increased miscarriage rates
🌸Increased birth defects
🌸Childhood illnesses eg allergies, asthma, autism etc

Fellas, it takes 74 days to produce tip top sperm.
.
Some easy things you can do for sperm quality:
1. Take the above nutrients daily (best to be prescribed)
2. Cut the crap fats ~ this means trans fats (saturated fats are not the problem) Instead have good fats from fatty fish, nuts & seeds, olive & coconut oils, avocados
3. Take away take-away ~ eat fresh, organic produce instead. Lean meats, colourful fruits & veggies.
4. 4-5 cups leafy greens veggies daily
5. Keep 'em cool ~ testes LOVE the cold: breathable cotton jocks or boxers, lap tops off laps, mobile phones out of pockets. Ice them! Literally.
6. Trim down ~ lose weight and aim for BMI between 19-25
7. Sex, sex, sex 😉
8. Cut out alcohol and cigarettes. Even 1 drink a day decreases sperm quality, and tobacco reduces fertility by 30%
9. Research shows that walking 25-30 minutes, 4 times per week for 6 months substantially increases sperm quality
10. More sex 😉

Sex Ed class circa 1986
1. Learned how to put a condom on a banana. Yup
.
2. Listed all the rude vagina and penis words. Yup
.
3. Remember how easy they made pregnancy sound at school. LOL
.
4. Learned about my period & ovulation so I could understand my body. Nope.
.
Hardly bloody helpful
.
Were you taught about your menstrual cycle? Were you taught about ovulation? Do you know that ovulation is the key to menstruation and fertility? It’s not about the bleed, the bleed is simply a reflection of ovulation and is your monthly report card
.
Do you know how to tell if you are ovulating?

Mucous is a fabulous way to track your ovulation. What we are looking for is the last day that we see clear, raw egg-white mucous. It is stretchy, and sticky. When you go to the toilet and wipe, you will see a shining surface on the paper and it will slip as you wipe. You might have it one day or several days, but the important thing is to know when the last wet day is. The best thing is to look for it and track your mucous everyday
.
The general pattern is that straight after our period, we are dry. Then as we start to approach ovulation (around one week after our period), it starts to become creamy mucous, and might look like runny yoghurt. Then we want to see the clear, raw egg white
.
One thing though is sometimes we don't see it, but rather feel it. I'm not talking about feeling with your fingers, but rather the sensation down there 👇
.
💦Ovulation mucous is wet and cold, whereas your period blood is wet and warm
1. Write down what you see
2. Use the words dry, moist or wet to describe it. If you see clear, raw egg white, do write that down. Remember the sensation is wet and cold
3. Ovulation mucous will leave a clear, slippery surface on the toilet paper when you do a wee and wipe
4. Remember, we are focussed on the last wet day. This is the day most women will ovulate.

It’s been a month of twins! Welcome earthside go

It’s been a month of twins! Welcome earthside gorgeous boys Archie and Charlie. Little Charlie is in special nursery ATM until strong enough to come home
.
These beautiful angels have two stunning mums and their special sperm donor “dad”
.
I worked with the carrying / birthing mother for several months, charting her BBT and mucous to track ovulation. We had to get the timing right for two reasons.
Firstly, they were injecting the sperm themselves, complicated by the fact the donor lives interstate and we were up against boarder closures too during 2020! Soooo, we needed to be as sure
.
Fortunately, the birthing mums cycles became regular and ovulation predictable. And voila! We nailed it! First time!

So honoured to have been a small part of the creation of these two gems 💜💜

WHAT SEASON ARE YOU IN? ☀️🍁 ❄️ 🍃
The four phases of our menstrual cycle (menstruation, follicular, ovulation and luteal) reflect the four seasons of the year. We are a microcosm of the macrocosm .
As women we are tremendously cyclical beings. Our emotions, feelings, energy & physical symptoms vary and change with each ‘season’ we are in. These changes are due to normal hormonal fluctuations
.
Once we understand our hormones and these cyclical changes, we gain a much deeper insight and understanding as to why we feel the way we feel right now
.
Why today we can achieve but yesterday we just wanted to go slow. Stop.
.
Why yesterday we could handle anything thrown at us with grace and dignity, yet today we want to curl up in a ball and cry.
.
Once we truly tap in, and truly understand what is normal with our cycles, we can use it to our advantage - do and be as is appropriate for where we are at, rather than forcing ourselves to achieve when we should be resting. Go with the flow of our cycles, rather than fighting & trying so hard
.
Use our cycles us our amazing SUPER POWERS.
I am currently in my luteal or ‘autumn’ 🍁phase, a time to rest, be still, go slow and nourish myself in preparation for my next phase, my menstrual or ‘winter’ ❄️phase
.
With a ‘to do’ list the length of my arm, and a busy head right now, I must admit, I am finding it a bit challenging. But it’s about knowing that it is ok if I don’t get everything done right now. It’s also about knowing not to plan to do a million things in winter, as this is the time to go slow, hibernate, go inward and rest. .
Trust the process
.
Trust your body. Listen to it whisper or it will start shouting
.
I would love to know what season you are in right now, and how are you feeling? Are we in synch? Use ☀️ 🍁❄️ 🍃

SUPER FAST “FORMULA 1” SPERM
The fastest swimmers may find the egg in as little as 45 minutes whilst the slowest, up to 12 hours. Historically, it has been believed that the fastest swimmers must be the strongest and therefore the best. However, speed (motility) and count are not always indicators of sperm quality
.
Sperm are vulnerable & fragile & there are many factors that are known to interfere with sperm quality including diet, smoking and drinking, toxins & chemicals, stress, illness & poor immunity, weight, age, genetics and heat (sperm love the cold). Sperm quality impacts not only the ability to conceive, but also a healthy, successful pregnancy & baby
.
Poor quality sperm has been linked with:
🌸Reduced egg fertilisation
🌸Poor embryo development
🌸Increased miscarriage rates
🌸Increased birth defects
🌸Childhood illnesses eg allergies, asthma, autism etc

Fellas, it takes 74 days to produce tip top sperm.
.
Some easy things you can do for sperm quality:
1. Take the above nutrients daily (best to be prescribed)
2. Cut the crap fats ~ this means trans fats (saturated fats are not the problem) Instead have good fats from fatty fish, nuts & seeds, olive & coconut oils, avocados
3. Take away take-away ~ eat fresh, organic produce instead. Lean meats, colourful fruits & veggies.
4. 4-5 cups leafy greens veggies daily
5. Keep 'em cool ~ testes LOVE the cold: breathable cotton jocks or boxers, lap tops off laps, mobile phones out of pockets. Ice them! Literally.

7. Sex, sex, sex 😉
8. Cut out alcohol and cigarettes. Even 1 drink a day decreases sperm quality, and tobacco reduces fertility by 30%

Take away take-away ~ eat fresh, organic produce instead. Lean meats, colourful fruits & veggies. 4. 4-5 cups leafy greens veggies daily 5. Keep 'em cool ~ testes LOVE the cold: breathable cotton jocks or boxers, lap tops off laps, mobile phones out of pockets. Ice them! Literally. 6. Trim down ~ lose weight and aim for BMI between 19-25 7. Sex, sex, sex 😉 8. Cut out alcohol and cigarettes. Even 1 drink a day decreases sperm quality, and tobacco reduces fertility by 30% 9. Research shows that walking 25-30 minutes, 4 times per week for 6 months substantially increases sperm quality 10. More sex 😉">

Sex Ed class circa 1986 1. Learned how to put a co

Sex Ed class circa 1986
1. Learned how to put a condom on a banana. Yup
.
2. Listed all the rude vagina and penis words. Yup
.
3. Remember how easy they made pregnancy sound at school. LOL
.
4. Learned about my period & ovulation so I could understand my body. Nope.
.
Hardly bloody helpful
.
Were you taught about your menstrual cycle? Were you taught about ovulation? Do you know that ovulation is the key to menstruation and fertility? It’s not about the bleed, the bleed is simply a reflection of ovulation and is your monthly report card
.
Do you know how to tell if you are ovulating?

Mucous is a fabulous way to track your ovulation. What we are looking for is the last day that we see clear, raw egg-white mucous. It is stretchy, and sticky. When you go to the toilet and wipe, you will see a shining surface on the paper and it will slip as you wipe. You might have it one day or several days, but the important thing is to know when the last wet day is. The best thing is to look for it and track your mucous everyday
.
The general pattern is that straight after our period, we are dry. Then as we start to approach ovulation (around one week after our period), it starts to become creamy mucous, and might look like runny yoghurt. Then we want to see the clear, raw egg white
.
One thing though is sometimes we don't see it, but rather feel it. I'm not talking about feeling with your fingers, but rather the sensation down there 👇
.
💦Ovulation mucous is wet and cold, whereas your period blood is wet and warm
1. Write down what you see
2. Use the words dry, moist or wet to describe it. If you see clear, raw egg white, do write that down. Remember the sensation is wet and cold
3. Ovulation mucous will leave a clear, slippery surface on the toilet paper when you do a wee and wipe
4. Remember, we are focussed on the last wet day. This is the day most women will ovulate.

It’s been a month of twins! Welcome earthside go

It’s been a month of twins! Welcome earthside gorgeous boys Archie and Charlie. Little Charlie is in special nursery ATM until strong enough to come home
.
These beautiful angels have two stunning mums and their special sperm donor “dad”
.
I worked with the carrying / birthing mother for several months, charting her BBT and mucous to track ovulation. We had to get the timing right for two reasons.
Firstly, they were injecting the sperm themselves, complicated by the fact the donor lives interstate and we were up against boarder closures too during 2020! Soooo, we needed to be as sure
.
Fortunately, the birthing mums cycles became regular and ovulation predictable. And voila! We nailed it! First time!
.
So honoured to have been a small part of the creation of these two gems 💜💜
