Yep, you read that right sister… there are possibly 19 days of a menstrual cycle that a women can ovulate on. 🤯 Today I began my Natural Contraception for fertility certification training and WOW! My mind is blow and my ovaries are loving with this information. The science and statistics that come with natural fertility contraception is amazing! The stats that I’ve learnt about a womens ovulation today has BLOWN MY MIND 🧠 (I know I’ve already said that but I’m buzzing). I’m a big believer in being a forever student and continually learning about the things you love. Before today I felt as though I knew a lot about #menstrualcycles and cycle tracking itself but girlfriend there is SO MUCH to learn that goes into this topic.

Period calling 📞🩸 this week? 3 Must do thing Period calling 📞🩸 this week? 3 Must do things while you're menstruating for a Pain Free, enjoyable Period! *Disclaimer - YES periods can be enjoyable! 1. REST You burn around 80% of energy menstruating, so Stop and Allow yourself to slow, down and rest. For those inside the #WellWomanAcademy, practice the Kali Yoga practice (how to video in the group). 2. Consume warm foods! Don't restrict rather simply just change your cooking style - this can also support and potentially improve the health of your blood flow as well. 3. Period Pain? Cramps? Heavy Bleed? Back pain? One of the most beneficial things I've done to support this as have my clients is ensuring my body is getting the essential nutrients it needs for balance. I use and recommend a high quality multivitamin, one that contains, Vitamin B's, essential minerals like zinc + calcium + magnesium, and selenium.

MY MENSTRUAL CYCLE STORY… 🩸 PART 2 (Contracep MY MENSTRUAL CYCLE STORY… 🩸 PART 2 (Contraceptive Pill, PCOS and Amenorrhea) It literally felt like I was out of control. I had zero control over my body. Despite, at this stage in my life getting a period meant; putting a tampon in and off I walked back into my day, everything would be fine. I’d bleed for a couple of days, but nothing would change from day to day. Through this experience of losing my period and my entire cycle, I’d never felt so disconnected from my body. I felt healthy, active and balanced out my weight. My diet had never been cleaner after healing myself from leaky gut; yet, I still felt uncontrollable inside my own body. #PCOS… “Pfff, this can’t happen to me. I’m really, really healthy”. That day, I came home from the doctors and my long-term partner at the time asked me, “How did you go?” “Well, I have PCOS”. “You have PCOS? You hardly have any of the symptoms?” “I know” I replied. In this moment I realised, I never really felt like I had PCOS, so I simply never really told anyone because I didn’t believe that I had it. and I knew if I told people, in the same moment I’d be telling myself that I have PCOS, even when I didn’t think I had it – yet the bloods and ultrasounds said Yes. I didn’t want to label myself, or have others label me too. (Let this be a lesson for you in how you choose to label yourself.) Overtime, I made a few adjustments to support PCOS and a healthy menstrual cycle. For example, I shifted up a few things in my diet, added to my nutritional product regime (I used these products) and began focusing on the emotional healing elements of PCOS too. It was only when I started to make simple lifestyle shifts and began paying close attention to my menstrual cycle that I discovered there was A LOT more to my monthly cycle than just a period bleed. I started tracking my menstrual cycle for the first time as an almost 30 year old women and despite the fact I’d been working in health for almost a decade at this time, I didn’t really know anything about menstrual cycles. 🤯😳😤🤨 How could this be? How was I so miss educated? Was it just me that didn’t know, or do others feel the same? .... #menstrualcycle #pcosawareness
It’s time for a 3 part story... 😉🤗there’ It’s time for a 3 part story... 😉🤗there’s a number of new faces and it’s always nice to know who you’re following, what they’re about and how they got to where they are. So here’s a little bit about my journey; MY MENSTRUAL CYCLE STORY… 🩸PART 1 (Contraceptive Pill, PCOS and Amenorrhea) I was a late bloomer, I got my period just before my 16th birthday and at the time it meant I could FINALLY start shaving my legs (thanks dad). This same year I started taking hormonal contraception not knowing that this one decision would contribute to my life purpose in the future… Fast forward 12 years and yep, I was still on that very same #contraceptivepill . It was in my late 20s and having recently been diagnosed with leaky gut and progressing through a successful gut healing journey I began to question my contraceptive choices and reproductive health. The contraceptive pill felt like the final piece of my health puzzle that I was yet to tick off the “to-do” list. I was 27. I went cold turkey, very much how my dad did when he quit smoking and I lost my cycle for almost a full 9 months. Amenorrhea – no bleeds, no balance, just intense highs and lows, which followed with a diagnosis of #PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome). I describe myself at this time of my like, as a woman whom I really didn’t feel like a woman at all. I noticed that I began to feel different everyday, week to week. It felt wild, unstable and as if there was an alien in to control of my body…. “What the “F” is going on? Who is in my body, who is trying to control the show – and where the “F” has Jema gone?” In this moment I said to myself, “Hang on a second… there’s something going on here.” I’d describe myself in this moment, as a woman coming off the pill that I really didn’t feel like a woman at all. In an emoji this sums it up: 🤯😫😢 My mood swings were ridiculously crazy and I had no cycle. Can you relate to this? #menstrualcycle #periodcoach #yoniverse
You know periods are causing change when famed col You know periods are causing change when famed colour company @pantone debuts a new shade of red called, simply: Period. 👏🏼👏🏼🩸 Now we’re talking! After years of referring to pantone colour books (I still own them actually) when I worked as a swimwear designer I’m so excited that there’s officially a period colour now - YAY! Is it just me that thinks this is cool? They’re calling it “energizing and dynamic red,” It is intended to draw cheerful attention to the fact that periods are normal and shouldn't be any more stigmatized than breathing. Give me a HELL YES! 🙌🏼✊🏼❤️ “An active and adventurous red hue, courageous Period emboldens those who menstruate to feel proud of who they are,” vice president of the Pantone Color Institute Laurie Pressman “To own their period with self-assurance; to stand up and passionately celebrate the exciting and powerful life force they are born with; to urge everyone, regardless of gender, to feel comfortable to talk spontaneously and openly about this pure and natural bodily function.” Here’s the full story of how Period. The Pantone colour came to be: “Period”, a new red shade created to break the stigma around menstruation and promote period positivity. Swedish healthcare brand @intimina came to Pantone Color Institute to develop this custom color in support of their global campaign to make menstruation more visible and normalize this most normal of bodily functions. Pantone Color Institute collaborated with @Intimina on the Seen + Heard campaign to create a red shade that is inspired by a steady menstrual flow. Pantone and Intimina worked alongside a gynecologist and consulted research published in Medical News Today to develop the shade, but by no means is this supposed to be an accurate depiction. Instead, we created a visual identifier of a red shade that would help @Intimina leverage the power of color to share their story. ❤️❤️❤️ #menstrualcycleawareness #yoniverse #periodproblems
