Are you tracking your cycle but still feeling uncertain about how to optimize your fertility? 🌸 Are you relying on just one method, like basal body temperature, and wondering if there’s more you could be doing to truly understand your body?


Many women, even those deeply in touch with their spiritual and emotional healing, don’t realize how much hormonal education they’re missing. Misunderstanding your cycle can create confusion and frustration, especially when you’re trying to conceive. It’s not just about knowing the signs—it’s about knowing the full picture of your fertile window.


In this episode, host Carolina Sotomayor sits down with Dr. Erin Ellis to clear up the confusion surrounding basal body temperature (BBT), cervical mucus, and hormone health for conception.


BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

  • How to accurately track ovulation using BBT, cervical mucus, and LH surges for a complete fertility picture.
  • Why hormonal imbalances may be impacting your cycle and conception journey—and how to get the right answers.
  • The importance of advocating for proper hormone testing, so you can finally make progress in your fertility journey.
