What you will learn in this episode

  • The role of hormones and the brain in the cycle;
  • What happens at each stage of the menstrual cycle;
  • The differences between a β€œclassical” cycle and a PCOS cycle;
  • Natural ways to support ovulation and the regularity of the cycle.

How does a menstrual cycle work in women?

  • The brain gives orders to the ovaries to make oocytes;
  • The start of the cycle begins with the period: the endometrium from the previous cycle is evacuated;
  • The cycle starts at J1 (first day of clear blood loss);
  • While the body is evacuating the endometrium, the brain sends a command to the ovaries to get follicles out of the stock;
  • Gradually, these follicles grow and one or two oocytes become dominant (to welcome pregnancy tomorrow), the others disappear: it is follicular atresia ;
  • When the dominant oocyte reaches a certain size, the brain understands that it is necessary to ovulate and activates the LH peak ;
  • The oocyte then descends into the tube to eventually meet a sperm cell.

‍

Here's what's going on at the hormonal level:

If an embryo is made

  • It is implanted in the endometrium;
  • The rest of the follicle becomes a Corpus luteum Who secretes progesterone.

If there is no embryo

  • The brain realizes that there is no pregnancy and sends the signal to trigger periods.
πŸ’‘ Key figures

According to A scientific journal published in the National Library of Medicine and based on more than 60 studies published internationally, up to 35% of women are affected by ovulation disorders in some countries. This same study indicates that this is more the case in cases of metabolic syndrome (episode 6) and in case of diabetes (episode 5), problems often associated with PCOS.

How does the duration of a cycle happen?

  • Cycles last on average between 26 and 34 days ;
  • It is important that they are Relatively regular ;
  • Each woman has her own range, but it's generally stable from month to month.

What matters is to have a optimal cycle, with good hormone levels at every stage.

How do you follow your cycle?

  • I can Monitor my cycles (with an app or a calendar);
  • Or use the Symptothermy to recognize them (even if it's not always obvious).
πŸ‘‰ When you want to have a baby, the ideal is to have relationships At the time of ovulation or just before

We remind you, for information:

  • The oocyte lives 24 hours ;
  • Sperm live several days.

It is therefore ideal to have relationships during the fertility window (4 to 5 days around ovulation).

What is a PCOS cycle?

  • You can have your period but with few cycle health symptoms (phlegm, discharge...);
  • We can not having periods every month ;
  • Or have very irregular cycles (60 days, then 35 days, then 45...).
A normal cycle is a sign of good overall health.

We can try to restore better ovulation naturally, but in the context of PCOS, you should always Look at the syndrome in its entirety.

To try to restore the cycle naturally you can try:

Raspberry gemmotherapy:

  • It is a extract from buds or young shoots of raspberry, to be taken in the form of drops;
  • It is a natural hormonal rebalancing (even if it does not work for all women);
  • Dosage: 5 drops 3 times a day (ideal) or 15 drops in the morning (more convenient);
  • If the cycle is active, we start Day 1 (first day of menstruation) ;
  • If you don't have a period, you can start straightway.
Gemmotherapy is a branch of herbal medicine : it uses young plant tissue (buds, shoots, roots...).
⚠️ Contraindication to raspberry gemmo

Do not take it in case A history of hormone-dependent cancer, personal or family (breasts, uterus, uterus, ovaries, prostate...).

When in doubt, always seek medical advice.

Primrose oil, combined with Omega 3:

  • Issue of evening primrose seeds ;
  • Effect rebalancing and complementary with raspberry gemmo;
  • Anti-inflammatory, useful because there is often low-grade inflammation in PCOS;
  • TO combine with omega-3 (especially DHA) to enhance the anti-inflammatory action.
πŸ‘‰ These are the first natural trails to help rebalance the cycle and support fertility.

  • If it is absent or irregular I can try:
    • Raspberry gemmo if I have no history of hormonal dependent cancers in my family: 15 drops in the morning or 5 drops 3 times a day;
    • Evening primrose oil, taken daily, and combined with Omega 3 supplementation.
