"They do not tell you this in school!" 100% In school they make it sound like if you just look at a willy you'll get pregnant.
This 100% 😂
I was told this in school, actually! We had to learn the cycle, and also the days during which one is most fertile. :) (Netherlands)
Actually was tought this in biology lessons in the Netherlands!
If you choose Health and Social Care at GCSE and A level Biology they teach you it in super detail. Even now a decade later things like this pops up and my brain goes 'you know this'. But in general sciences or sex Ed, definitely not.
Well to be fair young people tend to be more fertile, and having unprotected sex at that age is way too lightly to result in pregnancy to risk it.
Thank you for being so honest about how low it's making you feel at times. Obviously no-one wants to hear that you're feeling down, but it helps to know that you're not alone in feeling pretty extreme about it from time-to-time. My wife and I have been trying for about a year and she's had a grand total of two periods so... it's not going well. 125-day cycles are not a surprise anymore :\ Good luck
ooof that's got to be hard, so sorry! good luck to you too!
I hope that you're talking to a doctor who's able to help! I heard an OB say that the recommendation is to try for about a year before looking into any fertility problems, but that advice is meant mainly for people with regular cycles
As one who has done fertility treatments wanted to give you a heads up that the sore boobs is likely from progesterone increasing after ovulation. If you get pregnant your boobs will likely be more sore because progesterone gets even higher. So don’t let the sore boobs get you down!
yeah I heard this could be the case but I don't want to get my hopes up! so if my boobs hurt I just mentally prepare for my period to come but if it doesn't then AYAYAYAYYAYAYYYAYY
Boob pain was the first symptom I noticed during the two week wait before I finally got pregnant! I don't normally experience boob pain with PMS, so it was my first real clue that something was different
@@sarahrigby1341 I got serious boob pain when I got pregnant but sadly we had an angel instead, but every cycle since then I’ve had terrible boob pain 2-5 days before my period comes! So confusing!
Came here to say the same thing! The body has no way of knowing that early if you are pregnant or not. The Luteal phase is body preparing for pregnancy, only towards the end, when no HCG (pregnancy hormone) is detected does the period start. Which is why "early signs of pregnancy" and signs that your period is coming are basically the same thing. A few days after ovulation is way too early to start symptom checking, even though it can be so hard not to.
If you have pcos LH tests are not effective, our eggs are basiclly always ”simmering” being ready to ovulate but never actually getting there. Just as some information that can be good to know!
bumping so more people see
I never knew this!
My endocrinologist told me people with pcos ovulate the same as everybody else.
@@jaytee3129 No, that’s not the case. Not everyone with PCOS has significantly abnormal ovulation, but a substantial proportion do not ovulate, or ovulate infrequently. It’s more or less why PCOS actually affects fertility in the first place, so to speak!
@@kcv0605 I asked my specialist that question and that was her reply, no disrespect.
This series must be so hard for you to make, but it is such an important narrative to be shared and I’m so grateful that you are! Xxx
sending you love!! 💛✨

Hey Tiffany is here! Hello 👋
@@hannahwitton I love you!!!
Hannah: "I'm inputting my data into 5 different apps"
The NSA and the engineers in the Silicon Valley: "Why do we have 5 times the exact same data? Is this woman okay?"
my fiancè and i have been ttc for almost 4.5 years! We need to go through IVF but I get that the months of negative tests and periods are really upsetting! sending you positive baby dust vibes!
Thank you so much for leaving in clips of being disappointed at your period and longing to be pregnant, please continue to do so if you feel comfortable to. We’re 13m into trying, miscarried last year and have just started all the infertility testing etc. Every month I’ve longed for a positive test and cried when my period arrived. Thank you for representing this very real journey. Sending baby dust!❤️
Hannah, thank you! Seeing someone else go through this is so reassuring, thank you for sharing your journey.
Ovulation tests are becoming a fact of life for me unfortunately, I've been advised to get quickly as soon as possible for a few health reasons. It's so stressful trying to conceive, they don't tell you this in school!
These videos are EVERYTHING to me. I’ve been trying to conceive for a few months now. So nice to know I’m not alone in this journey. Wishing you all the luck and science ✨
haha I love that! Wishing you luck and science too!
Each time i did ovulation tests and the first time i was ovulating for the first time properly and had sex a few time a day over the start to end of ovlation after comming off the pill i fell pregnant and then miss carried , misscarry rates are 1 in 4 pregnancies will end in a misscarry stopped trying for a bit and got going again so fell pregnant 2 and half months later with ovulation tracking every day. i now have a 4 and half month old daughter !
U dont need exspencive ovulation strips either , i used a bulk pack off ebay for like £5
I use a period tracking app and then start doing the pee strips near ovulation - the day after ovulation ended.
As a Planning Nut, I am looking ahead about how to conceive, and these videos have come at exactly the right time. Hannah is helping me feel like I have some community and helping me set my expectations, well before we start 'trying'. Already love Hannah (brought here by Jessica Out of the Closet), but this new chapter is just rivetting. Crossing all my fingers and toes for all the parents-to-be out there!

I struggled with infertility and miscarriage for 6 years and finally got my miracle almost 3 years ago now. I know the struggle and I am SO glad you’re making these videos not only to help others but to document your own process. It’s so important.
I'm really loving this series, and its such a vulnerable time in your life to be sharing but it's going to help so many people. Love you Hannah, can't wait to see more!
I’m sorry things aren’t going as smoothly as you hoped. I know it can be so frustrating and disappointing. I just wanted to put it out there for you or others who are trying to conceive that you can buy a like 100 pack of ovulation tests from amazon for basically the same price as 7 of those fancy ones. When my husband and I were trying I bought a pack that had like 200 ovulation strips and 40 pregnancy strips. Really handy, if like me, you have no self control and just take a boat load of tests trying to figure out what is going on.
hahha love that! I bought some pregnancy tests right at the begining of this journey and still haven't used them yet!
@@hannahwitton Does Hannah reply to comments? Imma big fan
2:40 Actually they did tell me this shit in school. It was part of the GCSE Biology Curriculum when I was in Secondary School. Luteinising Hormone and everything, I remember the graph of all the different hormone levels throughout a cycle.
Yeah did this too :)
lucky!
I remember we were taught about the hormones but it was also along the lines on ‘if you have unprotected sex in this window you WILL get pregnant’ which is obviously not the case for everyone
Yes, same! I believe it's just generally part of my province's curriculum but I took IB biology in highschool and we went super in depth!
I remember drawing the graph! But i gave all that info back to my biology teacher its been 7 years since I was doing my O'levels/GCSE equivalent.
My husband and I have been trying for just over a year- it’s honestly such an emotionally exhausting rollercoaster. Especially when everyone around you is announcing their pregnancies left, right and centre :(
feel this 💛

Hubby and I have been trying for a while aswell and I got a large pack of ovulation tests that also has a app (easy@home) I have found them REALLY good and now know my cycle but it is like a punch in the face every time I don't get pregnant and hear another person is pregnant. I just sit back and go 'you fucking kidding me?! School gave you the sense that it would be easy, this is not easy!!! Is there something wrong?' It's tough when you actually want but nothing, yet there is people I know who have got pregnant by accident, HOW
Thank you for always being such a breath of fresh air! We’ve all got our fingers crossed for you and Dan ❤️
This serie is so interesting, thank you for including all of the process, even the down parts
I love the new intro and I love the hormone diaries! It’s so interesting and informative.
thank you so much for this series Hannah! My partner and I are still several years away from kids, but watching this series and learning more about others fertility journey is going to come in handy for when our time comes. The fact that there is so little information out there and available to the public and that it's often hidden behind expensive fertility clinic doors is so ridiculous, really appreciate the honesty and transparency this series brings!
My husband and I have been trying for 8 months with no luck and people keep telling me to relax as it could take a year. To hear that you felt so sad early on is comforting to me because I felt exactly the same. Thanks for sharing your journey and congratulations on your new arrival!
Thank you for being so open and honest and taking us on this journey with you. I think of you often and hope you don't have to wait too long for your baby.
Matt Gray has 2 videos on his channel of him trying and rating non-alcoholic beers! Worth a watch if people are wanting to go alcohol free and want to know which beers to try for themselves
Ooh thank you for the info!
At 3:20 I at first thought she was going to show us a picture of the discharge, when she pulled her phone out XD Honestly, I don't even think it'd be that odd
Hannah, your the best. Really like how you show in each videos the advancement of the knowledge of Ovulation is helping your viewers. Thank you.
Love the new intro!! 💛 Sending love & good vibes for you on your journey ✨
The new intro is fab. Thank you for all this info and explaining it in a way that anybody can understand. Thank you also for being so real and raw. But also pls don't share too much if you don't want to. You evidently have an incredible following and support here and online in general but still. Self care is paramount
Lots of respect for how openly you share your journey! I'm learning a lot, thanks
thank you for sharing your journey so honestly, i love watchng these new hormone diary videos, learning so much! sending you lots of love!! xx
Really enjoying this series :) i recommend the book period power as it is so informative and intuitive about the menstrual cycle. It’s changed my life ;)
oooh love Maisie Hill!
One of the things I love about Hannah is how thorough she is with her videos! It's not like she just wakes up, gets an idea, films it, and posts it. She really plans and builds her content up to be complete from start to finish. Really looking forward to the video on period/pregnancy tracker apps!
So proud of you for putting this whole part of your journey out there. Trying to conceive is SUCH a hard time, I know the feeling of sadness when your period comes. Sending you so much love and baby dust from across the pond! 🤗🤗
I cannot tell you how grateful I am for this content. Thank you hannah. Sending you both love and luck xxx
I CANNOT WAIT for that be t video with the apps! Thank you so much for normalising talking about this
I'm at pharmacy school and literally studied ovulation this morning, now i'm here watching u talking about. Love u and ur content!!
I'm so glad that you will be doing a video about the apps ! I really really need it
All I can think of from your animal ears is "I'm a mouse... duh" 😀😀
I appreciate these videos so much! I, too, am frustrated by how little these types of things are taught or even talked about. I have a 1yo daughter and will likely be starting to try again in the next few months, and this is a helpful reminder that things do not always go as planned and are not always easy. Thank you for helping to normalize the conversation!
-Erin
I'm so excited for you 🤩 I'm glad you decided to film this whole journey because it's not something that we see or hear about often and it's really interesting even if I'm not trying to get pregnant yet. Can't wait for the next video. 💛💛
Great video as always Hannah! Also just wanted to say thank you for being so open and honest about this. It’s such a vulnerable and difficult thing to share, so I think you giving us all of this info, despite all of the personal struggles, shows just how much of a fantastic woman you are. So thank you thank you! Xxx
This is so interesting to watch and I've already learned a lot from The Hormone Diaries, that they definitely didn't tech me in school!
So upsetting to hear that you got so sad. Sending you all my love and positive vibes❤️❤️
so exciting! can’t wait to hear more of your story :)
Have never commented on UA-cam before but had to because this is so relateable! Thank you for making such honest and engaging content about this- I am 1 year TTC and have been scared of the ovulation kits for fear of adding even more anxiety into the already kind of anxious mix so hearing you talk about them in this way has definitely made me feel less alone since I seem to just see so much discourse about people using them. You are fab! ❤️
I’ve never seen anyone document this & it’s so interesting! Thanks for sharing so much with us 👏🏼
This is so interesting. I was very lucky in my conception journey (I have endometriosis so we thought it would take so much longer) so didn't get to the point of looking into ovulation tests and I had absolutely no idea how they worked! Thank you for being so open about this topic as it's very taboo. I feel encouraged to talk about our experiences next time we try in a few years time.
Another great episode! Rooting for you, Hannah! 💛
Now that you've decided to compare cycle tracking apps you'll probably get pregnant immediately and thus won't be able to do the test for another year or two (depending on breast feeding).
Fingers crossed lol
Hah... It was like that for me. We tried for 18 months, I was becoming rather desperate and figured I'd start learning to use a menstrual cup, to get a more positive notion on my period. You guessed it, I used the sucker once and then fell pregnant. I'm doing extended breastfeeding and I am one of the lucky few (unlucky? Because I low key start to want another baby?) who have absolute lactational amenorrhea, meaning my body will not ovulate unless my milk has completely dried. My period has by now been gone for 3 years. I don't even remember where I left the menstrual cup 😂😂😂
Something similar happened to me. I got a new period cup that I was super excited to try...got pregnant right after I got it and still haven’t been able to try it. They call what happened to me “the cup curse” apparently.
If Hannah's date series she launched only to meet Dan is anything to go by, I wouldn't be surprised if this happened!!
Thank you so much for sharing such a personal time with your audience. I think a lot of us can be scared and intimidated when looking into fertility and conception so it’s reassuring to watch someone going through that too!
I have seen many of your videos. You are great! Thank you for all the great info. Your honesty is appriceated, Best of luck getting pregnant!
Part of the cruelty of the "two week wait" is that PMS and early pregnancy feel SO MUCH THE SAME. It's such a time of ups and downs. Wishing you luck!
Hannah you are amazing. Thank you for being so honest and also for including your amazing solo dance party :P
Really enjoying this series, it's so interesting to see the process you are going through and what you understand of the your cycle. As a biology teacher who teachers reproduction topics every year it surprises me what wasn't taught previously (I've been teaching 7 years). I definitely talk more about some of the things you've mentioned wasn't taught a school.
Hi Hannah! Hope you're doing good (in all regards), I really enjoyed the video :) I love the new intro!
I can completely relate to your coping mechanisms. Solo dance parties, lots and lots of alcohol "because why not, you're not pregnant anyhow?". That second half is likely not so healthy, but every once in a while it's not all bad. But I think at this point I've moved past the sad reaction of an unsuccessful cycle, and now I get angry instead, especially at new pregnancy announcements on social media- "Of COURSE they're pregnant with their THIRD child at 26 years old" rage rage rage. I also get angry at "we weren't even trying, it just happened" stories. It's hard. I feel you. Thank you so much for sharing your story in such a public way. It's actually so comforting to see/hear others go through the same struggles you're going through too.
Love this series. New intro is awesome
It hurt my heart when you talked about how sad you were. With those ears you remind me of a small, cute mammal and sad animals get me every time 😭
As someone who is a few months off going off the Pill (for the first time in 12 years) and starting my fertility journey, these are the videos I Most look forward to seeing in my feed. Love and luck to you 💜💜💜
Lol I got a baby born doll ad on this, with a doll that even poos and wees 😂
Hope the fertility journey isn't too long and arduous for you both!!
I hope you have an easy time and here's my prayers that your child is healthy!
Hannah,
Thanks for sharing so openly your journey! I personally found that tracking my cycle with a mixture of temperature, cervical mucus and ... loooooads of time to understand my body, really helped me interpreting my body’s signals when it comes to ovulation.
You’re doing great! I see you’re really, really wanting this - and I wish you all the best on your journey to parenthood!
Looking forward to the cycle tracking app review 👀! Take care!
Very excited about the tracker app video!!
My ovulation has always felt just like that! Very confusing to me in high school, haha. Also, no need to panic immediately about PMS symptoms! The second part of the cycle has higher progesterone levels as part of the preparation for pregnancy, so you'll feel the same whether pregnant or not. Pregnancy hormones (HCG and super high progesterone) "switch on" at implantation, which is typically 10 or so days after ovulation. They build up fairly quickly after that and each person has a different tolerance, but generally you won't feel true pregnancy symptoms til 3-4 weeks after ovulation.
Thank you so much for discussing this, I literally had the exact same process with ovulation tests, I never got a positive result and they just stressed me out so I stopped. Still TTC and have been for 7 months but keeping positive! I really appreciate you talking about this side of fertility, it is rarely spoken about and is so reassuring to hear x
Just starting my trying to concieve journey and am pretty clueless right now besides "Period means no baby" so this is extremely helpful! Thanks for documenting your journey and congrats on your success! x
loving this series & admire your honesty! can’t wait for the app comparison video. i’ve used clue for about 6 years and recently started using natural cycles since coming off the pill last year so would love to hear your opinions! (currently trying to not get pregnant personally, but an accidental pregnancy wouldn’t be the end of the world for us)
I'm loving this series!
I don't know why but the clip of you crushing that can during your dance part sesh just SENT ME 😂
It was sad to hear you've been feeling down about the hard parts of getting pregnant. You're doing so great sharing this journey is giving so many people company and reassurance! Sending all the positive vibes! ✨✨✨✨
This was so very relatable. I’ve been TTC for almost two years. The pressure of hopefulness goes down a little but the disappointment every month when you start to bleed never ever goes away. I think what made it marginally better was like accepting and allowing myself to grieve my missed opportunity. “I shouldn’t be sad” no way. I can be sad as hell and that’s fine. A month is a long fucking time to wait to try again. Also like giving myself a lil self-love. This cycle..I ate half a container of icecream and bought some gardening shit I didn’t need. 😅
I totally get you on the feeling sad every period. When my husband and I were TTC, I would get so upset when my period would show up. It took us about a year of trying to conceive. I remember those feelings so well. Sending you so much love!
So feel this! Trying to concieve is such an emotional rollercoaster. Ovulation tests stressed me out. Fingers crossed for you! Lying here snuggling my 17 week old x
Thank you so much for documenting your journey!! I was just able to get my IUD out last week and I got my first period today ugh. I'm really looking forward to your period app video!!! I need a good one, and it's hard to figure out which one is the best.
I love your honesty, sending you lots of love💕
Perfect timing! I just started tracking my cycle/ovulation as well 2 weeks ago after I got my birth control implant out, but to continue to prevent pregnancy. I have no idea what my body does so this has been a confusing but exciting thing! Glad my journey is aligning with yours!
Halfway through the video, but i’m crossing my fingers for you guys 💛
Loving the new intro ! And you !
I love this series and you being so open! I used fertilityfriend, clunky interface but incredibly detailed and useful alongside temping, and the TFAB subreddit. I did feel like I had to give myself a crash course in fertility and my own body, it was so overwhelming starting to try. Rooting for you! I am now currently 9 months pregnant, hoping it all works for you!
We're trying to conceive right now too and having these videos definitely makes me feel less alone :) And yes to the non-alcoholic beer recommendations please!
We have been struggling with infertility for 3.5 years and started doing follicle stimulating injections for our first round of IVF. I hope you have a shorter journey than we have. Thank you for sharing! And for those who have never dealt with infertility, please don’t tell couples to relax, stop stressing, take a vacation, or take a break. These will not cure infertility. I have done all of these things and have not gotten pregnant once. I see this advice so often and it does not help. Thanks for reading!
I’ve gone back and forth between using and not using ovulation tests during the past 7 months. Trying to conceive is so difficult and up and down emotionally! Love this series 🤗
Currently a year in ttc, going through testing as I don't ovulate, and every few months I rewatch this series and every time its helpful and helps me to de-stress. Thank you for making this series ❤️ (ovulated for the first time this month, woohoo!)
i only get ovulation pain every so often, but where you pointed to on your abdomen is about where that pain is.
I'm really enjoying these videos. I'm looking at coming off the pill at either the end of this year or the start of next year, so I can start trying for a baby after I get married. I'm super nervous about it as I have really bad anxiety about having a period due to severe pain, but I'm also ready for it and excited. Looking forward to the next video!
Good luck to you and thank you for sharing your journey with us!!
i LOVE the new intro!!
Sending you both all the love in the world!!! Have my fingers and toes crossed you’ll be pregnant soon!!
Here on this journey with you! I am on cycle three. Fingers crossed for us all!
I’m so glad you are sharing this journey with us. I would like to start trying to conceive in the near future and I fear I won’t be able to get pregnant or it will take a long time. So these videos make me feel less alone and give me a bit more understanding of what to expect!
I love the new intro!!!
really looking forward to your fertility app video! Thank you so much for taking us with you in your journey, I am not there yet but find it very interesting to look at it from the not pregnant yet perspective.
Hope for the best for you!! Your baby will be so loved
I bought a massive stock pile of ovulation strips from Amazon for much cheaper. Kinda like those dip pregnancy test strips. Look cheap but worked for me! Good luck x
the whole time i kept thinking of sierra schultzzie's vlogs on trying to ger pregnant where she bought these huge boxes of ovulation tests from amazon i think and then she would input a picture of her test into the app she was using and that over time started to become more accurate?
but you know if ovulation tracking doesnt work it doesnt work! good luck!
The Premom app!
The Premom app! It's FANTASTIC!
Yes definitely. Also Femometer - you take a pic of it and it measures how strong the line is
New intro is to die for
Also thinking about starting our TTC journey in the next few months but like you have irregular cycles anywhere from 30 to 60 days and have come up empty when looking online for others having the same dilemma about figuring out when I ovulate so this was so needed and I feel like I'm not so alone! sending lots of positive vibes your way and hoping it happens for you soon 🤞 x
Your experience with testing and tracking has been really similar to mine. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I haven't told many people that we're trying and it feels lonely sometimes. 💕
Truth be told, I have not watched this yet. I was just so endeared by your episode thumbnail for this with you staring at the ovulation stuff with wide eyes. You are soooooooo entertaining, even though I have plenty of times watched you deliver on something serious. But most of the time you have some percent serious or informative content and some percent with something amusing. And yes, i am a male, but I think your great and you really help me understand female emotions or anatomy.
I totally completely identify with the second guessing, confusion, and heartbreak that TTC brings. Been TTC for almost two years now with two losses. I’ve done the super expensive clear blue ovulation tests but once I learned my body’s rhythm and ovulation signs I found I didn’t need them anymore. Now I’ve ramped up and we’re doing medically assisted cycles with injectables and suppositories. It is INTENSE. I thought I was being hyper-vigilant and obsessive before? No. Not even close. I’m resting and taking a break next cycle after ending up in the ER with ovarian hyperstimulation last week. It’s just been so hard on the old mental health!!! I hear of someone else getting pregnant and I’m like “how??? That’s AMAZING!!!” Anyway, thank you so much for bringing back and making this series. The dialogue matters SO much.
Hi. Sending you all the love and positive wishes for this journey!
Thank you for sharing your journey with us Hannah, I love hearing you talk us through it and I'm learning so many new things! I'm sorry this is more frustrating than you thought, I know my mom took some time to get pregnant too but hey! Now both my sister and I are here watching your videos, hehe :) x Hang in there! I'm sure you guys will be alright
YES TEMPERATURE TAKING! I did that and it became super clear after just a few cycles when I was ovulating- the best part is that it will tell you when you ovulate even if it isn’t on a consistent day each cycle (at one point line varied by almost two weeks...!)
