    Thank you for your video. It's, at least, comforting to know I'm not the only woman experiencing my "reason" and it's, at most, good to understand what my body is doing and what questions I might ask my care provider. That's empowering as a woman!
    The only thing I didn't understand was why you said "person with a period." We should be proud to be women. Men can not do what we do. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
    Thanks again for such an informative video!

    Yup, I am the 5% that spots around ovulation. Didn't know it was a thing until I was well into my 30s. Doctors didn't explain it, but told me the pill would resolve it. I regret that decision because my tubes were already tied and the pill should not be a bandaid. I wish the OBs would have given the knowledge not the prescription.

      I'm spotting however it started a day after my ovulation and google says its Ovulation Bleeding. First time I knew and experienced it as well, I'm 31. I wished its implantation bleeding however too early, definitely an ovulation bleeding.

    • @CrystalKennings
      @CrystalKennings  3 роки тому +9

      Hey Tina! That's a great question. Low progesterone levels can make maintaining a pregnancy in the first trimester more difficult. So while it doesn't mean you are less fertile, it does mean it can make things more difficult if trying to keep a pregnancy going. Thankfully there's a lot you can do to support progesterone levels (less stress, magnesium/B6 supplements, vitamin C rich foods, prioritizing self care, sleep and regular exercise!).

    I've never had spotting before when I did firtility treatments, but I am spotting after taking pills that are supposed to help me ovulate. Last time I went to the firtility doctor they gave me clomed and it took a few tries and one miscarriage, but we did have a baby. This time, 4 years later, we're trying again with a firtility doctor and she's different then the other ones we went to, she gave me something she said is like clomed but not going to hurt the lining like clomed did which cause a miscarriage the first time we tried. I like that it doesn't hurt the lining, but I don't know how good this other type of pills are ether. I felt they where weak and not working cause I didn't get much ovulation symptoms like I did with clomed, and now I'm spotting. I hope that's actually ovulation happening. :/ and this video made me worry about the other reasons that aren't good things. I better not being going through early menopause at age 33.

So looks like It never completely stopped. Then on 1/7/23, the period begin again but not heavy. When I whip sometimes I see bright red & other times it’s dark red.
