I've used the fertility awareness method for over five years. This year, I started using ovulation test strips (OPKs and Proov's progesterone test kit) to get even more information about my cycle.
In this video, I'm going to share with you my favorite LH test kit, my thoughts on the Proov test, apps I've tried, and what I'm currently using to chart my cycle.
While I'm not a fertility awareness educator, I do use cycle tracking with my nutrition and yoga clients to get a good feel for how their menstrual cycles are going. I hope this video encourages you to explore fertility awareness for yourself.
Plus, I’ve got a very special giveaway for you! Two winners will receive a Proov Predict and Confirm Kit.
Want to enter? Comment below with a new video suggestion or question. You must be 18 years old or older and a US resident. Giveaway closes on December 21, 2020 at 11:59 pm.
Prizes:
- 2 winners will receive 1 Proov Predict and Confirm Kit.

Thanks so much for watching! Make sure to comment below to enter the giveaway!
Hi! Have you heard of the app Read Your Body ?
I have! I haven’t tried it yet but a lot of people on Instagram have recommended it.
@@LiveFertile i love it too! They have a free trial of 30 days, so you could try it and compare to kindara!
@@gretagre2579 Nice! I'm trying out a different app now so it'll be a while before I get around to Read Your Body, but it is on my list. Thanks!
This is one of the clearest, most succinct, and informative FAM videos I have EVER watched!!! Thank you Kendra!
Aww, thanks, Anna.🤗 That's very kind.
Thanks for this! I’ve always thought the FAM method was strictly for pregnancy but there’s so much more we can learn from our body & health with this method - it’s very underrated but helpful to me as someone with PCOS!
Yes! It really is about getting to know our own bodies. Body literacy is a beautiful thing.
Woah! Stress lengthens my cycles. Specifically, I will ovulate at a normal time but then have longer luteal phases by an entire week sometimes. It has been discouraging because many FAM educators preach that if your period is late, it means you ovulated late. But that is just how stress manifests in my body and I have had to trust my intuition and my FAM tools on that one. I think the most important part, which you articulate and embody well, is that every body is unique and our most effective family planning is our own body knowledge! Love you sister ♥
Hi there! I love that you trust your own experience. I'm super curious about the mechanism behind a longer luteal phase under stress. I'm going to do some digging and see what I come up with. Thank you for your comment!
@@LiveFertile hello! Thank you for your reply. Just for more specifics, the few times that I have had a late cycle, it usually happens when I get ill or take a trip after ovulation. Like I had a 38 day cycle where I ovulated normally, but then got food poisoning a few days later and this prolonged my luteal phase. I'm also very curious about the mechanisms because the only things that I find are PCOS (which I have no other symptoms of) or short luteal phases (which I have never had).
@@thesoundsofearth4454 Thank you for the additional information! I'm starting a fertility awareness method teacher training this week. Hopefully I get some answers about what might be going on!
Same here re lengthened cycle
I have struggled with getting a period back and slowly have been getting a longer luteal phase so the PROOV would be awesome!
I'm wishing you all the best, Brooke!

@@LiveFertile thank you so much! I just emailed you!
Fantastic job of making this so easy to understand and comprehensive 😍
Thank you, Elizabeth!
I hope you can add more videos for couple’s yoga. This will really help couples to connect more.
Thank you for the suggestion! I'll see what I can do!
Strength training is good for PCOS so maybe a video of faster or challenging vinyasa flow to build strength. Thanks!
Great suggestion, Jennifer. Thanks!
This is amazing Kendra...I follow you pretty closely and love your yoga videos 🥰

Such an amazing video !

Great info.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Do you have any recommendations for someone not wanting to use condoms during ovulation? Any thoughts on spermicide or something similar? Also is there a waiting period to start tracking after stopping birthcontrol for your cycle to become more regular? Do you have any tips for switching off of birthcontrol to this method?
Hi there! I highly recommend the resources by Lisa Hendrickson-Jack (fertilityfriday.com/) and Clara Bailey (www.clarabailey.com/). And I believe Maven Clinic (mavenclinic.com) has fertility awareness educators you can meet with virtually, one-on-one to give you personalized guidance.
If you have pcos, and you have cervical mucus does that mean you have ovulated?
Hi Kelsey. Good question. The short answer is, no. Typically, the presence of cervical mucus is a sign that your body is preparing to ovulate, not that it has already ovulated. Post ovulation, cervical mucus begins to dry up.
Did you have a chance to watch this video? ua-cam.com/video/pvUd9mPCsl0/v-deo.html
Caitlin does a great job explaining cervical mucus and what it reveals about where you are in your cycle if you have PCOS. I also recommend looking into Clara Bailey’s and Lisa Hendrickson-Jack’s work.
Hope that helps!
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
Where’s the link to the video?
Hi Renae. This video was uploaded over a year ago, I don't recall which video I mentioned I would link to. Can you tell me which video you're referring to so I can point you to it?
🌸🌸
Thank you!
You're welcome!
