    Thank you for your sharings . What you are saying makes a lot of sense. However, beware of not giving women too much hope, especially with catchy titles like most KZreadrs. Sometimes everything is fine with us women, the issues a lot of the times come from men (hypogonadism, low level of testosterone, low sperm count , motility and/or morphology). I have been trying for a year now for baby number 3, since last year my husband has been suffering from low testosterone level, and only 3% of his sperm has normal morphology. Hence, no matter what I do to improve my physical and mental state, this will not change anything as the problem comes from him. It s good to motivate women and thank you for that but it is also important to make them aware that there are other parameters that are out of their control. Thank you

Also, during FET, is red meat and hemp powder not a good thing to have? My doctor says it's fine but I don't think he even knew what that is. And when they say more protein, how can you eat more of it when I feel full quick eating healthy foods. 😅

    Dr. Shahine I would love to know your thoughts on the benefits of melatonin supplementation for ovulation. I studied my cycle for a year with LH testing before beginning trying to concieve, and came across some pretty impressive studies. I was consistantly ovulating on day 18-19, and taking 5 mg melatonin every evening has moved my ovulation to day 14-15 for the last 6 months.

    I recently weaned from breastfeeding (14 months) I only weaned b/c my cycle had not come back and we are wanting to have another baby sooner rather than later. I started tracking my cycle again in January (this was my first full cycle) . I ovulated on day 13 but my luteal phase was short. (yes, I panicked) Now on cycle 2 I am on cycle day 15 and I have not ovulated yet. (yes, I am panicking again) Is it normal to have such abnormal periods? Previously before giving birth I always ovulated between cd 12-14 and my cycles were roughly 26-27 days long. I'm currently testing for ovulation with OPK's. I also recently added the Tempdrop to the mix b/c I was unable to take my bbt at the same time every day due to the little one waking up randomly throughout the night. This was going to be our first cycle to try to conceive again.
