SUMMER BREAK is upon us! Woven Well will be back with more new episodes July 5th!
Choosing to learn a fertility awareness method can feel scary and daunting -- but what about when you're in a very busy, stressful season of life? Is it worth it to try? Should you wait until things slow down? These are good, valid questions! I asked client, Claire, to share a bit of her story and experience learning Creighton, since she learned Creighton while in Medical School! Wow! She shares what was hard about learning during that time, what made the difference in her learning process, and her advice to other ladies discerning the best time to begin to learn Creighton.
NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences.
GUEST BIO:
Claire is a family medicine resident physician. She is a native of the Alabama Gulf Coast, where she lives with her husband and their labrador, Chief. Claire enjoys baking, bird watching, and yoga.SHOW NOTES:

After delivery, women have a 6 week check up with their OBGYN when they are given the "all clear" to return to intercourse. But is it really the right time?

I'm frequently asked how clients can share fertility suggestions with their friends. They want to share the exciting things they're learning through their own fertility education process, but don't want to overstep or say the wrong thing. This is especially true when it comes to IVF alternatives. Many ladies talk to friends who hate the IVF process, and yet their friends aren't sure how to suggest alternatives. This episode is designed for those who want to meet their friends where they are and provide a hopeful, supported alternative to fertility treatments that may not be serving them well. Enjoy these tips that can be applied to all sorts of fertility related conversations among friends! This could apply to in vitro fertilization, birth control, IUD use, recurrent pregnancy loss or miscarriage, and more.

Client, Sarah, joins me today to talk about her story of years long infertility and how working with the right providers along the way allowed her to welcome to her son last summer.

Hear what tools her providers used, how she partnered with her providers (like through the Creighton Model System), issues diagnosed and treated (like endometriosis, ovarian cysts, uterine infection, scar tissue and adhesions, etc), and how she knew when it was time to begin working with someone new. Listen to the end, because she provides her main tip for other women fearful of unexplained infertility!

Progesterone is an incredibly vital reproductive hormone that's responsible for many aspects of overall health. When it's not doing what it should be, it stands out! Issues like PMS/PMDD, implantation failure, early miscarriage, and postpartum depression can all be due to low progesterone! In order to address these issues at their source, it's best to first learn as much as we can about Progesterone. Today's episode shares a great introduction, including what it is, how it functions, how to tell if it may be low, and the process in diagnosis and treatment. You'll even learn about bioidentical progesterone vs. progestin!

Dr. Sarah Pederson joins us to talk about fertility tests that are often ignored in traditional approaches to women's health, but are key to getting to the root cause of issues related to women's health. We started off the episode talking about issues related to infertility, but quickly came to the conclusion that these tests were not only beneficial when trying to get pregnant, but for all women's reproductive health -- regardless of pregnancy goal, marital status, etc! Dr. Pederson talks about her holistic approach to women's health and her many tools that she utilizes to diagnose and treat women's health issues related to things like endometriosis, inflammation, vaginal microbiome issues, infections, hormone imbalances, psychological stress, and more.

Chronic Endometritis doesn't always have many symptoms, yet it can affect your cycle health and contribute to infertility and pregnancy loss. What is this silent condition and how can you know if it's affecting you? This episode explores what endometritis is, how to diagnose and treat it, while also explaining its differences from acute endometritis (and endometriosis, which is a separate condition). If you're experiencing unexplained infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss (miscarriage), you may want to explore the possibility of chronic endometritis. Charting your cycles with the Creighton Model System may help you to spot this possibility earlier, and work with a NaProTechnology provider in order to heal.

You'll hear ClearBlue Fertility Monitor, Ava, TempDrop, Kegg, Ovusense, Mira, and Inito Fertility Monitors all mentioned -- but which ones will be "worth it?"

Adoption can be a beautiful picture of the gospel -- we are welcomed as heirs into God's inheritance of love and eternal life. But does that mean all Christians should adopt? I chat with Kelley Ramsey, co-founder and visionary of Waiting in Hope Ministries, as we share some real talk on adoption. Working in a ministry focused on infertility, Kelley shares what role adoption should and could play in the lives of couples struggling to grow their family. We also talk about questions for adoption agencies, how to view a birthmother, and Christian adoption resources. Whether you are planning to adopt, discerning adoption, or are new to the topic, this episode will be helpful for you!

Choosing which form of Natural Family Planning (NFP) to use can take some time and intentionality! There are many to choose from, so understanding the methods, their effectiveness, and which will work best for you can help ensure the most success and satisfaction! Natural Family Planning is not birth control or contraception, but a way to truly understand and engage with your reproductive health and fertility. You may have heard the term Fertility Awareness Based Method used, and often these are used interchangeably with NFP (although some categorize them separately). Some of these methods include, Creighton Model System, FEMM, Marquette Method, and SymptoThermal (couple to couple league, Justisse, SymptoPro, etc). Today's episode will help give you an overview and help you take your next step in pursuing Natural Family Planning!

Pregnancy loss is devastating, and not having answers for why it happens makes a heartbreaking reality even more painful. Dr. Mangubat joins us to share the different categories of miscarriage and more information on one of the less discussed areas: reproductive immunology. Dr. Mangubat studied at Rosalind Franklin University RI clinic under Dr. Kwak Kim, and shares how our immunological system could cause miscarriages, and who may be at risk.
NOTE: This episode does discuss the topic of pregnancy loss.
