How I Track My Cycle Using the Fertility Awareness Method + OPKs * Giveaway Now Closed*

    
     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.

Thanks so much for watching! Make sure to comment below to enter the giveaway!

This is one of the clearest, most succinct, and informative FAM videos I have EVER watched!!! Thank you Kendra!

[oreos]

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!

[thesoundsofearth]

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 ♥

This is a great reminder. Thanks for the recommendation of app!

[juliannekelly]

This would really help me as we are a year into trying for baby number 2. PCOS make the process so hard. Thank you for a you do! I enjoy what you share!

[elizabethphillips]

Fantastic job of making this so easy to understand and comprehensive 😍

[brookemastin]

I have struggled with getting a period back and slowly have been getting a longer luteal phase so the PROOV would be awesome!

[gauriepuri]

This is amazing Kendra...I follow you pretty closely and love your yoga videos 🥰

[razores]

I hope you can add more videos for couple’s yoga. This will really help couples to connect more.

[jenniferbarnett]

Strength training is good for PCOS so maybe a video of faster or challenging vinyasa flow to build strength. Thanks!

[jaidawaggoner]

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?

[kelseyfarr]

If you have pcos, and you have cervical mucus does that mean you have ovulated?
