BUSTED - Five of the top misconceptions I hear in the female hormonal health realm.

1. PMS/period pain or disruption during your periods is normal.
2. You can get pregnant any time you have unprotected intercourse (little ears warning on this one, unprotected sex and pregnancy is discussed in detail so you may want to listen alone, then have conversations with daughters post-listen in age appropriate language).
3. The ‘pill’ regulates your hormones.
4. If you have PCOS/endometriosis/heavy menstruation/low iron that the pill is your only option.
5. That PCOS can be diagnosed from an ultrasound.

In unpacking these myths I discuss some really important concepts for women’s health.

- What is a ‘normal period’?
- How much is ‘normal’ bleeding?
- Your fertile days and how to find them as well as Fertility Awareness Method (FAM)
- What the pill is actually doing to your hormones.
- The importance of our cycle now, for predicting out longevity and quality of life as a woman in the future.
- The blood test you need to see before diagnosing PCOS
- The four driving causes to PCOS

This episode is also a MUST listen for parents of daughters, particularly mother’s of daughters.
