On this episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday,' Dr. Mark Amols delves into the often misunderstood relationship between menstruation and ovulation. Just like we assume thunder follows lightning, it's a common belief that a menstrual period always means ovulation has occurred. However, this isn't always the case.
Dr. Amols begins by breaking down the menstrual cycle into its two main phases: the follicular and luteal phases. He explains the roles of hormones such as FSH, estrogen, and progesterone in regulating these phases and preparing the body for a potential pregnancy.
Listeners will learn how and why anovulatory cycles happen—situations where the ovaries do not release an egg, yet menstrual-like bleeding still occurs. Dr. Amols discusses various factors leading to anovulation, including stress, hormonal imbalances, PCOS, and significant weight changes. He highlights the signs to watch for and explains how bleeding without ovulation can still happen.
The episode also covers methods to diagnose anovulation, such as ovulation predictor kits, progesterone level tests, and modern fertility apps. Dr. Amols offers practical advice on managing and treating anovulatory cycles to help those trying to conceive or seeking to understand their menstrual health better.
Tune in to uncover the truth about your menstrual cycle, and learn why having a period doesn't always mean you're ovulating. Don't miss this informative and eye-opening episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday.'
