Episode notes
Track Your Cycle As A Vital Sign
- Track your menstrual cycles because your cycle is the "fifth vital sign" and key to fertility.
- Talk to a physician if cycles are irregular or you’re considering preservation to get a real assessment.
Birth Control Masks, It Rarely Stops Fertility
- Birth control pills create a hormonal steady state so withdrawal bleeds are not real periods.
- Pills mask spontaneous cycles but generally don't permanently stop ovulation once stopped.
Give Two Months After Stopping Pills
- After stopping birth control expect a real period within 35 days and monitor another cycle to confirm regularity.
- Seek medical advice if you don’t resume normal cycles within two months.
