Cycle Savvy:
Understand and Leverage Your Menstrual Cycle
Whether you just want to learn more about your body, are trying to get pregnant, want to avoid pregnancy without traditional birth control, or are having bothersome symptoms and want more clarity in what to do next, this class is for you!
Becca’s Journey:
“I struggled for years with abnormal cycles, menstrual pain, horrible side effects from birth control medications, and fertility struggles. The frustration, isolation, and feeling dismissed from providers was exhausting. Eventually, a friend introduced me to cycle tracking. I was able to present new information to my medical team so that we could target my treatments to the underlying causes of my issues and I was even able to get pregnant. Tracking my cycle in postpartum was useful too in order to monitor my hormonal recovery and plan my next pregnancy. Now, I still use cycle tracking as a way to track my overall health and to avoid pregnancy without medication. Understanding and tracking my menstrual cycle has been life-changing for me and I can’t wait to share this tool with others!”
