Length. (Of your luteal phase, that is) Those couple of weeks in the lead-up to your next period are too often given a bad rap. This is when a lot of women experience those fun PMS symptoms, and if you’re trying to conceive, it’s the two week wait from hell.

You’re slowly building your confidence with tracking your cycle every day. You feel like you’ve finally made sense of your cervical mucus patterns every month and it’s time to start tracking your daily body temperature too.

When you’re trying to get pregnant, it’s normal to be very aware of your body and notice every tiny change that happens, wondering if it’s a sign of pregnancy. The frustrating part is that so many of the early signs of pregnancy and implantation are very similar to PMS, so...2021-05-1116 minFertility co.Why you should track your menstrual cycle (even if you're not trying to get pregnant)Send us a textI’m not currently trying to get pregnant, so why do I care when I’m ovulating? Why would I bother charting and tracking my fertile signs when I have no intention of conceiving? Your fertility is so much more than making babies.

Like our teenage years aren’t angsty enough without having to experience the highs and lows of breakouts too. But once we make it to the other side of puberty, not all of us emerge with clear skin.
