I have learnt a lot. Offensive hardly, if people do not want to learn about their bodies and face facts, that is their problem.

Thank you again.

This is what we do in the clinic – there are many ways. We’d need more information but remember stress will influence ovulation over all.

Bleeding (not a period) can happen when there is a change in hormones – not enough to influence ovulation.

As far as damp – try eating warm and cooked foods rather than raw foods for a little while – I bet much of what you are saying here will dissipate.

Cleanse would be a great start – but I suggest a TCM practitioner.

I was wondering if you could explain what is happening when you have irregular periods? I can have anywhere from 6 weeks to 4 months between periods after coming off the pill July last year.

Are there ways I can promote a more regular cycle and I’m assuming this would be effecting my fertility?!

Thanks! 🙂

That heathtalk and the above was really informative – particularly because I seem to have a “wet phase” (ovulation), following which I’m dry but then do get some “moist”ness (but not wet). I think I’ve always had this (I remember thinking when I first starting menstruating that it was a sign that my period was coming). But it makes sense for me because I have PCOS and I definitely have ovulation issues because I have low progesterone levels/get brown staining.

I started menstruating again last year (yay!) and since then I have had short luteal phases (around 5 days). I recently started working with a holistic doctor who has prescribed vitex and bio identical progesterone after ovulation for my low progesterone levels. But, surely there is more that I can do to help my body out (especially because I see the progesterone as a short term thing)? As for “excess damp”, I wonder if that could be toxins sticking around (I’m already eating 98% gluten and dairy free)? (I have cellulite, pimples and extra fat that just won’t go away. I have also historically had digestive issues but this has improved significantly since I started meditating).

I’m quite curious about exploring the chinese medicine perspective but unfortunately I’m not in Australia – are there any resources you could recommend? (chinese medicine for women’s health and anything informative on this topic would be awesome) I want to give my new doctor a good go and I’m not sure how trying to do both holistic and chinese medicine would work out – too many cooks in the kitchen?

On another note – could you also explain how periods happen when you don’t ovulate? Is it progesterone made by the adrenals that keeps the lining in place?

What should I do if I suspect excess dampness, is this something a cleanse could help with or should I visit an acupuncturist/TCM practitioner? Or have you written a post on this in the past? I have a heavy period and it lasts for about 6 days and I get quite painful menstrual cramps. Thanks again!

Educational more like it. You are a woman who I hold nothing but respect for & I have never found you as offensive. Thank you for caring about the health of women.
