Jess answers your question: how do you know when your ovulating. This episodes breaks down the three biological signs your body gives you for free to identify ovulation, and why understanding your own cycle is the most powerful foundation of your fertility journey.

In This Episode:

Why most women were never taught about ovulation, and why that's not your fault

The #1 most important ovulation sign: cervical fluid, what it is, how it changes throughout your cycle, and what healthy versus concerning discharge looks like

How to check your cervix at home and what the change in texture and position tells you about where you are in your cycle

Basal body temperature (BBT): how it works, what it reveals about your whole cycle health (including whether you're pregnant before a test can tell you), and the warning about when it becomes too much

The honest truth about ovulation predictor kits (OPKs): why I'm not a fan, and when they can actually mislead you into missing bigger issues

A real client story: what happened when someone relied exclusively on OPKs for months and missed crucial cycle information

When to stop self-tracking and take your questions to your practitioner
