Your fertility is yours. It has always been yours. And it’s time to take it back.

You’ve just started trying for a baby or maybe it hasn’t happened yet for you after trying for a few months. So where do you go from here?

Step 1: Figure out if you are ovulating

Step 2: Know when you are ovulating

Step 3: Make use of you fertile window

That may seem really easy and straight forward – which is is – BUT if you haven’t actively looked at this yet, from now on you are going to increase your chances of falling pregnant faster significantly when you do! 

With my course Your Fertile Window, you can learn to do exactly that as well as find out if your cycles are healthy enough to fall pregnant.

You’re massively underusing your chart.
It doesn’t just show ovulation.
It shows patterns.

And those patterns tell you what’s actually going on.

Most women never learn how to read that.
Inside CIYC, you do.

You open your chart and your eyes go straight to the one thing that looks different.
A slightly lower temperature than yesterday.
One day of less mucus than last cycle.
A shift in the pattern you were hoping to see again.

Suddenly it’s not just a dot that moved.

It’s:
“Is this early menopause?”
“Is this my thyroid?”
“Was that failed implantation?”
“Did I not ovulate this cycle?”

You scroll back through old cycles to compare.

Was it always like this?
Was it better last time?
Is this the month it tips from “okay” to “not okay”?

You zoom in on tiny variations.
Every dip, every wobble, every off day.
Normal fluctuations start to feel like clues you should be decoding.

And before you know it, you’re not really looking at the whole chart anymore.

You’re looking for evidence.

...

When you look at your charts, which camp are you in?

Camp ‘fine’:
Your chart looks familiar, nothing jumps out as urgent, and after a while “I always see this” has started to feel like “this must be normal.”

Camp ‘everything is wrong’:
Every dip feels like bad news, every irregularity becomes something to overthink, and the whole chart starts to look like evidence that your body isn’t cooperating.

Whichever camp you’re in, your brain has already decided what your chart means. 

Fine. Not fine.
Normal. Not normal.

But in either camp, one simple and crucial question doesn’t get answered:

Do your charts actually look healthy enough for pregnancy… or not?

And no, you don’t have to untangle that alone at 10pm, scrolling back through old charts.

Pop me the word "IDEAL" in my DM, to check that with Ideal Charts.

You’re watching the lines and symbols pile up… but nothing’s changing. Suddenly the bin as a new home for your thermometer looks very attractive.

When you start charting, it can be pretty exciting. Yoi get yourself some neat tools, find your window, grab it, catch the egg. 🥚

At first it feels hopeful: finally something concrete to do, something to measure.

But then the months pass, your charts fill with lines and symbols… but still not pregnant.

Slowly those lines stop feeling helpful and start feeling like a reminder of everything that isn’t working.

So you skip a morning.
You stop updating the app.
You don’t replace the thermometer battery.

Because looking at your chart has started to cost more energy than it gives back.

During your extended “break” you secretly hope something shifts on its own.

But underneath that, something is still gnawing at you:

What are my charts actually saying?

...

Mid-cycle spotting? Progesterone.
Short cycles? Progesterone.
Miscarriages? Progesterone.
Not getting pregnant? Try progesterone.

You feel relief. Finally, something tangible that might lead to that positive test.

It’s one of the places I see women get stuck all the time. 

Sometimes progesterone really is low.
But the question underneath it — why — never gets asked, let alone addressed.

Other times, it isn’t clearly low at all.
It’s just the most obvious lever available.

If progesterone isn’t the actual bottleneck, supplementing it won’t change anything.

And even if it is low, raising the number doesn’t automatically resolve what caused it to drop in the first place.

Cycle after cycle passes.
Periods still arrive.
Ovulation still doesn’t happen.
Or losses continue.

Progesterone has its place.
But when it becomes the default focus, other important pieces can remain untouched.

That’s how what seems like a quick fix becomes one of the easiest places to get stuck.

If you want to check whether your focus has narrowed to progesterone while other areas are being missed, the Fertile 5 Checklist helps you zoom out.

You may not need to chart at all to get pregnant.

When things line up, libido goes up when you’re fertile, cervical mucus is obvious, and you don’t have to read body signals, you just follow them naturally.

But for many couples that I meet, that feedback loop isn’t so clear anymore.

Life is busy. 
Stress is high. 
Cycles are irregular. 
Libido is lower. 

Or they’ve been trying for a long time.

And that's the perfect mix for missing your fertile days month after month.
