In today's episode, Clare and Emma delve deep into the topic of ovulation, exploring the importance of understanding when you are ovulating, regardless of whether you are trying to conceive, avoid pregnancy, or become more in tune with your body.

Ovulation is something we should’ve been taught at school, but weren’t! And as a result, there are many common misconceptions, such as the assumption that all women ovulate on day 14 of their cycle. In today’s episode, Clare and Emma unpack these common misconceptions and reveal why methods like ovulation predictor kits and certain apps may not be reliable, especially for women with PCOS.

The episode emphasises the significance of being in tune with one’s body and highlights how identifying ovulation accurately can provide valuable insights into your health and fertility.

In this podcast we'll be diving into:

The phases of the menstrual cycle and explaining hormone fluctuations
The importance of ovulation
Challenges with PCOS and ovulation
Common misconceptions and tracking methods

Take the Ovie questionnaire and figure out the best PCOS management plan for you.

The Vaginal Microbiome and PCOS with Angela Heap 59:06

4 วันที่แล้ว59:06

59:06

Today on PCOS Explained , we’re revisiting a fascinating conversation with my good friend Angela Heap , a leading fertility nutritionist, who shares groundbreaking research on how the microbial balance in the vagina and uterus could influence everything from conception to miscarriage risk. We’ve all heard about the gut microbiome, but did you know that your vaginal microbiome plays a crucial role in reproductive health? Angela breaks down how specific bacteria help protect against infections, support implantation, and even impact pregnancy outcomes . She also explains why women with PCOS often have a disrupted vaginal microbiome , how this could contribute to fertility challenges, and what steps can be taken to restore balance. We get into the latest testing options for assessing the vaginal microbiome, why misdiagnosed recurrent infections could be harming your fertility , and how a tailored approach—not a one-size-fits-all treatment—is key to restoring a healthy environment. Plus, Angela shares real-world case studies where microbiome interventions have led to successful pregnancies. If you’ve struggled with recurrent thrush, bacterial vaginosis, unexplained infertility, or multiple miscarriages , this episode is a must-listen. We also discuss practical ways to improve your microbiome through nutrition, probiotics, and targeted treatments —without falling for ineffective, trendy “fixes” like vaginal cleansing products.
