Thank you Dr.! I have been watching your videos this evening because unfortunately, I have been having problems with my menstruation. You and your videos have been soooo, soooo helpful! THANK YOU! ❤
Thanks so much Natalie!! I'm from Australia and have been following you on instagram for some time now! I find your messages and material so accessible, engaging, empowering and informative! Loved this video and found your explanations so helpful. I am really keen to see what's to come and would be interested to learn more about painful periods in the future if that's at all possible. We still have such a long way to go in terms of making discussion about women's reproductive function a normal part of life. I remember growing up thinking that it was normal to be in so much pain during menstruation and that fainting was just part and parcel of having periods. Thank you for all that you do in this space Natalie :)
Hey Dr. Natalie! I really appreciate how you explain the science of egg development. The visuals were really great! I'll remember these the next time I'm talking about the cycle!
Hello! Thank you so much for your video! Very informative! I have a couple of questions: -How many days after ovulation do you have until your next period starts? - what happens to the follicles that are not matured in the ovaries? -How long does the corpus luteum stay in the ovaries and where does it go once it’s job is complete? Thank you, Doctor, for your time in making these videos! I believe all women should be experts on their own menstral cycle and you are definitely helping in that area! Cant wait to see your video on PCOS!!
To answer your question about ovulation and follicles...the day after ovulation, your luteal phase starts. That usually lasts most women 11-16 days. The follicles that don't mature in the ovary, stay in the ovary and wait to be chosen to mature!
This was explained very well! I found your channel from your Instagram. I’m currently 6w3d pregnant & love your videos! Our bodies are truly amazing💖 Thank you Dr. Crawford
Many women who go raw vegan stop having periods or they get extremely lite and not every month, have you looked into that? I noticed this myself when I was younger and shifted my diet to primarily vegan. The pain goes away also.
Wonderfully explained! I still wonder when is the best time to measure Progesterone levels (in order to determine if a woman is likely to have an insufficient Corpus luteum and will need some extra Progesterone to keep a pregnancy... :) ) Thank you Nat, awesome work. Michaela
Hi! progesterone varies between 3-40 ng/mL throughout the luteal phase - depends on time drawn to a normal LH pulse. So many good studies have shown that checking progesterone in the luteal phase is not helpful except to confirm ovulation. Women who need extra progesterone are those who may have sings of luteal phase deficiency (short luteal phase, luteal spotting) or prior pregnancy loss. Thank you!!!
As a nearly 30 year old women it's crazy to me how little I have understood about this key aspect of my body and what I have put in my system (ie the Pill) to modulate it. Defs learnt the basics as a kid but Not in detail, and it's all so blurry.
When our period starts as spotting, it means that progesterone needs some support. Progesterone is responsible for excreting all the blood from our uterus and vaginal canal. If you have spotting, that is usually left over blood from your last cycle. Do you know how to support progesterone with nutrition and exercise?
Hello, may I ask you a question about period and pregnancy? I am 44 years old , always had regilar periods. I 'm trying to get pregnant and I'm using sticks to find out my ovulation. I usually have a period that lasts 26-27 days and my ovulation around 13 or 14 days. I had my last period on September the 25th and my ovulation was on 7th of October. I still don't have my period and it's about 1 week late. Yesterday I did a pregnancy test ( the canadian one) and it was negativ. What can be the problem of this late? Thank you if you help me.
“Day 1 of period is first day of full flow in the morning”. So does this mean that if I’m spotting & cramping for 2-3 days before full flow, that doesn’t count as my period? What is that spotting then? (I was recently diagnosed with PCOS, so this is all new to me)
I had my IUD (paragard so nonhormonal) removed in October to begin trying for a baby, my periods since then have been kinda messed up, theyre later than usual. Should I wait to track ovulational until it regulates itself? Im honestly shocked im not pregnant yet, I thought it was easy to get pregnant. To be fair i had no idea there was a fertile window when you should try until a few weeks ago so maybe thats why im not pregnant, idk im kinda stressing worrying i wont have a baby ):
So we lose more than one egg per cycle?? all the follicles that grow,when certain egg is selected and ovulated do the orher follicles get absorbed back in the body?
Can you still carry a baby if you have endometriosis? My aunt has it and she is unable to carry a baby and she found out she was unable to conceive and didn't have healthy eggs to harvest. Is it the same for everyone or does it differ? Thanks for the awesome video!
so many factors here, endometriosis can still carry a pregnancy but can significantly impact fertility! I always recommend early interventions to preserve fertility in endo patients.
I have endometriosis, and in my experience it was extremely difficult to get pregnant both times. The first time, I miscarried fraternal twins. The second time, I had a chorionic hemorrhage but I was able to carry over 38 weeks with my son! He’s perfectly healthy and awesome. It’s definitely possible.
If I'm on a long term birth control right now as a 15 yo and I don't get my period, when I go off of it when I'm older will I have my period for a longer period of time before menopause bc I didn't have my period for a couple years when I was younger?

Thank you!! Yes this is a great idea, so many women get disregarded when they have painful periods, not right at all!
Do you still have painful periods? Anything you're doing / have done to help reduce the pain so far?
Hey Dr. Natalie! I really appreciate how you explain the science of egg development. The visuals were really great! I'll remember these the next time I'm talking about the cycle!
Thank you!!! It’s amazingly hard to learn about my cycle and the hormones involved.

Period is day 1 of full flow? Not spotting? My doctor says spotting counts? But this pretty/smart doctor on youtube says full flow. 😧*confused*

Q: how does the FSH selectively stimulate only 1 follicle to grow?

is it absolutely necessary for adult men aged 30 plus to know about woman's monthly periods?
A woman with 21 days menstrual cycle when is she expected to ovulate
Doc. Thanks for making such informative videos.. What is your opinion about wanting to pursue medicine at 35-36.. Is it possible
Completely possible - follow your dreams and passions
So we lose more than one egg per cycle?? all the follicles that grow,when certain egg is selected and ovulated do the orher follicles get absorbed back in the body?
The non ovulated eggs die and the follicles dissolve, yes!
How many months can you take provera
