Women Who Have It

Non Breastfeeding Women & Breastfeeding Women

According to Natural Fertility Info, " Luteal phase defect is estimated to affect 3-4% of women who have ‘unexplained infertility’, up to 63% of women who repeatedly miscarry and 6-10% of women who are fertile"(Rodriguez).  If you are a breastfeeding mom, this is very common among breastfeeding women that their first few cycles are not full fertility accompanied by a short luteal phase, so they do not become pregnant.

I must also add some women do catch the first egg while breastfeeding and / or have fertile and regular postpartum cycles right away. A woman who catches the first egg released before her postpartum menstrual can start does not know if her luteal phase is long enough (unless she is charting, knows she ovulates for certain and has a chemical pregnancy- which might indicate that her luteal phase is too short. Same can be true if she is charting, knows that she ovulated and goes pass 14-18 days pass ovulation without a period that she might be pregnant). However, one can assume if a woman who catches the first egg becomes pregnant and does not miscarry that her luteal phase was most likely normal or the minimum she needed  to become and stay pregnant. Another theory is a breastfeeding mom who takes natural supplements and a prenatal vitamin that contains B-complex or vitamin B6 and vitex or fertility drugs such as provera or clomid, are taking supplements that can help lengthen their luteal phases and are aiding their body to ovulate, thus giving them the minimum or normal luteal phase to become pregnant or have a regular cycle.

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test (Blue Dye)

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test  with Blue Dye (+ / - ) This is what a negative looks like: Side Note: Blue dyes are often said to more frequently give false positives than pink dye. Some online boards that will tweak (alter) a pregnancy test photo to help individuals identify if the test is a faint positive or indeed negative, often will not do blue dyes.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

  My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

I am not being paid to promote any of them and do not receive payments. Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1. Body Wash That Feels Safe Before and after surgery, I wanted something gentle that still felt clean. I’ve been using Dove Antibacterial Body Wash , and it’s been perfect. It keeps the incision area clean without stinging or irritating my skin, which is such a relief.  2. Underwear That Actually Works I never thought I’d get excited about disposable underwear, but Frida Mom Disposable C-Section Underwear has been a game-changer. They’re soft, supportive, and don’t press on my stomach—exactly what ...
