Wondering when your period will come and if you can help it along?

Most times, in infertility, you DON’T want your period to come. So it’s extra insult-to-injury in those rare times when you want it to come — and it doesn’t.

• You’re waiting for your period so you can begin an IVF or IUI treatment

• You had a miscarriage and you want your cycle to return to try again

• You weened from breast feeding to try and add to your family

• You’ve got irregular cycles due to PCOS

• You’ve got irregular cycles due to ovarian decline

In this video you’ll learn.

• The two hormones that drive uterine lining growth, receptivity, and shedding — aka your period

• The timeline of hormone changes and the start of a menstrual flow

• Hormone replacement methods to mimic a period — aka a withdrawal bleed

• Whether natural methods like acupuncture, castor packs, special supplements, or foods can induce a period

• Plus more

So watch the video lesson for a solid foundation on period induction. Remember, you won’t get a period if the lining hasn’t thickened or if the hormones aren’t in the correct phase. And once you know how things work, you might want to add some great DIY acupressure or maybe a little self-care castor oil pack treatment.

If your ovaries have been cycling — even irregularly — or have recently been induced to cycle with medications like Clomid, Letrozole, or IVF stimming meds like Follistim or Gonal F, the ovaries will probably run the show. This means your period flow will probably only happen after 12 - 14 days post ovulation — even if you do other things to try to induce it sooner.
