Re-Regulating Your Hormone Cycle
Let's get you feeling like you again
Major life transitions such as childbirth or stopping hormonal birth control bring about significant hormonal shifts.
This guide will walk you through the importance of tracking changes in your luteinizing hormone (LH) and progesterone levels.
Understanding these fluctuations is the first step towards feeling like yourself again.

Embracing your body's hormone transitions
During pregnancy, breastfeeding, and when you're on hormonal birth control, your typical hormonal cycle is paused. This is why you likely won't get a period when you are pregnant or breastfeeding and why some people stop having a period while on certain types of birth control.
Following pregnancy, breastfeeding, or when going off birth control, your body starts to recalibrate its LH and progesterone levels. Everyone's body is different and the amount of time it takes to get back to "normal" after a hormone transition can vary.

Recognizing the Signs of Ovulation After Giving Birth
If you’ve given birth recently and are trying to conceive again, knowing the signs of ovulation after giving birth can be crucial to your fertility journey.
LH and progesterone are essential for regulating your menstrual cycle. That's why paying close attention to these hormones can help you better anticipate when your regular cycle may resume.
If you notice a rise, or surge, in your LH levels preceding a steady rise in progesterone, this is generally a sign that your body has started ovulating again.
Recognizing these patterns can provide valuable information even before your period returns.

How does hormonal birth control affect my menstrual cycle?
Hormonal birth control can suppress ovulation and modify the natural production of LH and progesterone. When you stop taking birth control, your body will eventually return to your natural hormone rhythm.
How do hormones fluctuate postpartum?
Pregnancy and childbirth lead to dramatic hormonal shifts. Once breastfeeding decreases or stops, LH and progesterone levels start to re-establish, marking the re-initiation of your menstrual cycle.
How can I tell if my menstrual cycle is going back to normal?
Regular monitoring of your LH and progesterone levels can help you identify patterns that signal the re-establishment of your menstrual cycle. A progressive rise in LH followed by a sustained increase in progesterone often suggests the return of ovulation.
