Natural Fertility Q&A: Luteal Phase, Spotting, Fecundability, and Ovulation

Dr. Natalie Crawford answers voicemail questions about natural fertility and TTC.  Questions Answered: Can having retained tissue for a few months cause endometrial lining changes that could impact implantation? Could I have asherman’s? What should your lining be throughout the cycle? Can a luteal phase defect lead to a chemical pregnancy? I spot for several days before my period. Is that first day of spotting considered day one of my cycle or the first day of full flow? What are the chances of getting pregnant each month if you track your cycle and have sex during the fertile window?  Can abnormal cervical mucus impact fertility? What can change the cervical mucus consistency and can I do anything to help it? Want to receive my weekly newsletter?
