Fertility and Pregnancy Healing my PCOS

This blog post is all about identifying your period colours symptoms; what they mean and how to find the root causes.

Have you even wondered what you period is trying to tell you!?!

As a general rule of thumb, a healthy period is a bright red cranberry colour from start to finish and ideally lasts from 4-5 days. The consistency of the blood should be thicker than water, but with a smooth texture.

So what do all the other textures, colours, lengths mean?

Well I am going to break down for you here.

Too much Estrogen-

Dark red, purple, or even black bleeding that is thick in texture indicates a cycle with too much estrogen. There may also be clots or it might be a lumpy in consistency. Bleeding flow tends is heavy.

Symptoms-

Women with excess estrogen may also experience breast tenderness, emotional PMS, fibroids and endometriosis.

Cause-

Too much estrogen can be caused by processed foods, excess weight, over-consumption of alcohol, a stressed liver, caffeine, endocrine disruptors like BPA and phthalates, and estrogenic foods like soy.

Too little Estrogen-

A light period that is watery and pink-ish in color indicates too little estrogen. You may experience a normal flow day or two followed by a few days of very light pink bleeding.

Symptoms-

You may experience vaginal dryness, dry skin, joint pain and low sex drive. Periods maybe irregular and sporadic.

Cause-

Women with very little body fat have a greater risk of low estrogen. Other potential causes are low-fat diets, disordered eating, over-exercising, the birth control pill and stress.

Low Progesterone-

Having brown, rust-colored spotting before or after your period is an indication of too little progesterone.

Symptoms-

Heavy flows, prone to anxiety, PMS, cyclical breast tenderness and difficulty becoming or staying pregnant.

Cause-

The biggest cause of low progesterone is stress and high cortisol levels. Thyroid issues can also contribute to low progesterone as well as birth control pill and irregular ovulation can also lead to low progesterone levels.

I hope this helps understand your period a little bit more!

I seriously just wish the taught us all this stuff in school, it would make life A LOT easier! RIGHT!?!

Worth every cent!

This tea has been a total lifesaver for me! I've got PCOS, and it was causing a ton of hair loss. But after sipping on this tea every day for four months, I'm seeing all these tiny baby hairs popping up all over my hairline and my hair is looking fuller overall. And get this - my period actually showed up on the day my tracking app said it would, which has NEVER happened before! Plus, my PMS symptoms are way less intense now. This tea has seriously made a big difference for me. I am recommending this tea to everyone in my life, I'm almost finished my 2nd bag and about to purchase my 3rd!!

Worth every cent!

I can’t recommend this tea and PCOS to wellness enough, I tell everyone as it’s the only thing that’s worked for my acne and periods and cycle as well as helping me fall pregnant with our second baby naturally after fertility treatment to conceive baby number 1. Incredible that a tea can help in so many ways! Thank you thank you Brigitte! X

AWESOMEEEEEEEEEE!!!

I truly love this product, well all of the products, I have pcos and the teas really help in soothing cramps and encourages a free flow with less pain. My mom on the other hand has been feeling low energy and used this magnesium epsom salt as a foot soak and immediately felt re-energized and asked for me to purchase more immediately. Truly worth it.
