Fertility without Milk: Part one – A Phlegmy Problem

By |2020-02-11T14:15:23-05:00June 16th, 2010|Diet, Infertility|

It shows a daily picture of the cervix from day 1 of menstruation through ovulation and up to the day of the new menstrual cycle. It’s amazing how the cervix changes from day to day and prepares for ovulation. Many of my clients check their cervix as part of the information to help them conceive. Yet, they often feel confused trying to figure out what a “high and soft” cervix feels like. This website provides a visual pictorial that can […]
