Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from this episode — and how Fix Your Period can help.

What is Fertility Awareness Method (FAM)?
Fertility Awareness Method involves tracking fertility signs — primarily basal body temperature, cervical mucus, and cycle length — to identify fertile and infertile phases of the cycle. It can be used both to achieve pregnancy and as a form of non-hormonal birth control when practised correctly.
How does cycle health affect fertility?
Ovulatory cycles with healthy hormonal patterns — adequate estrogen in the follicular phase, a robust LH surge, and sufficient progesterone in the luteal phase — are foundational to fertility. Cycle irregularities, short luteal phases, anovulatory cycles, and poor period blood quality can all signal underlying hormonal imbalances that affect conception.
What can I do to optimise my fertility naturally?
The most impactful steps include regulating blood sugar, supporting gut health and liver detoxification (which affect hormone clearance), managing chronic stress, ensuring adequate nutrient status (particularly folate, iron, magnesium, and omega-3s), and reducing exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

Yes. Fix Your Period's free assessment gives you personalised results based on your current cycle health. Fix Your Period Premium unlocks fertility and preconception protocols, Nicole's Period Pillars education, and Nicole.AI — all designed to support women on their journey to conception.
Can Fix Your Period help if I'm using fertility awareness as birth control?
Yes. Fix Your Period includes cycle tracking tools and — with Premium — Nicole's dedicated Fertility Awareness protocol and Period Pillars education on understanding your cycle signs, whether you're using FAM to achieve or avoid pregnancy.
