In my first book, The Fifth Vital Sign, I argue that the menstrual cycle is an important vital sign

that we should be paying attention to. I argue that your menstrual cycle is important regardless

of whether or not you're actively trying to have babies now. And I also argue that charting your

cycle using fertility awareness method tools is an essential step in truly understanding what's happening

in your menstrual cycle. If you haven't grabbed a copy of the fifth vital sign, you can read the first

This is the Fertility Friday podcast, episode number 546.

Today I'm sharing an episode about a very common question.

Whenever I start working with a group of clients, this is typically a question that is asked when I go through the reproductive hormone cycle, as well as the follicular phase and how everything works, because it's a very common misunderstanding that ovulation can happen more than once in a cycle. And there's a lot of

information out there that does allude to this myth. And yes, it is myth. And in today's episode,

I go into some research and yes, it is a myth. And in today's episode, I go into some research and data

to really bust the myth that, A, you can ovulate more than once, multiple times in the cycle.

And also, there's another myth that you can get pregnant when you're already pregnant. So there's

this myth that human beings can have a situation that's called superfitation. And that means that you're pregnant. So there's this myth that human beings can have a situation that's called

superfetation. And that means that you're pregnant and you literally ovulate again and get

pregnant again for the second time and you have two babies growing inside your body at different

gestation rates. That is a myth that does not happen in humans. And so in today's episode,

I share a little bit about that to

debunk it. And so if this is something that you've heard, then I think you'll find this episode

to be interesting. And of course, you can always, you know, jump over to the show notes page
