Trying to conceive? Understanding how hormones drive ovulation can help you pinpoint your fertile window and improve your pregnancy chances. In this clear, compassionate walkthrough, board‑certified OB‑GYN Dr. Stan explains how FSH, LH, estrogen, and progesterone work together across your menstrual cycle—and how to use those signals to time intercourse, track ovulation, and reduce stress while TTC. What you’ll learn in this video Hormones & your cycle: How FSH prepares follicles, the LH surge triggers ovulation (typically 24–36 hours later), and estrogen/progesterone shape cervical mucus and basal body temperature. Your fertile window: Why the most fertile days are the 5 days before ovulation plus ovulation day, how long sperm (up to ~5 days) and egg (12–24 hours) remain viable, and how that translates into practical timing. Ovulation tracking tools: How to combine ovulation predictor kits (OPKs), cervical mucus observation, and BBT trends to recognize peak fertility sooner and with more confidence. Common hurdles: How irregular cycles, PCOS, or endometriosis can affect ovulation—and the value of partnering with a women’s healthcare provider for personalized next steps. Lifestyle foundations: Nutrition patterns (Mediterranean‑style eating), sleep, stress reduction, and movement that support hormone health and fertility.
