FFP 149 | The Truth About Ovulation Predictor Kits (OPKs) | Lisa | Fertility Friday - a podcast by Lisa | Fertility Friday
from 2017-07-28T04:00:14
In this solo episode, I am tackling the topic of Ovulation Predictor Kits! I talk about OPKs and why I don’t think they are all they’re cracked up to be. I share why relying solely on OPKs can reduce your chances of conception in some cases, and why your body gives you much more reliable signs to go on when you pay attention to it!
Registration is now open for my 10 Week Fertility Awareness Mastery Group Program starting in August/September 2017! Make sure to head over to the group program page and apply today to reserve your spot.
