<section><h2>How much do you know about fertility nutrition?</h2><p><p>When you’re pregnant, they say you eat for two.

<section><h2>How Much Do You Know About Your Cervix?</h2><p><div>It’s Cervical Health Awareness Month and, if you’re trying to conceive, you’re probably more aware of your cervix than ever before.

Take this quiz and find out how much you know about your cervix!</div></p></section><section><h2>1. How long is the average cervix when not pregnant?</h2></section><section><h3>2.

Which of these are not signs of cervical cancer?</h3></section><section><h3>8. How can you prevent cervical cancer?</h3></section><section><h2>0 to 25% correct</h2><p><div>While your ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus are often discussed in regards to fertility, your cervix probably isn’t. But it should be! Your cervix plays a large role in being able to tell when you’re ovulating, keeping your pregnancy viable, and keeping your baby safe after pregnancy. It’s never too late to learn, though. Brush up on your cervical knowledge so you can be more aware of your reproductive health. </div></p></section><section><h3>26 to 50% correct</h3><p><div>The more you know about your cervix and how it works, the better. And you seem to be well on your way! Keep in mind that the main function of your cervix is to keep your uterus safe. If you feel anything abnormal (or have discharge that doesn’t seem right) check with your doctor right away. The more familiar you are with your body, the easier it will be to keep it healthy.</div></p></section><section><h3>51 to 75% correct</h3><p><div>Reproductive health can be a complicated topic but you know your stuff! It’s a good thing, too. Whether you’re trying to conceive or trying to prevent cervical cancer, knowing what’s normal—and what isn’t—is key. Share this quiz with your friends so you can <i>all </i>be cervically aware!</div></p></section><section><h3>76 to 100% correct</h3><p><div>Great work! You know a lot about your cervix and the amazing things it can do. From keeping your uterus free of harmful bacteria to allowing you to deliver a baby, your cervix plays a big role in all stages of your menstrual cycle and pregnancy.</div></p></section>
<section><h2>Which phase of the menstrual cycle are you in?</h2><p><div>Menstrual cycles are a lot like seasons. They happen in phases and some are just better than others (the warmth of summer and the frisky feelings associated with the ovulatory phase just work so well together). Unlike the changing of the weather, each phase of your menstrual cycle happens every month. When you’re trying to conceive, knowing which phase you’re in can really help you identify the best times to practice making a baby. Take this quiz and find out which phase you’re in!</div></p></section><section><h2>Mostly A's</h2><p><div><b>You’re in the menstrual phase.</b> When an egg is released into your fallopian tube and doesn’t become fertilized by sperm, it dissolves back into the lining of your uterus. In order to clear itself out for next month, your uterus begins to shed its inner lining. This is when you begin your period. The key signs that you are menstruating are bleeding, feeling lethargic, and being slightly moody and crampy (but less so than the previous week). A healthy period lasts between 3 and 7 days. </div></p></section><section><h3>Mostly B's</h3><p><div><b>You’re in the follicular phase.</b> The follicular phase is one that overlaps your menstrual phase - it starts on the same day your period starts but lasts up to 13 days (whereas your period should only last up to 7). During this time, your body is growing and maturing the egg that will be released when you begin to ovulate. For many women, this phase is the easiest out of all four. You’ll likely have more energy, feel less stressed, and won’t have any frustrating premenstrual symptoms. </div></p></section><section><h3>Mostly C's</h3><p><div><b>You’re in the ovulation phase. </b><a href="https://www.storkotc.com/blog/ovulation-signs/" target="_blank">If you’re trying to conceive then you are probably very familiar with the ovulation phase</a>. It’s when your body signals that it’s time to release your matured egg into your fallopian tubes. This phase only lasts a couple of days but during it you are likely to want to have sex (Mother Nature’s way of ensuring procreation). If you are trying to get pregnant, you’ll want to track your menstrual cycle so you can know when you’re ovulating - this is the time to try for a baby. </div></p></section><section><h3>Mostly D's</h3><p><div><b>You’re in the luteal phase.</b> This phase comes directly after ovulation - it’s the time when your egg is awaiting fertilization. If you do become pregnant, your egg will start its journey to your uterus where it will begin the process of implantation. If you don’t become pregnant, it will dissolve into your uterine lining and you’ll start your next period as your uterus begins to shed that lining. Either way, you’re likely to experience symptoms of either PMS or early pregnancy, making it difficult to tell which is happening.<a href="https://www.storkotc.com/blog/pregnancy-signs/" target="_blank">[1]</a> </div></p></section><section><h2>1. What’s your stress level right now?</h2></section><section><h3>2. Are you bleeding?</h3></section><section><h3>3. Are you in the mood to have sex?</h3></section><section><h3>4. What are you craving?</h3></section><section><h3>5. Do you have cramps?</h3></section><section><h3>6. Which of these most accurately describes how you feel right now?</h3></section><section><h3>7. Which of these physical symptoms are you experiencing?</h3></section><section><h3>8. What kind of vaginal discharge do you have?</h3></section>
<section><h2>How much do you know about ovulation?</h2><p><div>Ovulation is a tricky topic but it’s also an important one - especially when you are trying to conceive. When you’re ready to make a baby, it’s likely that you’ll be checking for ovulation so you know exactly when it’s prime time to get to work. Take this quiz to find out just how much you know about ovulation.</div></p></section><section><h2>When does ovulation occur in an average 28-day cycle?</h2></section><section><h3>How long does an egg live once it is released?</h3></section><section><h3>Women are not born with eggs inside them but develop them once they reach their menarche (start of their period).</h3></section><section><h3>What does the most fertile type of cervical mucus look like?</h3></section><section><h3>When does implantation of a fertilized egg normally take place?</h3></section><section><h3>A menstrual period can occur even if ovulation does not and ovulation can occur even if a period does not.</h3></section><section><h3>Can you get pregnant if you have sex prior a few days prior to ovulation?</h3></section><section><h3>Which of these is not a cervical indicator of ovulation?</h3></section><section><h3>Which hormone triggers the release of an egg during ovulation?</h3></section><section><h3>Hormonal birth control does what to your ovulation?</h3></section><section><h2>0-25% Correct:</h2><p><div>You’ve got some studying to do but don’t feel bad. Most women are not familiar with the facts about ovulation. Taking some time to learn about this process can help you feel more prepared when you’re trying to conceive. </div></p></section><section><h3>26-50% Correct:</h3><p><div>You know quite a bit about ovulation but brushing up wouldn’t hurt, either. The more you know about your body and the way it works, the better chance you have of conceiving when you’re ready.</div></p></section><section><h3>51-75% Correct:</h3><p><div>When it comes to ovulation, you’re ahead of the pack. Because of it’s confusing nature, many women are unclear about what happens to their bodies before, during, and after ovulation. But you? You’ve got this.</div></p></section><section><h3>76-100% Correct:</h3><p><div>Despite being an often confusing topic, you know what you’re talking about when it comes to ovulation. Knowing all the facts can help you become better acquainted with your body’s unique ovulation patterns and can help you conceive when you’re ready.</div></p></section>
<section><h2>Should I Take a Pregnancy Test?</h2><p><div>When you’re trying to conceive, taking a pregnancy test can be very exciting - and nerve wracking. Getting the timing right can be tricky but there are some ways you can ensure that you’ll get an accurate reading. Home pregnancy tests work by detecting hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). The results can vary, depending on your menstrual and ovulation cycle. Take this quiz to know if you should take a pregnancy test now or wait a little longer.</div></p></section><section><h2>1. Is your period more than a week late?</h2></section><section><h3>2. Do you have cramps, even though you don’t have your period?</h3></section><section><h3>3. Are your breasts sore?</h3></section><section><h3>4. Do you feel grossed out by foods you normally enjoy?</h3></section><section><h3>5. Are you actively trying to conceive?</h3></section><section><h3>6. Do you feel nauseous?</h3></section><section><h3>7. Are you taking any fertility medications?</h3></section><section><h3>8. Will you be heartbroken if you’re not pregnant?</h3></section><section><h3>9. Are you more moody than normal?</h3></section><section><h3>10. Do you think you’re pregnant?</h3></section><section><h2>Mostly “B’s”</h2><p><div>Don’t take a pregnancy test just yet. Even if you <i>are </i>pregnant, your body won’t start producing hCG until the egg is implanted in your uterus. Waiting a couple more weeks will help you get a more accurate result. Patience is your friend!</div></p></section><section><h3>Mostly “A’s”</h3><p><div>Go ahead and take that test! There’s no guarantee that it will give an accurate reading (even though most tests guarantee 99% accuracy) but taking one first thing in the morning should give you a good idea of whether you’re carrying a baby or not. If the test reads negative, don’t get discouraged just yet. Depending on the length of your luteal phase, your body may not have implanted the egg yet. Wait a week or two and then take another test. </div></p></section>
