What have you learn about your body since TTC? And

Question

Our bodies are amazing piece of art that sometimes are difficult to understand. My husband and I are TTC close to 6 months now, October 2017 was the last birth control (BC) medication, and reading about fertility cycles and how my body operates made me realize that I knew little to nothing about this. 
For  example some things that noticed: 
According to the app more fertile right after a period. 
After stopping BC my cycle is all over the place. 
Stress can be a factor for delaying conception. 
Could you share, what have you learn about your body since TTC that you wish knew before?

Answer

I like this topic! I was surprised that I still didn’t know a lot. You think we would’ve learned more about our cycle. I learned I get bloated at ovulation, which is helpful to know - rather than thinking its soemthign I ate and eliminating everything! Also not about the body but I finally understand the way to count weeks of pregnancy. I never understood how you didn’t know until you were about four weeks pregnant (if you ovulate mid cycle, wouldn’t you know at two weeks, I thought?) Now I understand they count the two weeks before conception (follicular phase) as pregnant since your body is prepping, even though you haven’t conceived. Weird. Cant believe I never knew that.

Answer

I used to think that a woman's cycle just meant her period and not all the changes in hormones, body temperature and everything else that changes throughout the cycle.
Call me crazy, but cervical mucus is amazing! How it changes before ovulation is fascinating and it took me till I was 29 to learn about it.
And now I know that the weird crampy pain I get in the middle of my cycle is ovulation cramps.... it's not that I'm dying 😂

Answer

I was super surprised that the egg only hung around12 to 24 hours. I Also learned that all the times i was worried i was pregnant in earlier years were silly as its not that simple!
