Ovulating by the new moon

Moon phases

For quite some time now I've been fascinated with the moon, it's cycles and it's affects on our bodies and the earth...

-The tides are controlled by the moon.

-Our bodies are made up of 70% water.

If the moon affects the tides of the oceans, it makes sense that the moon affects our water based bodies too.

-The moon cycle is 28 days long.

-A healthy menstrual cycle is also 28 days long.

I was reading a post by Nat Kringoudis about how fertility is affected by the moon. A healthy menstrual cycle will match the lunar cycle. So you could expect to have your period at the same time of the lunar cycle, e.g. every full moon.

But what caught my attention was the studies of Dr Eugen Jonas. 

Specifically, a female has a period of extra ovulation each cycle outside of the normal ovulation cycle. This occurs at the same time of the lunar cycle that you were born in. So if your extra ovulation happens at the same time as your normal ovulation it results in two eggs being released around the same time. Or you could also be releasing an egg during a part of your cycle that you wouldn't normally be fertile. 

Being a mother of twins this got me thinking about how my daughter and son were conceived...

-The twins were conceived with two eggs

-I was born at the time of a new moon

-The twins were conceived at the time of a new moon

-My ovulation and extra ovulation occurred at the same time

So this could explain why twins are conceived with two eggs.

Nature and the human body are amazing!
