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!

"She wouldn't hurt a fly"

Dear Fly


Mr Fly, oh Mr Fly

What brings you to my house?

Are you looking for a safe place to rest your wings?  

Or perhaps you're looking for a friend?

If I get close enough I can see your big beady eyes.

I hear your buzzing and know you're there.

You're a tiny black ball of fuzz.

You seem focussed on my window, 

Like you're trying to get out.

But please, relax Mr Fly,

You won't find no fly spray here.

Take your time and stay a while.

And when you're ready to leave,

Head for the door and I'll let you out...



Yours compassionately, Kylie x

Welcome!

Welcome to my first ever post on my first ever blog!

I've been toying with the idea of creating a blog for some time now, but haven't been able to find any clarity in terms of what it should be about. 

Eventually I decided on a bit of everything... The life of being a mother of twins, my varied interests in crafts, my (mostly) vegan choices and the new lifestyle that has come with that change in my life, and all the little bits in-between. After a few pictures about blogging popped up on my Pinterest page I decided to give it a try and see how it goes.

But for now, thank you for stopping by and welcome once again!
