Postpartum Fertility, FIAT - Let It Be & the Return of Your Cycle

Got baby fever while you're still breastfeeding? You're not alone — and today I'm walking you through what's actually happening hormonally in your body during this postpartum, nursing season, plus how to say "fiat" (let it be) to God's timing for your next pregnancy.

We start with Ecclesiastes 3:1 and Mary's own "fiat" to Gabriel, then get into the nerdy fertility science. What is prolactin and how can it suppress ovulation? What does weaning actually do to your hormone timeline? And what about other root-cause issues — such as the thyroid, gut, adrenals, inflammation — and can they keep your cycle from bouncing back?

Episode Highlights:

• Why prolactin can suppress your ovulatory hormones (FSH, estrogen, LH, progesterone) while breastfeeding
• What actually happens hormonally when you wean — and why it can take 2 to 6 cycles to fully reset
• The Mary "FIAT" framework for surrendering your fertility timeline to God's plan
• Root-cause yellow flags to watch for postpartum: sleep, gut health, inflammation, mood, and stress hormones
• Why charting your biomarkers matters even before your cycle has returned
• A personal, slightly hilarious story about how Bekah's second son was conceived — and what she'd do differently now
