139 | Why You're Not Ovulating & How To Fix It

Hey sister,If you’ve been wondering whether you’re even ovulating—or why your cycles feel so off—this episode is for you.
Today, we’re diving deep into some possible reasons ovulation might not be happening (also called anovulation) and, most importantly, what you can actually do to support your body and bring restoration. From past birth control use and medication overload, to how your mom’s stress during pregnancy may have impacted your own reproductive health—yep, we go there.
We also talk about lifestyle, charting (even when cycles are irregular), and the one thing that matters most: surrendering this entire journey to Jesus.
Whether you're brand new to this or knee-deep in tracking and temping, I pray this episode brings clarity, hope, and encouragement for what’s next. Let’s figure out your next step together and book a free 10-minute consultation here 👉 https://calendly.com/byawn/consult .

138 | TTC + History of Birth Control or IUD?

Hey sister,
I’ve been wanting to record this episode for a long time. Today, I’m talking about a topic that is incredibly personal—and one that many women have never heard fully explained: birth control and its impact on your fertility. I share my own story of being on the pill and navigating confusing church counsel, and I unpack what’s actually happening in your body on birth control—including the copper IUD.
We also go deep spiritually today. I walk through Genesis 38 and the story of Tamar—and how God’s justice and heart for women ties directly into this conversation.
Episode Highlights: 
What birth control really does to your body and hormones
How post-birth control syndrome affects your fertility
Why detoxing is so important before pregnancy
A faith-filled invitation to steward your body well
If you’ve ever been on birth control, or you’re walking through the confusing road of trying to conceive after IUDs or pills, this episode will equip you with clarity and encouragement.
In Him, 
Bekah

136 | What is a Midwife? Preparing for Pregnancy Part 2

Hey sisters! This week you get a bonus episode — and trust me, it’s a good one. On Monday, we talked all about what a doula is (and why that matters even before you get pregnant). Today, we’re diving into the next big question: What is a midwife? And how does a midwife compare to an OB? If you’re like me, maybe you didn’t even know midwives existed outside of “old-fashioned” stories — until God opened my eyes. After experiencing OB care through my miscarriages and even into my third trimester with my rainbow baby, I finally learned there was another option.
Episode Highlights:
What a midwife actually is
The difference between OBs and midwives
Why your care model really matters — even before you're pregnant
How midwives support things naturally, while OBs are trained in disease and intervention
The types of midwives: CNMs vs CPMs (and what each one is trained in)
What my own experience switching from an OB to a home birth midwife was like — and why it was so different
You’ll hear about Midwife RX, a telehealth option I recommend for those needing progesterone prescriptions or early care. We’ll also talk about how midwives can serve you pre-conception, not just during pregnancy. And if you take away just one thing today, let it be this: You have options. And those options are worth exploring with prayer and intention.
🌿 Whether you’re TTC, newly pregnant, or just doing your research — you’ll walk away with so much more clarity after this one.
If this blessed you, would you do me a huge favor? 👉 Leave a review or share this with a friend. It helps more sisters find the show and feel empowered, encouraged, and not alone in this journey.
In His Good Grace,
Bekah

135 | What is a Doula? Preparing for Pregnancy Part 1

Hey sisters! Today’s episode is one I know so many of you need. Over the past few months, several women inside Fertility Framework have gotten pregnant (praise God!), and one of the first questions I always hear is: “Should I get a midwife or a doula?” Or sometimes it’s, “Can I have both?” or “Do I need one if I already have an OB?”
I remember being in that same boat—clueless about what a midwife even was—until I walked through miscarriage, healing, and finally pregnancy with our rainbow baby. That’s when everything shifted for me. I started learning more about God’s design, what natural birth could look like, and how to surround myself with the support I actually needed.
Episode Highlights:
What exactly is a doula (and what she’s not)?
What does she actually do during labor, delivery, and postpartum?
How can a doula help you avoid unnecessary interventions?
Why it matters to choose the right doula, not just any doula
If you’re someone who wants a faith-centered, low-intervention birth (especially if it’s your first or you're planning a hospital birth), this episode is packed with truth, encouragement, and practical help to guide your decisions.
And don’t worry—we’ll cover midwives vs. OBs in part two later this week!
In Him,
Bekah

134 | From Miscarriage to Motherhood: Naya’s Story of Surrender, Struggle, and the God Who Delivers

Hey sisters! Today I’m welcoming back the sweet, radiant Naya—who you may remember from Episode 37. If not, let me catch you up: she shared her story of walking through miscarriage, finding healing, and getting pregnant again. It was powerful then... and this update is even more incredible!
When we last spoke, Naya was 13 weeks pregnant and filled with hope. Now? Her rainbow baby is 10 months old, and she’s walking us through everything that’s happened since—from a surrendered pregnancy to a long and intense labor, to a really raw, faith-filled postpartum season that didn’t go quite like she imagined.
In this episode, she shares:
How she stuck with her anti-inflammatory habits throughout pregnancy
What changed when her midwife unexpectedly got injured late in pregnancy
How she coped with hospital birth, long labor, and a surprise epidural
Her emotional NICU experience when baby had jaundice
The spiritual truth God whispered over and over: “It’s not about the midwife. It’s not the doctor. It’s Me.”
We talk about what it’s like to dream big for birth… and still surrender it all to God. Plus, we offer encouragement and warnings for mamas choosing hospital birth—especially around third-trimester ultrasounds, postpartum protocols, and breastfeeding setbacks.
This one is filled with raw honesty, faith, and the reminder that God is the Doctor of doctors—and He is the one who delivers.
In His good Grace, Bekah

133 | Trusting God Through Fertility Challenges: Finding Hope in Waiting Seasons

Hey sweet sister, this episode is full of hope. If you’re in a season of waiting—whether that’s waiting to conceive, healing from a loss, or just needing God to show up—this is for you.
We’re diving deep into Joshua 3 and 4, where God parted the Jordan River again—but this time, it was Joshua leading, not Moses. There’s so much here for us when it comes to trusting the Lord even when it feels like nothing is happening, or worse, everything is going wrong.
I share three practical steps straight from this passage to help you grow your faith right now—yes, today—while you're in the middle of your own waiting season. You’ll want to grab a journal or your notes app because we go step-by-step on how to actually walk this out in your quiet time.
✨ Oh—and one last thing: I’m taking applications for interns right now! If this mission is lighting a fire in you and you want to serve alongside me while earning Fertility Framework, go apply at bekahyawn.com/intern. Applications close tomorrow!In Him,

132 | The Thief of Progesterone & What To Do About It!

Hey sisters! Today’s episode is all about something that’s stealing your progesterone—something you might not have thought about this way before: stress. Yup. We’re talking spiritual stress, emotional stress, physical stress, and even informational overload (hello, Dr. Google).
This one is near and dear to me, not just as a hormone coach, but as a sister in Christ. Because this thief of progesterone? It’s not just physical. It can be deeply spiritual, and it's absolutely emotional. And it’s affecting way more of us than we realize.
Episode Highlights:
What progesterone does and why it matters so much for staying pregnant
A list of signs that you might have low progesterone
The main stressors that rob your progesterone—and what to do about them
Encouragement straight from Deuteronomy 8 for when you're walking through your own wilderness season
Plus, a little behind-the-scenes encouragement about my own journey with stress and hormones
Sister, stress may be stealing your hormones—but it doesn't get the final say. Let's dive in.
In Him,
Bekah

131 | Pregnancy After Miscarriage: Finding Joy While Managing Anxiety

Hey sister. Whew—this one hits home. Today we’re talking about getting pregnant after a miscarriage. It’s not easy. If you’ve been there, you know the mix of hope, fear, joy, and anxiety that swirls around every test, every cramp, every thought.
After two healthy pregnancies, I walked through three losses in a row—including a 15-week miscarriage. I didn’t want to try again without understanding what had happened. So I went on a healing journey: physically, emotionally, and spiritually. And by God’s grace, we welcomed our rainbow baby girl. Now, I’m pregnant again. And I still need these tools I’m sharing with you today.
In this episode, I walk you through 5 things that helped me walk in peace and trust through pregnancy after loss:
Choosing a Scripture for your baby
Praying with your husband
Changing your scene (“change of pace, place, direction”)
Building a support team (including why I love midwives!)
Verse mapping (and how to get started)
Sister, if you've had a loss—or if you're even thinking about trying again—this episode is for you.
You're not alone. I see you. He sees you.
In His Good Grace,Bekah

130 | Am I Ovulating? My #1 Tip to Know!

Hey sister. This episode is SO packed, I barely know where to start. We’re diving deep into how to really know if you're ovulating — and why that matters so much for your fertility journey. I'm giving you six specific tools to assess your ovulation naturally (without relying on apps or guesswork)... and reminding you of the one thing that matters most before you do any of it.
Because yes, your cycle matters. But your heart? Your peace? Your relationship with the Lord? That’s where the real foundation lies.
Episode Highlights: 
What actually counts as charting (spoiler alert: apps aren’t enough!)
How your cervical mucus is the #1 sign of ovulation
Why your BBT pattern tells the bigger story
What on earth Mittelschmerz is
How your luteal phase length confirms a healthy ovulation
And why progesterone is the cherry on top
But more importantly: before you even touch a thermometer or a test strip, let's make sure you're sitting at the feet of Jesus.
This one's a mix of science + spirit, and I pray it meets you exactly where you are.
In Him, Bekah
