Pinpoint & Prime: BBT+LH Timing Meets Breath-Led Pelvic Release
Code to Conception
Daily micro-protocols for the 90-day miracle window
Day 15 of 90

🔬 Pre-Bump Biology
Ovulation timing is everything: the LH surge precedes egg release by ~12–36 hours, and progesterone’s post-ovulatory rise creates a tell-tale BBT lift. Pairing app-guided LH + BBT pinpoints the fertile window, while diaphragmatic + pelvic-release breathing reduces stress and pelvic floor guarding—two stealth blockers of intercourse comfort, implantation readiness, and conception.
🧬 Protocol Drop
Today’s Allopathic Protocol:
Open a validated app (e.g., Natural Cycles “Plan”). Take BBT on waking ≥5–6 mornings/week and follow LH test prompts (first-morning urine). Have intercourse daily or every other day from ~2 days before the app-predicted ovulation through ovulation. Skip NSAIDs during this window.
Today’s Holistic Protocol:
Practice slow nasal breathing at 6 breaths/min (4s inhale / 6s exhale) for 15 minutes, 2×/day, synchronized with a gentle pelvic “drop” on each inhale in a supported supine or child’s-pose position. Aim for ≥30 minutes total/day; add PFPT if you have high-tone pelvic floor symptoms.

📚 Glossary Pop
Luteinizing hormone (LH): A pituitary hormone that spikes just before ovulation, signaling the ovary to release a mature egg. A positive urine LH test means you’re in the most fertile 24–48 hours; time intercourse now and confirm ovulation afterward with the BBT rise.
