Daily micro-protocols for the 90-day miracle window

🔬 Pre-Bump Biology  

Timing wins pregnancies. Urinary LH strips pinpoint the 24–36-hour runway to ovulation, while home semen trackers standardize male-factor monitoring across the 74-day spermatogenesis cycle. Layer in cervical mucus (prospective) plus BBT/WST (retrospective) and you tighten the fertile window, boost total motile sperm exposure, and raise chances of a live birth within the first two cycles.

🧬 Protocol Drop  

Today’s Allopathic Protocol:
Test urine LH daily at 11 am–3 pm from CD9–11 (earlier if cycles <26 d). When the line rises, switch to twice daily until positive. Have intercourse on LH-2 and LH-1 (the two evenings before your strongest positive). Confirm ovulation with urinary PdG ≥5 µg/mL for 3 days in the week after the peak. Run two home semen tests this month, 7–14 days apart, with 2–5 days abstinence and mid-day collection.

Today’s Holistic Protocol:
Track cervical mucus at each restroom visit and BBT (on waking) or overnight WST daily. Begin intercourse every 24–48 h from first slippery/egg-white CM through two days after CM-peak. If cycles are irregular or you’re ≥35, add LH strips when CM first turns fertile to tighten timing.

📚 Glossary Pop  

PdG (pregnanediol-3-glucuronide): A breakdown product of progesterone measured in urine. Sustained PdG ≥5 µg/mL for 3 days after your LH peak is strong evidence that ovulation occurred and the luteal phase is underway.

Text your partner your LH plan and your CM signal for tonight. Timing is teamwork—lock it in.
P.S. Tomorrow Teaser
Tomorrow we put biology in motion: you’ll learn how compound strength training can boost testosterone and insulin sensitivity while a simple “boxers-only” policy keeps testicular temperature — and sperm production — in the optimal zone. One day, two powerful levers for conception.
