Signal 09: Steps.

We've reached the ninth and final signal. And it's one that trips up a lot of women: movement.

The fitness industry tells you more is better. The wellness industry tells you to slow down. Fertility forums are full of contradictory advice about exercise.

Here's what 25 years of clinical practice has taught me: the relationship between movement and fertility is deeply personal and deeply cyclical.

→ In your follicular phase (spring), your body generally tolerates and benefits from more vigorous activity
→ Around ovulation, moderate activity supports blood flow and hormonal signaling
→ In your luteal phase (autumn), your body often needs gentler movement — and pushing too hard can raise cortisol at exactly the wrong time
→ During menstruation, rest and gentle movement support the renewal process

The women who struggle aren't usually the ones who don't exercise at all. They're the ones doing the same high-intensity workout every day regardless of cycle phase.

Conceivable tracks your movement patterns across your cycle and recommends what YOUR body needs, when it needs it.

That's all nine signals. Hormones. Energy. Cycle quality. HRV. VO2 max. Blood sugar. Sleep. Stress. Movement. Together, they tell your fertility story.
