The Four Phases of Your Menstrual Cycle Explained
Your period is just one part of a powerful monthly cycle that your body goes through. By understanding each phase, you can learn to work with your cycle instead of fighting it 🌸
1. Menstrual Phase (Days 1–5)
This is when your period starts. Hormone levels drop and your body sheds the uterine lining. You might feel tired or emotional.
💡 Tip: Rest, stay hydrated, and use organic pads to avoid irritation.
2. Follicular Phase (Days 1–13)
This phase overlaps with your period but continues after. Your body prepares to release an egg. Estrogen starts rising, making you feel more energized.
💡 Tip: It’s a good time for fresh starts and productivity.
3. Ovulation Phase (Around Day 14)
The body releases an egg. Estrogen peaks and you may feel confident, social, and sexy. Discharge may increase and become more slippery.
💡 Tip: Your skin may glow. Enjoy this naturally high-energy phase.
4. Luteal Phase (Days 15–28)
Progesterone rises. PMS symptoms like mood swings, bloating, and cravings can kick in.
💡 Tip: Practice self-care. Use heating patches, eat nourishing foods, and be gentle with yourself.
