Here’s a refresh for you about the phases of your cycle 🌙 🩸✨
We have 4 phases:
🩸Menstrual Phase: 1st day of your bleed is also the first day of your cycle, where the hormones are at its lowest. This phase can last between 3-7 days on average. Blood colour is usually bright and dark red, even brown at the end of your menstruation. Any other different colour, please check it with a doctor.
🌼 Follicular Phase: 2nd phase, you feel more energised due to oestrogen and testosterone rising. Time to plan and enjoy the good times!
🥚 Ovulation Phase: 3rd phase in which oestrogen and testosterone are at the peak, progesterone is also rising. You feel a lot of energy, and your libido is also high 🔥 Alone or not, enjoy! You are a goddess and deserve pleasure! The process of the egg being released lasts between 12-24 hours, duration of this phase. But since the s***m can survive up to 6 days, the fertile window is in this week. If you don’t want to get pregnant, use a condom.
🌹Luteal Phase: 4th phase in which progesterone peaks, you get a final energy high and then a low in which you may experience PMS, leading towards your menstruation. It’s the last phase of your amazing cycle. The luteal phase can last 11 to 17 days. For most women, it lasts 12 to 14 days.
How do you interpret and understand your phases? Take notes about your menstruation and always be aware of your ovulation day (we have a post explaining how to track it, check if you forgot). Then you will discover your cycle length. It may be different from cycle to cycle. To discover what is going in your body is truly important!
