STEP 8 – WEEK 2: FOLLICULAR PHASE

broken image

You can think of this portion of your cycle as “ovulation prep week.” The week between your period and ovulation is dedicated to ensuring that your egg matures; and to making you feel great and in the mood, both of which are necessary for couples wanting to take advantage of the whole purpose of ovulation: maximum baby-making potential.

HORMONE HAPPENINGS

Your estrogen and testosterone levels begin to climb and eventually reach their highest levels. This has a positive effect on mood.

HOW YOU MIGHT FEEL

Again, everybody experiences her cycle differently, but this is probably a great week! Most women feel more energetic during this phase. Most of the physical discomforts and emotional downers like irritability and sadness experienced during the premenstrual and menstrual phases have eased up quite a bit at this point.

This is a great week to get things done and tackle difficult projects. Your libido will also probably start climbing.
