The Ovulation Phase

Written by Dr. Jennah Miller ND.

Welcome back to #menstrualmonday 🌸 Today we’re chatting all about self care, energies, and emotions associated with the ovulation phase of your menstrual cycle .
.
.
#ovulation typically occurs around cycle day 14 of a 28 day cycle - BUT because every single body is different, and not everyone’s cycle is 28 days long, you can ovulate anywhere from cycle day 14-21 in a typical menstrual cycle. .
.
.
During ovulation we experience a peak in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone as the egg is released from the follicle- which means we’re feeling vibrant, resilient, and extroverted. This is the peak of your outwardly directed yang energies, which makes ovulation a great time for scheduling social events, public speaking, and connecting with others. With increased energy comes increased strength and stamina, making high intensity exercise and weight lifting a breeze! .
.
.
Pro tip: use your ovulation energies to prep for your upcoming yin phase of menstruation. Pre-cook meals and store them in the freezer for when you’re energies are directed inwards, and cooking healthy meals is the LAST thing you want to do. .

How do you feel around ovulation? .
