@rwlapp: If you’ve been sent this - get reading!! 👀 Let’s be real: most people don’t fully understand the menstrual cycle beyond period week. But the truth? That’s only one part of a 4 phase hormonal journey most women go through every single month. And it impacts everything - energy, mood, food, workouts and emotions. Here’s the breakdown you didn’t know you needed: 🩸 Phase 1: Menstrual (Typically days 1–5) This is when the bleeding starts. Hormones are at rock bottom, energy is low, cramps are real and rest becomes essential. Think: recovery mode. She’s craving warmth, comfort food, iron (and probably chocolate). Show up with snacks and space. 🌱 Phase 2: Follicular (Typically says 6–14) Estrogen starts rising, energy builds and creativity and focus kick in. She’s more social, more productive and ready to take on everything again. 🔥 Phase 3: Ovulation (Typically around Day 14) Her estrogen and testosterone are at their peak, her skin’s glowing and confidence is high. Compliment her, flirt back and don’t underestimate her! 🌪 Phase 4: Luteal (Typically days 15–28) The shift begins. Progesterone rises, and if pregnancy doesn’t happen, things start to drop; cue PMS. She might feel more sensitive, tired, introverted and hungry PROBABLY for carbs and chocolate. So no, women aren’t “moody.” They’re managing a 28-day internal cycle that affects literally everything. 👀 Tag someone who should see this - and if you’ve been sent this... get reading #ovulationphase #menstrualcycle #hormones #energylevels #periodtalk
