@shesnotcrazyseries: Awesome Facts About The Luteal Phase The second she ovulates, her hormones fall by up to 85% in forty eight hours. A man would be 125 before he lost that much. That’s crash one. Then she’s got a fortnight on what’s left. And here’s the bit that got me. The progesterone in that fortnight gets broken down in her brain into something acting on the same receptors as alcohol and Valium. She isn’t tired. She’s being sedated by her own body. Then around day twenty five the gland that makes it dies, and she crashes again while coming off the sedative. Every month. Four hundred times. And in the months she is pregnant, that same gland is the only thing keeping it alive until the placenta takes over. No gland, no pregnancy. Every one of us got here because of it. That fortnight isn’t a mood. It’s the thing the species runs on. #shesnotcrazy #marriage #relationships #understandingwomen #lutealphase
This won’t show up on male tiktok probably! But we appreciate it lol

I’m so tired. And it just reads as laziness. It’s frustrating. Yes I want chocolate spread for breakfast even though I’m trying to eat healthy and I KNOW it doesn’t make sense to you. But it does to me.

And with all this we still go to work, go to school, have meetings, present results, solve problems. And some people still try to dismiss us as “too emotional”.

Women - Had anyone ever told you about the sedation one?
That’s the bit I keep coming back to. Not that it happens, but that so few women seem to have been told it happens, and end up assuming the tiredness is a failing.

the day before my period I always get a crazy burst of energy and desire to clean my house... it's a really lovely warning sign and I get to snuggle into a nice clean bed, but what's causing it?
