Let’s talk about a normal menstrual cycle for women – we have our eggs that’s held in a little capsule and then when we ovulate it pops open, the egg comes out and then the capsule that’s left over is called the corpus luteum.

When do you feel best during the month? Most women report feeling great right around ovulation.

To begin to talk about what is abnormal about women’s menstrual cycles, we have to first understand what is normal. Most doctors and experts tend to talk about the two phases of a menstrual cycle, but to more accurately represent the lived experience of having a menstrual cycle, we think four phases are more accurate. These are: Menstrual, Follicular, Ovulatory &
Luteal. Each phase has its own level of energy, physical changes, and hormone processes in the body. Each one also tells us a little bit about how you feel in the world at that time of the month.
