Why Your Energy Changes Throughout Your Cycle

Introduction

Have you ever noticed that some weeks you feel highly productive, while other weeks even simple tasks seem more difficult?

Many women experience changes in energy levels throughout the menstrual cycle.

These fluctuations are often linked to hormonal changes that occur naturally throughout the month.

Many women experience:

Ovulation

Ovulation is commonly associated with:

Luteal Phase

During the luteal phase, progesterone rises.

Many women notice:
