6 Foods to Eat During Ovulation

Ovulation takes place around day 13-15 of your cycle, it is the halfway point between two consecutive periods. During ovulation, your hormones are the highest at this time. After your period your estrogen starts to rise during the follicular phase, the first half of your cycle. FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) increases during the follicular phase to tell your ovaries to produce an egg and right before you ovulate you have an LH surge (luteinizing hormone) to tell your ovary to release the egg. Once you have ovulated your progesterone should kick in, rise, then peak. Just after ovulation your hormones peak. This is the time when your energy is the highest, you may feel like doing more things, maybe you’re more social during this time. To support this time of the month, it is important to be consuming the right foods to eat during ovulation.

What is Premenstrual Syndrome?

,

PMS stands for premenstrual syndrome which is defined as life-disrupting physiological and psychological changes in the luteal phase of the cycle, or the second half of your cycle. After the menstrual cycle begins, symptoms typically disappear. PMS can be predicted due to hormone imbalances with estrogen and progesterone, specifically high estrogen and low progesterone. During the start of the luteal phase, occurs after ovulation, progesterone is increasing, but if pregnancy doesn’t happen progesterone will drop by the end of the phase. This drop-in progesterone may be more extreme for some women and this causes estrogen to increase rapidly. Additionally, this hormone imbalance can be caused by other factors such as stress. This extreme shift in hormone levels could be the cause of PMS symptoms. Here are 8 symptoms that can occur in the luteal phase of your cycle that contribute to PMS.
