Luteal phase

• Day 17 – 28
• The levels of all hormones in the body drop sharply
• PMS!!! Gradual decrease in energy, mood swings, increased appetite and sugar
• Simply - don't force yourself to exercise unnecessarily and treat yourself to rest, peace and relaxation.

In this phase, progesterone increases and then decreases. It grows first because it prepares the uterus for the implantation of the egg. However, if fertilization does not occur, the egg will disintegrate and the progesterone level will begin to drop sharply. And together with it, the levels of all other hormones - luteinizing hormone, estrogen and testosterone - fall.

At the same time, there are also changes in the level of neurotransmitters in the brain. At this stage, our attention narrows and naturally begins to turn inwards. We are great at activities that require attention to detail, calmness and balance.
