The 4 phases of the menstrual cycle - Phase 1

Phase 1 - Spring⁠⁠.

The Follicular Phase 🌱
⁠⁠
This phase starts the day after our period stops and lasts for about 7 to 10 days.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Hormonally at this time, our egg follicles start to get bigger and our oestrogen increases. Our body is preparing to host and release an egg.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Our physical energy increases, and we may feel a little bit restless.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This phase is all about creativity and new beginnings. It's a really good time to start new projects at work and at home.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We may also feel more than likely that we want to be social at this time.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The Follicular phase is a good time of the month to try out new exercises or workouts.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
During this phase, we are forming lots of new neural connections in our brain really easily.⁠⁠
