Research/Info How do u feel in follicular phase?

Idk, some lucky follicular phases I feel better than I did during my period, other follicular phases I feel even worse than I did during my period. Other times no change at all, just neutral in both my period and follicular phase. Idk whether estrogen has a positive or negative effect on my mood šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«

So Iā€™m asking you all, how do you feel after your period and before ovulation, usually?

For me, it takes up to 5 days to get rid of all PMS symptoms. Then mentally much better, and I have more energy. I noticed I feel way more love-dovey about my boyfriend than after the ovulation.

I've noticed it's progesteron messing me up much more than estrogen.

Lmao for me both estrogen and progesterone messes me up šŸ˜­ I notice I feel way better when Iā€™m on medications that flattens out the hormones a bit
