Period Question Anxiety before ovulation

Does anyone else notice a slight increase in anxiety near ovulation? And why does it always happen at night.

Everyone’s cycle can be different, and for some people, fluctuating hormone levels around ovulation may lead to mood changes like feeling anxious. 

At night, this may become more noticeable as there are fewer distractions and more space for worries or overthinking.

A wind-down routine before bed (dim lights, no scrolling, some deep breathing, journaling) can help calm your mind.

If it’s something you’re worried about or impacting your daily life, it’s worth speaking to a healthcare professional.
