Fertility Awareness: Know Your Cycle

Your menstrual cycle is a vital sign of overall health. Understanding its phases empowers you to make informed decisions about family planning and detect potential health issues early.

The Four Phases

Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5): The uterine lining sheds. Rest and iron-rich foods support recovery.

Follicular Phase (Days 6-14): Estrogen rises, energy increases. Ideal time for new projects and exercise.

Ovulation (Day 14): Peak fertility window. Track basal body temperature and cervical mucus for accuracy.

Luteal Phase (Days 15-28): Progesterone dominates. Focus on self-care as PMS symptoms may appear.
