Ovulatory Phase
Peak estrogen. The fertile window. Often your highest energy days.
The ovulatory phase is the shortest phase — typically 3–5 days around the middle of your cycle. An LH surge triggers the release of an egg. Estrogen peaks and testosterone rises, often producing a noticeable boost in energy, confidence, and libido.
Hormones
LH surges triggering ovulation. Estrogen peaks. Testosterone rises briefly. Progesterone begins to rise after ovulation.
