Yes, I am talking about periods, and specially different phases.
For those who don’t know, A girl goes through four different phases during her entire menstural cycle

1. Menstrual Phase (Period):
   What’s happening: The uterus sheds its lining, causing your period.
   Hormones: Estrogen and progesterone are at their lowest.
   Duration: Usually 3–7 days.
   Energy: Lower energy levels; your body may need more rest.
   Common experiences: Cramps, bloating, headaches, and increased sensitivity.
2. Follicular phase:
   What’s happening: The ovaries prepare an egg and the uterine lining rebuilds.
   Hormones: Estrogen gradually rises.
   Duration: From Day 1 until ovulation.
   Energy: Energy and motivation usually increase.
   Common experiences: Better mood, improved focus, and feeling more social.
3. Ovulation phase:
   What’s happening: A mature egg is released from the ovary.
   Hormones: A surge in LH triggers ovulation.
   Duration: Around 24 hours.
   Energy: Often the highest of the entire cycle.
   Common experiences: Increased confidence, higher libido, and sometimes mild pelvic pain.
4. Luteal phase
   What’s happening: The body prepares for a possible pregnancy.
   Hormones: Progesterone rises and then falls if pregnancy doesn’t occur.
   Duration: About 12–14 days.
   Energy: Energy gradually decreases.
   Common experiences: PMS symptoms such as cravings, bloating, irritability, and mood changes.
