My mood changes

Mood swings are caused by variations in hormones during the 4 phases of the menstrual cycle.

The 2 hormones responsible for a woman’s cycle are oestrogen and progesterone.

 

Each person’s experience is different and these changes can vary from one cycle to another. Knowing which phase of the cycle you’re in will help you to cope better with your emotions and organise yourself better.

 

Phase 1: menstruation (‘period’).

During this phase, you may feel tired, sad or angry, and you may want to be alone more. You’re also pensive, creative and have lots of good ideas and intuition. You’re a magician!

Phase 2: pre-ovulatory phase (after your period)

During this phase, your oestrogen levels rise, which gives you energy. You feel more confident, you’re in a good mood and you can work harder than usual. It’s the ideal time to organise, take action and get things done. You’re a magnificent warrior.

Phase 3: Ovulation.

During this phase, hormone levels are at their highest. You feel beautiful and in a good mood. You communicate a lot with the outside world, you share, you want to go out and see people. You’re a real influencer.

Phase 4: The premenstrual phase (before your period).

Before your period, you may want to cry, feel misunderstood or angry… In fact, you just need some peace and quiet around you. You can slow down and observe. At this time of year you’re watching, listening and it’s easy to see what needs to be done. It’s the perfect time to make decisions. You’re like a Queen!
