Emotions During Follicular Phase

Understand how emotions change during follicular phase and what you can do as a partner.

With rising estrogen, mood improves significantly in the follicular phase. Optimism, motivation, and emotional openness increase — the brain is literally in a biochemically positive mode. This phase is the best time for deep conversations, addressing topics from the luteal phase, and jointly planning the coming weeks.

You feel something is changing.

You often feel it, but not always in words.

The problem is not the feeling itself, but having to explain it again and again or not feeling truly heard.

With Relara, you do not have to explain yourself all the time. You can connect with your partner, and he gets insight into what you are feeling now.
