THE LUTEAL PHASE 🌚⁣⁣ Your luteal phase follows ovulation, and either closes with pregnancy, or continued menstruation. The purpose of this phase is to prepare the uterus for incubation, and preserve the environment created for the egg that was released during ovulation. Our body is working hard to retain the approximate FOUR OUNCES of blood and other fluids it is holding.⁣⁣ (Fun fact: your uterus continuously expands and contracts depending on the part of your cycle you are in. Prior to menstruation, your uterus can weigh up to 8 ounces, and then shrink back to 4 after your bleed.)⁣⁣ The luteal phase is ruled by the hormone progesterone, a reproductive hormone that vastly changes the atmosphere, and energy, of your body. For this reason, the luteal phase may also be caused the “progestational” phase.⁣⁣ The work going on behind the scenes is extensive. How this affects you mood, health, and nutrition-wise varies from person to person. However, there are some baseline acts of self-care that may enhance your experience. • Eating an intuitive, well-balanced diet ⁣⁣ • Resting (+ getting at least 6 hrs of sleep) ⁣⁣ • Spending time alone ⁣⁣ • Practicing mindfulness and gratitude⁣⁣ Further information on the luteal phase can be found on my website, link in bio! ✨

FULL MOON IN SCORPIO 🌕 Water is wet, but it sure ain’t thick. A shimmering reflection won’t fix a nervous tick. The mirror only becomes a looking-glass once you start searching for something more. In time, you’ll find silence and laughter can do much more. Admiration is a grand thing, but in an ill-hearted pursuit, it may become a bore. If you’re only wondering and longing, it’s a soul’s chore. By holding a half-severed heart in your hand, you can turn the whole world red. But don’t let it turn you in your bed.

In this article, we’ll learn about the follicular and luteal phases, and how to care for our bodies during them. Included is detailed information on these widely unknown parts of our cycle, as well as nutritional and wellness advice. LINK IN BIO! ✨
