How does it work? (simplified)

Each cycle prepares the body for a possible pregnancy.

Period Follicular Luteal Ovulation Day 1 ≈ 28 days
Period ~ 5 days When pregnancy has not occurred, hormone levels fall and the uterus contracts to shed the blood-rich lining it built for the baby. ⚠️ Possible symptoms: cramps, pelvic and lower-back pain, fatigue, headaches, nausea, diarrhoea.
Follicular phase ~ 10 days As the period ends, oestrogen rises, an egg matures and the uterine lining begins to rebuild for a possible pregnancy. 🟢 Most women notice more energy and a better mood.
Ovulation ~ 24 h The ovary releases an egg, which can be fertilised for about 12 to 24 hours. ⚠️ Possible symptoms: one-sided pelvic pain, mild cramps, bloating, breast tenderness.
Luteal phase ~ 12 days After ovulation, progesterone rises and keeps the uterine lining ready for a possible pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, hormone levels fall and the lining begins to break down again, leading to Day 1 of the next cycle. ⚠️ Possible symptoms: bloating, breast tenderness, acne, cravings, fatigue, exhaustion, insomnia, headaches, brain fog, anxiety, irritability, mood swings, depression.

🔁 This cycle can repeat roughly every month for around 40 years, with possible pauses or changes, for example during pregnancy or while using hormonal contraception.During perimenopause, cycles often become less regular before stopping at menopause, which marks the end of the reproductive years.

Inès Aïsha

I'm Inès. I help teams figure out what to build,
make it real, and keep it on track.

My LinkedIn profile

I've spent almost 10 years working across product, innovation and strategy. The industries have changed, but the work has stayed the same: understand the problem, find the opportunity and get it out the door.

I like working where things are still a little unclear: talking to users, spotting patterns and shaping the direction. But above all, I like staying close to execution to make sure the original idea survives.

  • French French is my native language. I was born in Paris.
  • English I studied for a year in Manchester, and English has been my second working language ever since. I use it every day.
  • Spanish I worked in Mexico for a year in 2015, and living in Barcelona means I use Spanish every day.
  • Arabic I lived in Casablanca, Morocco, for ten years, so I can get by in everyday conversations.
