Manage episode 476240404 series 3533541
Today we debunk five common hormone myths to help you understand what's truly normal for your menstrual cycles and what symptoms might indicate hormonal imbalances.
• Your cycle doesn't have to be exactly 28 days—anything from 21-35 days is considered normal
• Not everyone ovulates on day 14—ovulation timing varies widely among individuals
• Signs of approaching ovulation include increased, stretchier cervical fluid and a temperature rise after ovulation
• Pregnancy can only occur during your fertile window (5-6 days before ovulation), not anytime in your cycle
• Severe period pain that disrupts daily activities isn't normal and warrants investigation
• Extreme mood swings that impact relationships or productivity may indicate hormonal imbalances
• Understanding your unique cycle patterns gives you more control over your hormonal health
