Many women will say they have more energy in that late follicular phase.
And so if you are looking at your workout structure, this is a day I want to try heavier weights or more reps.
It can be smart to put that in a time where you have a higher chance of being successful.
That's how I explain it.
I'm like, if you have...
Because estrogen is rising.
Yeah, exactly.
And you see the physiologic changes, heart rate variability, resting heart rate.
When that follicle ruptures and the egg is released, the granulosa cells that are surrounding it, which is what actually makes estrogen, get disrupted.
And so some women feel that transient breakage and their estrogens dropping before it reforms to become the corpus luteum and make again.
So you have this...
high peak estrogen and then some women are really sensitive to these hormonal changes and they feel that drop so that ovulation day may not always be your very best feeling day which makes women feel like it should be and like something's wrong with them on a side note we did um

Yes, exactly.
Middle schmertz.
Middle schmertz.
We had, so you can feel the follicle rupturing and that's called middle schmertz.
So it's German for in the middle because it tends to happen in the middle of your cycle when you ovulate.
It's a pain.
It's just a pain.
