As women, we experience consistent changes throughout our monthly cycle. Unlike men, a woman’s body is constantly in a different phase of their cycle. Meaning, a woman is not the same every day of the month, so they need to care for their body appropriately by adjusting supplements to support what specific nutrients are needed most in each phase as their hormones shift.

As women, we’re told that if you simply eat right, exercise, and are mentally strong, everything else will fall into place. But the truth is, we live in a mineral deficient society and your body doesn’t have the basic mineral support it needs.

So no matter how hard you try, nothing will make you feel good until you restore your mineral levels to their necessary baseline.

Arlene Cycle Support is a daily essential mineral supplement designed to support a woman’s metabolic system according to the phase of her monthly cycle she is in, while also calming her entire nervous system to support her body as a whole.

In this blog, you’ll learn about common symptoms experienced in the “Complete Phase” (Days 8-21) of your monthly cycle and how you can intentionally support your body as your hormones shift.

At Arlene Cycle Support, we also call this your “Energy Weeks” because this is the time of your cycle you are likely to experience the most energy. This is the middle of the month and ovulation falls in this phase around day 14 or 1 week after bleeding is complete.

“Complete Phase” Symptoms May Include:

• Increased cervical mucus: As a woman approaches ovulation, her body produces more cervical mucus. This mucus is thin and slippery, and helps sperm to travel through the cervix and into the uterus.
• Changes in basal body temperature: Basal body temperature (BBT) is the body’s temperature at rest. During the follicular phase, a woman’s BBT may be slightly lower than normal. As ovulation approaches, BBT may increase slightly.
• Increased libido: Some women may experience an increase in sex drive during the “Complete Phase.” This may be due to hormonal changes that occur during this time.
• Breast tenderness: Some women may experience breast tenderness or swelling during the follicular phase. This is often due to hormonal fluctuations.
• Mood changes: Hormonal changes during the “Complete Phase” can also cause mood changes in some women.
• Ovulation pain: Some women may experience a mild cramping sensation during ovulation. This is often referred to as mittelschmerz, and it occurs as the egg is released from the ovary.

It’s important to note that not all women will experience these symptoms during the “Complete Phase”, and some women may experience different symptoms or no symptoms at all.

How To Support Your Body During This Phase:

• Take the “Complete Phase” Arlene Cycle Support Daily Supplement Packet. It’s designed to calm your nervous system, renew and restore your body, support cell renewal, and boost your immune system while loading your body with the probiotics and antioxidants you need for healthy digestion. (Yes, you need supplement support even when you feel the most optimal!)
• Take this time to plan and tap into your productivity and creativity. When you are looking at your monthly schedule, plan your most productive and creative activities during this phase (Days 8-21) of your cycle to maximize on your energy during this time.
• Eat a nutrient-dense diet. During ovulation, your body requires more nutrients to support the egg release and the potential for fertilization. Make sure you’re eating a balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. The more nutrient-dense foods, the better.
• This phase is when your body does best with high-intensity movement. Exercise like cycling, running, high-intensity walking, dancing, or HIIT movement will help move this energy in your body and support you in feeling your best.
• Enjoy intimacy with a partner. During ovulation, a woman’s libido and desire for intimacy may increase. Support your desire for physical connection and enjoy extra intimacy with a partner if you desire.

Conclusion:

Taking care of your body is crucial for optimal health and wellbeing. Understanding your monthly cycle helps you to better support yourself as your hormones and needs shift throughout the month.

The “Complete Phase” or the “Energy Weeks” is a time where you have an abundance of energy, creativity, and productivity.

By taking the Arlene Cycle Support Daily Supplement Packet, eating a nutrient-dense diet, engaging in high-intensity movement, and tapping into your productivity and creativity, can support your bodies even better during this time.

Let’s embrace our monthly cycles and give our bodies the support they need to thrive.
