The luteal phase happens right after ovulation and goes until the day before your next period. It's the period when the body prepares to welcome a possible life, producing more progesterone. You might feel a bit calmer, sleepier, or even more sensitive (this is where PMS can show up!). It's an invitation from your body to look inward, rest more, and take care of yourself with kindness. Respect your slower pace during this phase, you deserve this rest!
