Cambios hormonales
A surge in luteinizing hormone (LH) triggers the release of a mature egg from the dominant follicle. Estrogen peaks, and testosterone briefly rises, boosting libido, confidence, and energy. The fertile window spans approximately 5 days — the egg survives 12-24 hours after release.
Niveles hormonales durante esta fase
Síntomas

Qué esperar
Guía de nutrición
Support liver estrogen metabolism with cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts). Antioxidant-rich berries and adequate zinc support egg quality. Fiber helps clear excess estrogen. Light, fresh meals with healthy fats (avocado, olive oil) keep energy high without heaviness.
Recomendaciones de ejercicio
This is your peak performance window — ideal for challenging workouts, competitions, personal records, and high-intensity training. Your body is at its strongest with maximum muscle recruitment and coordination. Group sports and dance classes match your social energy. Take advantage of your highest pain tolerance and fastest recovery.
Cuidado de la piel
Skin looks its absolute best at ovulation — peak estrogen means maximum hydration, smallest pores, and natural glow. However, rising testosterone can trigger subtle oil production increases. Use a light moisturizer and gentle mattifying products if needed. Enjoy this peak — it's your skin's best days of the month.
Ánimo y energía
Peak confidence, sociability, and verbal fluency. Research shows women speak more fluidly and feel more socially connected around ovulation. Some women experience a surge of creative energy. A small number experience anxiety from the hormonal intensity — this is normal.
Consejos de autocuidado
This is a great time for important conversations, presentations, job interviews, and social events. Channel your peak confidence productively. Your communication skills and charisma are at their highest. Schedule date nights, networking events, or creative collaborations during this window.
