During the Preovulatory Phase?

Follicular Phase (also known as the Pre-ovulatory Phase)
This phase accounts for the first half of the menstrual cycle; beginning on the first day of your period and continues for 10 to 17 days. At birth, your ovaries contain all the immature eggs you will use during your entire lifespan.

What happens during the follicular phase?

The follicular phase starts on the first day of menstruation and ends when ovulation begins. During this stage, the ovaries produce follicles, which then house eggs. This stimulates the thickening of the uterus's lining. There's an increase in estrogen during this time.

What should we do during follicular phase?

Follicular Phase

In this case, try to consume foods that not only support follicle development but also help you metabolize estrogen as efficiently as possible. Examples include green vegetables, nuts, seeds, eggs, fish, and legumes.
