Trying to conceive has really opened by eyes to how the different hormones during my cycle impact me both physically and emotionally. And I'm also learning that I can't compare myself to other people's cycles, because I'm on my own journey and my body is unique.
With that in mind- I'm still very interested in seeing how your cycle impacts your psyche and body.
Do share.

I feel pretty good during the first half of my cycle. I get up early and can get a lot done around the house and feel like I'm pretty much rocking life.
This month I felt that estrogen surge pretty dramatically. My skin condition flared up within hours:

I have a day of anxiety. Abdominal cramping, and that night I will usually wake up around 3 AM. Fun!
I need a lot more sleep during the second half of the cycle. I want to pay attention to other feelings and experiences I have. As I'm 2DPO now.
Understanding my body gives me the ability to be a little more patient and kind to myself during that LP.

I have never been so aware of my body as I have been during TTC, especially the TWW.
I really think I need to start keeping track so i can see what is cyclical, and what is different than normal.
