Research has found that the different stages of the cycle affect your dating behaviour! <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The menstrual cycle consists of 4 stages \u2013 menstruation, follicular, ovulation and luteal. Most of the shifts in behavior are mainly seen before, during or after the ovulation phase. This is a result of hormonal imbalances and an increase of luteinizing hormones in our bodies.*<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our community members were curious to know more about the topic, so to address their questions, we decided to write this article.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" class=\"wp-image-2217\" src=\"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1.gif\" alt=\"how and why the ovulation cycle affects our dating behavior\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-let-s-see-how-and-why-the-ovulation-cycle-affects-our-dating-behaviour-in-such-small-yet-significant-ways\" style=\"font-size: 22px;\"><b>Let\u2019s see how and why the ovulation cycle affects our dating behaviour in such small yet significant ways:<\/b><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-exploring-and-embracing-femininity\" style=\"font-size: 22px;\"><b>Exploring and embracing femininity<\/b><\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ovulation comes as an end to all mood swings experienced during menstruation, all thanks to the oestrogen boost that cheers us up and brightens our mood.

A woman\u2019s fertility is at its peak during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle and departs with ovulation*.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This phase is also perfect for women who are trying to conceive. With the <a href=\"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/does-pcos-affect-fertility\/\">fertility <\/a>window open, hormonal imbalances can not only affect existing relationships but also play a role in forming new ones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-right-time-to-match\" style=\"font-size: 22px;\"><b>The right time to match<\/b><\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the fertility window open, i.e., a few days before ovulation, women experience an increase in their libido. This is mostly because reproductive hormones such as testosterone are released and oestrogen is at its peak.*\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During this phase, the female body sends many signals &#8211; some are physical whereas some are completely invisible to everyone, including to one\u2019s own self. This also affects how we choose our partner and the qualities we look for in that person.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-better-sense-of-smell\" style=\"font-size: 22px;\"><b>A better sense of smell<\/b><\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not possible to identify a fertile woman with naked eyes as fertility has no physical appearance. However, apart from the blushy cheeks, our sense of smell also sharpens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A woman\u2019s desired partner can sense fertility through pheromones in the natural scent that we release during and around ovulation. The pheromones released by a woman during her ovulation phase are said to be desirable such as developing a higher pitch voice.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" class=\"wp-image-2218\" src=\"https:\/\/nuawoman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/4.gif\" alt=\"Ovulation cycle affects your dating behaviour\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope this gave you the confidence boost you deserved today!
