OVULATION
SUMMER | A 24-Hour Event
This is the season of full bloom.
Energy, confidence, and connection peak here, your body's way of preparing for the possibility of new life.
What's Happening RIGHT NOW
IN YOUR BODY
Ovulation itself is brief, the release of a single egg, generally lasting around 24 hours. The rising energy many women associate with this time actually begins earlier, in the second half of the follicular phase, as estrogen climbs toward its peak. That energy tends to carry into this window, where confidence, social ease, and physical vitality often feel most alive. Your fertile window includes the several days leading up to ovulation, when cervical fluid becomes slippery and abundant enough to help sperm travel toward the egg, through the day ovulation happens itself.
