#NaturalCycles

Testosterone levels in men are usually higher in the morning 🌞 hence morning erections, and decline throughout the day.⁠
⁠
For females, there is a surge in the main female sex hormone, estrogen, during the follicular phase. A rise in this hormone stops the production of follicles, allowing them to mature. One follicle eventually becomes dominant and releases an egg cell 🥚 The follicular phase begins on the first day of your period and ends with ovulation.⁠
⁠
During the luteal phase, the dominant follicle, or corpus luteam, produces progesterone, which is a hormone that causes body temperature to rise 📈 The progesterone causes the uterus lining to soften and prepare to shed 🩸While most sperm cells are contained within ejaculate, it is not the only place they hang around 😗 Smaller numbers of sperm cells are also found in pre-ejaculate (pre-cum), which is released before male orgasm ❤️‍🔥 For anyone who’s previously relied on the pull out method this is worth knowing, as this means that even if your partner withdraws in time, there is still a risk from pregnancy from that early sperm release 🏊 Follow the link in our bio to learn more 🔗INS for 2025 🫡Shared responsibility is hot ❤️‍🔥
⁠
...but more often than not it still falls firmly on female shoulders 🙄 At Natural Cycles we know it takes two to tango, so we created Partner View, a feature that gives you the power to share your fertility data with your partner 📲
