Around 20 women percent experience this light spotting when they get pregnant.

Your doctor can take a Pap smear, a sample of cells from your cervix the opening of the uterus at the p of the vagina to test for STIs and abnormal precancerous or cancerous cells.

Far more rarely, ‘post sex’ spotting can be a sign of cervical cancer. Taking hormones to cope with menopausal symptoms like hot flashes can also contribute to irregular bleeding. Studies have shown that women’s dreams are more frequent and often more vivid in the course of the premenstrual and menstrual phases of their cycles dot 1 Premenstrually, the veil between the worlds of the seen and unseen, the conscious and the unconscious, is much thinner.

Society isn’t nearly as keen on this as it’s on the follicular phase.

While preparing to develop or give birth to something that comes from deep within ourselves, in the course of the luteal phase we turn more inward.

Thus we judge our premenstrual energy, emotions, and inward mood as bad and unproductive.

Many women tend to block at any opportunity the flow of unconscious lunar information that comes to them premenstrually or during their menstrual cycle, since our culture generally appreciates only what we can understand rationally.

Lunar information is reflective and intuitive. It comes under cover of darkness. However, it comes to us in our dreams, our emotions, and our hungers. Throughout the new moon, ovulation and conception rates are decreased overall, and an increased number of women start their menstrual bleeding. Now regarding the aforementioned fact… Environmental cues similar to light, the moon, and the tides play a documented role in regulating women’s menstrual cycles and fertility. Timing of the menstrual cycle, the fertility cycle, and labor also follows the moon dominated tides of the ocean. We have access to parts of our often unconscious selves that are less available to us in general other times of the month. You can find a lot more information about this stuff on this website. While the left hemisphere becomes less active, as a matter of fact, it is shown experimentally that the right hemisphere of the brain the part associated with intuitive knowing becomes more active premenstrually.

a lot of women find that they are at their peak of expression in the outer world from the onset of their menstrual cycle until ovulation.

They are filled with enthusiasm and new ideas as well as being quite willing to fold the wels and fulfill their perceived role of helping others.

Their energy is outgoing and upbeat. As a result, in human endeavor, the monthly ripening of an egg and subsequent pregnancy or release of menstrual blood mirror the process of creation as it occurs not only in nature. Of course the macrocosmic cycles of nature, the waxing and waning, the ebb and flow of the tides and the changes of the seasons, are reflected on a smaller scale in the menstrual cycle of the individual female body. Although, the menstrual cycle is the most basic, earthy cycle we have. Known in many cultures, the menstrual cycle had been viewed as sacred. Anyway, our blood is our connection to the archetypal feminine. I’m sure you heard about this. Even in modern society, where we are cut off from the rhythms of nature, the cycle of ovulation is influenced by the moon.

Studies have shown that peak rates of conception and probably ovulation appear to occur at the full moon or the day before.

This can be offset by the simultaneous peak in testosterone production, that enhances ‘visualspatial’ ability while also increasing libido.

‘FSH LH’ surge and subsequent rise in hormone production that accompanies ovulation can be the biological basis for this, Ovulation represents mental and emotional creativity at its peak. Whenever reaching its peak at ovulation, and beginning to wane, Our creative biological and psychological cycle parallels the phases of the moon, recent research has found that the overall health of the reproductive tract is cyclic as well. Notice, from ancient times, what’s created and on the negative or difficult sides of our lives that need to be changed or adjusted, The weeks following ovulation lead up to the menses, it is evaluative and reflective time.

My researcher friend notes that during this part of her cycle, she prefers to do routine tasks that do not require much input from others or expansive thought on her part. Did you know that the menstrual cycle itself mirrors how consciousness becomes matter and how thought creates reality. On the expanded degree of ideas and creativity, therefore this first half of the cycle is a very good time to initiate new projects. Therefore, a researcher mate tells me that she has the most energy to act on ideas for new experiments during this part of her cycle.
