Nausea in your luteal phase
Nausea is a queasy, off-food feeling, sometimes around the first day of bleeding. In your luteal phase it tends to flare because progesterone rises and then falls in the days before your period, which can bring on nausea.
What's happening in your luteal phase
Progesterone rises then falls. Energy tapers, cravings and bloating can appear, and slower strength work plus magnesium-rich food help.
