Brain fog in your ovulatory phase
Brain fog is fuzzy thinking, slower recall, and trouble concentrating. In your ovulatory phase it tends to flare because estrogen and testosterone peak and then drop sharply after the egg releases, which can bring on brain fog.
What's happening in your ovulatory phase
Estrogen and testosterone peak around ovulation. Confidence, libido, and verbal energy are highest, and skin often looks its best.
