*Diplophase* is a term that refers to the phase of a woman's menstrual cycle during which she ovulates. This is the period of time when a woman has the highest chance of becoming pregnant. But what is diplophase and how does it work?
Diplophase can be defined as the middle of the menstrual cycle, that is, the period when the egg has just passed ovulation and can be fertilized. This is the time when the level of hormones in a woman’s body changes dramatically. In particular, estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate, affecting the ebb and flow of female hormones and the body's hormonal responses.
On average, the diplophase lasts about 2 days, starting from the moment of ovulation and ending the night before the next menstruation. However, the duration of the diplophase may vary depending on individual cyclicity. Since the diplophase is the time when the ovaries are at their most productive, fertile women have a high risk of becoming pregnant during this period. Women avoiding pregnancy can also use the diplophase period to take precautions, such as using birth control.
Typically, women may experience changes in their behavior, body, and health during diplophase. Some women complain of irritability, increased hunger, decreased energy and swelling. Others may feel a surge of energy, improved mood and desire to exercise. In addition, some women also notice changes in their menstrual cycles, such as shorter cycles or changes in the duration or amount of bleeding.
The intensity of diplophase symptoms varies, and each woman may experience them differently. The duration of the diplophase also varies between women, but it is typically 7-14 days per cycle. This period is usually associated with increased fertility in women, so many couples use it to plan a pregnancy.
