Tracking Your Monthly Cycle
Understanding your monthly cycle is one of the most powerful ways to support your hormone health, improve your wellbeing, and feel more in tune with your body.
Our Seed Cycle Monthly Cycle Tracker helps you follow the natural rhythm of your menstrual cycle — from your period through ovulation and beyond — so you can better understand your moods, energy, and overall health. By recording your menstrual symptoms, you’ll start to notice patterns that make sense of those shifts in motivation, mood, and energy. When you understand these natural hormonal changes, you can:
Sync
Sync with your natural rhythm - aligning diet, movement and lifestyle with your body’s changing needs.
Plan
Use your cycle to schedule work, social time and rest when it suits you best.
Support
Nourish your body and support your hormone balance with seed cycling and nutrition.
The Four Seasons
A simple way to understand your cycle is to imagine it as the seasons of the year:
Winter (Menstruation) Your period begins as the uterus lining is released. This is a natural time for rest, reflection, and gentle self-care.
Spring (Follicular Phase) Ovaries prepare to release an egg. Energy rises, creativity sparks, and oestrogen brings positivity.
Summer (Ovulation) The egg is released. Many women feel their most confident, social, and energised here - the “high energy” phase.
Autumn (Luteal Phase) Progesterone rises and then drops. This is when women typically experience shifts in mood, anxiety, irritability, and PMS symptoms.
How hormones shape your cycle
Day 1 (Period starts): Oestrogen begins to rise, boosting mood, energy, and motivation.
Mid-cycle (Ovulation): Oestrogen dips while progesterone rises. You may feel more emotional or experience subtle shifts in energy.
After Ovulation (Luteal phase): Both oestrogen and progesterone fall. Mood changes, anxiety, or irritability are common — this is your body’s way of signalling the need for rest and nourishment.
The Luteal Phase (Autumn)
The luteal phase is often the most challenging part of the cycle — but also the most insightful. As hormones shift, it’s normal to feel more sensitive, anxious, or irritable, and to notice dips in energy or motivation.
By tracking your cycle, you can begin to anticipate these changes instead of being caught off guard. This allows you to:
✔ Pre-empt anxious or low-energy days with extra rest and gentle routines.
✔ Plan ahead with nourishing foods, calming activities, and more downtime.
✔ Remind yourself these feelings are part of the cycle — and they will pass.
Over time, you’ll start to see this phase not as a setback but as an opportunity to slow down, recharge, and connect with yourself.
Self-Care for Autumn & Winter Phases
Instead of fearing PMS or low-energy weeks, you can reframe this time as a chance to nurture yourself. Try:
✔ Spending quiet time alone or with loved ones
✔ Turning your phone off for a few hours
✔ Getting an early night
✔ Gentle exercise like yoga or swimming
✔ A warm bath to relax your body
✔ Journaling, reading, or meditation
✔ Eating nutrient-rich, hormone-supportive foods
✔ Reducing caffeine, alcohol, and sugar
✔ Supporting your cycle with natural Seed Cycle blends
