Tracking your period and/or ovulation has long become a routine of successful women to get to know more about their cycles and achieve their goals by smartly planning their activities when pursuing or preventing pregnancy during the fertility window.

3. Know your success time: when you’re most productive at work Surprisingly, knowing your cycle will help you reach for the stars on some special projects or at work. The first two weeks of the cycle are thought to be the time when women feel more eloquent. It happens due to upcoming estrogen levels, of course. The third week though may be the one when you’d want to take a break since a change in hormone levels might make you more anxious and less friendly.
