The Secret Sex Tip You Need to Know
By Leesa Chalk Suzman
Days 8 Through 14
It's a GOOD WEEK for MAKING BABIES
Levels of estrogen are rising slowly and steadily as your body preps for ovulation on day 14. Possible signs that ovulation has occurred and your fertility is at its max: Vaginal discharge morphs from a yellow-white hue to clear, and it becomes stretchable, like egg whites. Some women also notice a bit of bleeding and cramping, called "mittelschmerz."
It's also a GOOD WEEK for YOUR MOOD
Estrogen first rises steadily, then surges rapidly. By day 14 (ovulation) things even out and you feel level. Organize your closets, straighten out your 401(k), rekindle a soured but greatly missed friendship.
SEX-LIFE BONUS
You may have sex on the brain 24/7. Other quirks of ovulation may include better orgasms — and men galore (research shows that men are drawn to ovulating women by their slightly different odor).
