Men Cycles and Women's Cycles



Men have a 24 hour hormonal cycle. Testosterone levels in men tend to peak in the morning and diminish over the course of the day. They then rise again the next morning with the beginning of the new cycle.


Women have an average hormonal cycle of 28 days. Oestrogen and testosterone levels rise around the second week of the cycle, peak at ovulation and then diminish as progesterone levels rise and dip the week leading to menstruation and then begins a new cycle.


Men go through the same hormonal cycle every 24 hours so will generally feel similarly at the same times from day to day.


Women go through a cycle in approximately a month and so may feel similarly at the same time each month but certainly feel very different from day to day.


We all have circadian rhythms that means we're awake during the day and asleep at night but the point I am trying to illustrate is that while men will be the same every day, women will not.


Our society is based on a 24 hour cycle. Work days and other structures are built on the assumption of a 24 hour cycle.


The assumption is: what we did last week (the effort we put in, the emotional availability for the task, the concentration capacity etc.) we should be able to do the same next week. While this is more likely true for men, it certainly isn't for women.


I hope I have been clearer this time in trying to illustrate my point but please come forward if you disagree of have questions. I am currently in an agreeable stage of my cycle and willing and open to engage.


I also hope this information may be helpful to women to let you know.. you are not meant to be the same every day.


Unlike the Sun, the masculine principle which shines in wholeness every day we are daughters of the Moon, we are different on each day of our cycle so full permission to act in accordance with how you feel from day to day. Check in with yourself. We are not like men.
