    At the 3-5 day mark, your period should have ended and your estrogen has kicked back in leading to more energy. Very Rosie The Riveter vibes during this time.

    6-9 days into your cycle, your estrogen is PUMPING. Your face might look more symmetrical and glowy. Testosterone is also kicking into gear, and you're on top of your game. This is a good time to take initiative.
