So as well as checking your devices have changed to the new time, according to Dr Kinsella, after the clocks go forward, you may have less PMS and may not ovulate as frequently. “Some research has also suggested that pre-menstrual symptoms aren’t as strong in the summer. This could be because sunshine increases levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which causes an egg to develop,” he explains.

But that’s not all. We also – thankfully – might feel happier and more positive in the warmer months as morning light increases levels of luteinising hormone, which causes both oestrogen and progesterone to be released in different parts of the menstrual cycle, and triggers ovulation.

Whatever the time of year, though, Dr Kinsella says it’s important to track your cycle so that you can better understand how it works and quickly become aware of any changes.
