Early ovulation: the causes
Why is ovulation early?
- late age and premenopause,
- STRESS.
As we approach menopause, in fact, cycles tend to get shorter and it often happens that ovulation occurs immediately after the end of menstruation, around the 8th -10th day. "In addition to the period of premenopause, a shortening of the cycle and therefore an anticipation of ovulation can also occur in times of stress", highlights Rossana, a gynecologist at the University of Genoa. "This is because stress leads to an increased production of natural opioids that inhibit the production of gonadotropins, which can 'get' the cycle." And get it there early.
