Breast cancer cells are more susceptible to chemotherapy at certain points in the menstrual cycle, suggests new study. In mice during oestrous phase, where progesterone levels are low, tumours are more susceptible to chemotherapy. The same effect was shown in humans in a small retrospective study.

Research found no evidence to support myth that women’s cognitive abilities change across menstrual cycle. Given physiological changes that occur across menstrual cycle, the changes to the brain are either small enough that they don't influence performance or women compensate for these changes.

Menstrual cycle hormone levels influence women’s attention to female faces, brain imaging study finds
Hormonal shifts during the menstrual cycle appear to influence how women process social information. A new fMRI study shows that progesterone enhances attentional control toward female faces by modulating brain activity in key cognitive regions.

A new study found women’s menstrual cycles used to align more closely with the lunar cycle 🌙. Today, synchrony is weaker but still detectable when gravitational pull peaks in January 📅.

Synchronization of women’s menstruation with the Moon has decreased but remains detectable when gravitational pull is strong
In modern times, menstrual cycles run in synchrony with the Moon only during Perihelion and Minor Lunar Standstills.

Women's libido drops during a specific phase of the menstrual cycle. This reduction in desire may serve an evolutionary function by lowering the risk of infection during a time when the body’s immune system is naturally suppressed.

Women’s libido drops during a specific phase of the menstrual cycle
New research suggests women experience a distinct dip in sexual desire during the implantation window. Scientists believe this decrease may be an evolutionary adaptation to protect the body from infection when the immune system is naturally suppressed.

🔬 Research published in Evolution and Human Behavior suggests women experience a decrease in sexual motivation during the implantation window (5-9 days post-ovulation).
🤰 This drop in desire may be an evolutionary adaptation to reduce the risk of infection when the body's immune system is naturally suppressed to prevent rejection of a potential embryo.
📉 The study, involving over 2,500 daily observations from undergraduate women, found significantly lower self-reported sexual desire and a one-third reduction in masturbation frequency during this specific phase compared to other cycle times.
