Basically, I feel good from cycle days 5 to 20, but AMAZING between days 8-15. (and then HORRIBLE during days 22-26, then i usually get my period on day 26-27)

I'll be 40 soon....thinking about hormone changes. Worried that as I get older I won't feel that beautiful boost of energy, libido, happiness, etc. that I get during ovulation week.

Is there any way to trick my body into always feeling how it does days 8-15? A hormone cocktail? Supplements? (I currently have the hormone-free Paragard IUD....i have been on the pill in the past, and felt great...no side effects EXCEPT for it killed my libido, which is why i switched to Paragard)

Or alternatively, are there any ways to make days 22 to 26 suck less?
