Have wanted to ask this for a while but realise it might make me sound bonkers.

I 'know' when I am ovulating, and therefore have more than usual amounts of oestrogen in my body, because my skin feels so much smoother and my hair feels much silkier. My nails seem shinier. My eye sight seems to change too. My vision gets softer somehow, like seeing everything through soft focus. Colours seem more vivid. It all feels rather lovely actually  These aspects only last a couple of days though.

My GP refuses to believe me and says that as my hair is technically already 'dead' then it's texture can't be changed in just a couple of days. Same with my skin and nails.

Am I the only one?

Nope!  My friend's hair used to curl at the ends a few hours before it rained.  Her hair was long enough for her to sit on and we could watch it curling up 

Hormones have great power don't we know!  I was never aware when ovulating ……. but I have always been aware of HORMONES   

Her turn *will* arrive

Gosh that must have been freaky to watch 

When I was a little girl I had very long quite curly hair and my Mum insists she always knew if I was poorly because my hair would lose most of its curl and would go very dull looking.

Logically I don't see how this could be the case. But she insists?

Yep.  Atomospheric pressure apparently.  My Paternal grandma could tell if my period was due by looking at me [not something I ever discussed with her as she was 'Victorian'  ] and knew if someone was pregnant before they did
