Does my sex drive increase while on my period?

It's super normal for your sex drive to increase while on your period. This happens due to the rise and fall of certain hormones that increase your libido (a.k.a sex drive)!
Yes, it can. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone all affect sexual desire and arousal. Having higher levels of estrogen in the body promotes vaginal lubrication and increases sexual desire. Increases in progesterone, on the other hand, can reduce sexual desire. Estrogen drops at the beginning of your menstrual cycle but then starts to climb steadily by day two or three, promotes libido (sex drive) and sexual desire.
