A comprehensive monthly-support formula combining magnesium and vitamin B6 with saffron, ashwagandha and traditional botanicals to support hormonal activity, energy and everyday wellbeing.
KIKI Health PMS Support Capsules are a targeted daily supplement created to support physical and emotional wellbeing throughout the menstrual cycle. The formula combines magnesium, vitamin B6, vitamin B5, zinc and folic acid with a concentrated botanical blend including saffron, ashwagandha, dong quai, asparagus root and broccoli sprouts. Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity, while magnesium supports normal muscle and psychological function and, together with B6, contributes to reducing tiredness and fatigue.
The botanical blend adds another dimension to the formula. Saffron has been investigated in randomised, placebo-controlled research for premenstrual symptoms, while ashwagandha has been studied more broadly for its relationship with stress and psychological wellbeing. KIKI also includes traditionally used botanicals such as dong quai and asparagus root, creating a comprehensive monthly-support formula rather than relying on a single nutrient. Each serving contains 100% active ingredients with no fillers or artificial additives.
Medical advice: Femme recommends seeking advice from your GP before using this product and consulting your fertility clinic if you are taking prescribed fertility medication. KIKI Health advises anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding or under medical supervision to consult a healthcare professional before use. Those taking hormonal treatments, blood thinners or other prescription medicines should also check suitability with their doctor or pharmacist.

Love coffee? Let’s make it cycle-smart Love coffee but not always the jitters, sleep dips, or hot flushes that can tag along? Your caffeine sensitivity can shift across your menstrual cycle and again in perimenopause and menopause. Here’s a friendly, science-savvy guide to timing, dosing, and swapping your brew so it works with your body, not against it. This International Coffee Day, we’re sharing all our tips for enjoying your coffee while nuturing your body and hormones throughout your cycle. Key things to note… Sensitivity to caffeine can vary across your cycle. Keep coffee to the morning, after food, and avoid for up to 6–8 hours before bed. In PMS/luteal and during peri/menopause, try smaller cups, half-caff/decaf, and iced options. Track what changes for you (sleep, mood, hot flushes, anxiety, digestion). Bean Basics Caffeine can hang around for 6–8 hours; late cups can nudge anxiety and sleep issues. Try coffee 60–90 minutes after waking to avoid stacking on your natural morning cortisol spike. Eat first (protein + fibre) and drink water alongside to reduce jitters. Everyone’s sensitivity is different - and it can change across your cycle and through midlife. Brewed Awakening: Time Your Caffeine to Your Cycle Menstrual Phase (period days) Lower energy and cramps are common. Try: gentler brew, smaller cup, after a protein-rich breakfast. If cramps/IBS flare: switch to half-caff, decaf, cacao, or herbal options. Follicular Phase (energy rising) Many feel more caffeine tolerant here. Try: 1–2 small cups AM only; pair with water. If you tend to feel anxious: keep it to one. Ovulatory Phase (peak energy, sometimes “wired”) Great vibes… or buzzy. Try: one cup mid-morning, skip the second. If edgy: half-caff or matcha. Luteal/PMS (often more sensitive) Sleep and mood can dip; caffeine may amplify both. Try:half-caff/decaf, stop by early afternoon, hydrate well. Support: steady meals (protein + fibre) to keep blood sugar calm. Perimenopause & Menopause Hot flushes, fragmented sleep, and anxiety can be more caffeine-reactive. Try: iced or decaf, smaller cups, always after food, avoid late-PM. Track: notice patterns between caffeine and symptoms (more on that below). How Much Caffeine Is in My Cup? Typical ranges (brands and brews vary - use these as guides only): Espresso (1 shot / 30–40 ml): 60–75 mg Brewed coffee (240 ml): 80–100 mg Cold brew (350 ml): 150–240 mg Instant (240 ml): 60–80 mg Decaf (240 ml): 2–15 mg Black tea (240 ml): 40–60 mg Green tea (240 ml): 20–45 mg Matcha (1 tsp): 50–70 mg Cacao (1 tbsp): 10–25 mg Sleep tip: Many people sleep better when their last caffeine is 6–8 hours before bedtime (earlier for those of us who are sensitive to caffeine). Smart Swaps & Helpful Add-Ons Swaps: half-caff, decaf, matcha, cacao, chicory/dandelion “coffee.”Add-ons: cinnamon, milk/protein, ice (for hot flushes), and a water chaser. Two calmer-caffeine recipes to try: Cool Calm Latte (decaf, iced) 1 shot decaf espresso (or strong decaf coffee) Ice + milk of choice Pinch cinnamon, Drop of vanilla extract Optional: a scoop of collagen or protein if it suits you Cacao Chill (mocha-style, optional decaf) 1 tbsp cacao powder Milk of choice + ice 1 shot espresso (or decaf espresso) Whisk or shake until smooth Our simple cycle & coffee recommendations Follicular: 10:00 small latte → water → skip any coffee after 14:00. Luteal: 09:30 half-caff flat white after breakfast; herbal tea later. Peri/Meno: 11:00 iced decaf with lunch; protect sleep window. Track Your Response (Simple Check-In) Pick a week (or two) and jot a quick daily note on: Sleep: time to fall asleep, night wakings Mood/Anxiety: calm ↔ jittery Hot Flushes: frequency/intensity Digestion: comfy ↔ crampy/urgent Caffeine: what/when/how much Patterns beat guesswork. If something feels off, scale back, shift timing earlier, or try a swap. FAQs How many cups are “okay”? It depends on your sensitivity and goals. Many feel best at ≤ 1 small cup in luteal/PMS and peri/menopause. In more tolerant phases, 1–2 small AM cups can be fine. Is decaf “caffeine-free”? Not entirely - decaf still contains a small amount of caffeine (often 2–15 mg per cup). What about matcha? Matcha can feel smoother for some due to L-theanine, but it still contains caffeine (roughly 50–70 mg per teaspoon). Coffee and Hormones Round-Up So that's it, there are our tips of coffee and hormones. Coffee can absolutely be part of a hormone-friendly routine - especially when you time it, size it, and tailor it to your current phase. Start with morning-only, after food, wrap by early afternoon, and keep an eye on sleep and symptoms. Your kinder-caffeine sweet spot is personal—and worth finding.
Learn moreIntroduction Your menstrual cycle doesn’t just affect your body – it plays a major role in your mental health, too. Hormonal fluctuations throughout the month can lead to shifts in mood, energy levels, anxiety, and focus. Understanding the link between your menstrual cycle and mental health can help you feel more in control, supported, and empowered. 1. The Menstrual Cycle and Hormonal Changes Your menstrual cycle is divided into four key phases: menstrual, follicular, ovulation, and luteal. Each phase brings changes in hormone levels, particularly oestrogen and progesterone, which directly influence brain chemistry. Menstrual Phase (Days 1–5): Hormones are at their lowest, which can lead to fatigue, low mood, and irritability. Follicular Phase (Days 6–14): Rising oestrogen can boost mood, energy, and cognitive function. Ovulation (Around Day 14): A surge in oestrogen and luteinising hormone may increase confidence and libido. Luteal Phase (Days 15–28): Rising progesterone and declining oestrogen can lead to mood swings, anxiety, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). 2. Mental Health Symptoms by Cycle Phase Mood Swings: Especially common in the luteal phase due to hormone withdrawal. Anxiety: Fluctuating progesterone levels may heighten anxiety sensitivity. Depression: Low oestrogen levels during menstruation can lower serotonin, a mood-regulating neurotransmitter. Brain Fog: Hormonal changes can impair focus and mental clarity, particularly during PMS. 3. What is PMDD? Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of PMS that affects 3–8% of menstruating individuals. It includes intense emotional and physical symptoms such as depression, irritability, and tension during the luteal phase. If your cycle is consistently impacting your mental health, speak to a healthcare provider about PMDD or other hormonal mood disorders. 4. How to Support Your Mental Health Through Your Cycle Track Your Cycle: Use an app or journal to monitor symptoms and identify patterns. Eat Nutrient-Rich Foods: Support hormone balance with foods rich in B vitamins, magnesium, and omega-3s. Exercise Regularly: Gentle movement like walking or yoga can boost endorphins and reduce anxiety. Prioritise Sleep: Rest is crucial for hormonal regulation and emotional resilience. Consider Supplements: Adaptogens and nootropics, like magnesium or lion’s mane, may help support mood and cognitive function. Always consult a health professional before starting anything new. Conclusion Your mental health and menstrual cycle are deeply connected. By tuning into your body and recognising how hormonal shifts affect your mind, you can create a more compassionate and informed approach to self-care. Remember: what you feel is real, and support is available.
Learn moreEvery year, World IVF Day gives us a chance to pause and talk openly about a journey that millions of women and families go through, often in silence. Behind every fertility appointment, blood test, and medication schedule is something deeply personal: hope. Hope for good news. Hope for the future. Hope for a family. At Femme, that journey is represented by Faye. Faye isn't just a character. She's someone many women will recognise a little of themselves in. She dreams of having her own family one day, and like so many women navigating fertility challenges, she knows that the road to parenthood isn't always straightforward. There are moments when she feels excited and optimistic. There are moments when she feels frustrated, overwhelmed, and tired of waiting. Yet through it all, she continues to show up for herself, her loved ones, and the life she's building in the present while still holding onto her dreams for the future. Faye represents the resilience, patience, and strength that so many women carry every day, especially when their fertility journey isn't going to plan. For some women, that journey may eventually include IVF. What is IVF? IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) is a fertility treatment where eggs are collected from the ovaries, fertilised with sperm in a laboratory, and then transferred back into the uterus as an embryo. People pursue IVF for many different reasons, including ovulation disorders, blocked fallopian tubes, male-factor infertility, unexplained infertility, age-related fertility challenges, and family building for LGBTQ+ couples and single parents by choice. Even though IVF has become increasingly common, it can still feel overwhelming when you're experiencing it for the first time. Between appointments, medication schedules, and unfamiliar terminology, there can be a lot to process emotionally and physically. If you're considering IVF or are already preparing to start treatment, here's what a typical IVF timeline might look like. The IVF Timeline: What to Expect Week by Week Weeks 1–2: Initial Consultation and Testing The IVF timeline usually begins with a series of tests and consultations. Your clinic may arrange: Blood tests and hormone panels Ultrasound scans Ovarian reserve testing Semen analysis (where applicable) This stage is all about understanding your individual fertility picture and creating a treatment plan tailored to you. Weeks 2–6: Priming Phase (If Required) Some treatment protocols include a priming phase using birth control or other medications. Although it might feel like a delay, this step helps prepare your body and encourages follicles to develop more evenly once stimulation begins. Days 1–12: Ovarian Stimulation This is often the stage people most associate with IVF. Daily hormone injections encourage the ovaries to produce multiple eggs rather than the single egg typically released during a natural cycle. During this time, you'll attend regular monitoring appointments where your clinic tracks follicle growth through blood tests and ultrasound scans. For many women, this can be one of the busiest stages of treatment. Between medication timings, dosage adjustments, and appointments, there's a lot to keep track of. Trigger Shot Once the follicles have reached the ideal size, you'll take a trigger injection to help mature the eggs before collection. Timing is incredibly important at this stage and is usually scheduled 34–36 hours before egg retrieval. Egg Retrieval Egg retrieval is a short procedure typically performed under light sedation. Using ultrasound guidance, eggs are collected directly from the ovaries. Most women return home the same day and spend the next day or two resting and recovering. Days 1–6: Fertilisation and Embryo Development Once collected, the eggs are fertilised in a laboratory. Over the next few days, embryologists carefully monitor embryo development. By days five or six, healthy embryos may reach what's known as the blastocyst stage, when many clinics choose to freeze or transfer them. Embryo Transfer The embryo is transferred back into the uterus either during the same cycle (fresh transfer) or during a later cycle (frozen embryo transfer). The procedure itself is usually quick and relatively painless. The hard part often isn't the transfer—it's the waiting that comes after. The Two-Week Wait If you've ever spoken to someone who has gone through IVF, you've probably heard about the infamous "two-week wait." For many women, this is the most emotionally challenging part of the entire process. Every sensation feels significant. Every day feels longer than normal. Every symptom gets analysed. Every phone notification can bring a wave of anticipation. It's a period where all you can really do is wait and hope. Beta hCG Test Usually around two weeks after embryo transfer, a blood test measures hCG levels to determine whether implantation has occurred. Sometimes additional tests are needed to confirm that hormone levels are rising appropriately. For many women, this is a moment they've been working towards for months or even years. Understanding Your Body Along the Way Fertility journeys often come with a crash course in cycle literacy—and knowing when you ovulate and how your hormones shift can be genuinely empowering, especially through the ups and downs of treatment. Basal body temperature (BBT) tracking confirms ovulation and reveals hormonal patterns by capturing the subtle temperature rise post-ovulation and dip before your period. The catch? Traditional BBT tracking demands rigid discipline—same wake time daily, temperature taken before you move, speak, or even think. One missed morning and your data suffers. During an already demanding IVF timeline, that kind of pressure is the last thing you need. A Smarter Way to Track Tempdrop takes that burden off your plate. This comfortable wearable works while you sleep, continuously monitoring temperature overnight and syncing automatically—no alarms, no perfect routines, no anxiety over a restless night or early appointment throwing off your chart. Built on proven BBT science, Tempdrop's smart algorithm filters out disturbances and adapts to irregular schedules, so you still get reliable data even when IVF's early mornings, medication side effects, and unpredictable days make consistency hard. When so much of the process already feels out of your hands, having a clearer, effortless window into your cycle can offer something invaluable: a little more confidence and control along the way. The Part People Don't Always Talk About While IVF timelines follow a medical timeline, fertility journeys rarely follow an emotional one. That's why Faye's story feels so important. Like many women, Faye is learning that fertility isn't something you can simply schedule or control. It's a journey that often requires patience, resilience, and self-compassion. Some days she feels hopeful. Some days she feels exhausted by the waiting. Some days she wonders if everyone around her seems to be moving forward while she remains stuck in place. And that's completely normal. The reality is that fertility journeys aren't defined by appointment dates, ovulation charts, or treatment milestones alone. They're defined by the courage it takes to keep believing in your future, even when the path isn't clear. Faye reminds us that it's possible to hold hope and uncertainty at the same time. To dream about tomorrow while still embracing today. To Every Woman Navigating Fertility Challenges This World IVF Day, we're thinking about every woman who is trying to conceive, undergoing treatment, waiting for answers, grieving setbacks, celebrating milestones, or simply taking things one day at a time. Whether your journey includes IVF or not, your experience is valid. Like Faye, you are allowed to dream about the future while still embracing the life you're living today. You are allowed to feel hopeful and vulnerable at the same time. You are allowed to have difficult days. And most importantly, you are not alone.
