π UNDERSTANDING YOUR MENSTRUAL CYCLE
Your menstrual cycle is more than just your period. Itβs a natural hormonal process that prepares your body for a possible pregnancy and can offer valuable insight into your reproductive health. πΈ
The cycle generally moves through four phases:
π©Έ Menstruation β your period begins as the uterine lining is shed.
π± Follicular Phase β hormones support the development of an egg.
π₯ Ovulation β a mature egg is released from the o***y.
πΈ Luteal Phase β the body prepares for a possible pregnancy before the next cycle begins.
Every womanβs cycle is different, and ovulation does not always happen on Day 14. Tracking your cycle can help you understand what is normal for your body and notice changes such as irregular periods, unusual bleeding or significant changes in cycle length.
