"Period" is a term for menstruation ... the biological cleaning out of the endometium (inner lining) of the uterus - done to prepare the uterus to receive the fertilized egg.
The fertilized egg "implants" (sticks to) the wall of the uterus and develops into a fetus (complete with placenta) which will eventually be born as a child.
