When a young woman reaches the stage in life when she has a period, she able to become pregnant and have children. A period occurs when the ovaries release an egg from her body. There are many eggs, and one (sometimes more than one) will be released about 14 days after her period each month until around her mid to late 40's or early 50's. A female is born with all the eggs she will ever have; her eggs do not reproduce. Once a month, if this egg that is released is not fertilized by a males sperm, her uterus (or the womb that houses a developing baby) will shed it's lining and prepare itself for the release of next months egg. The reason you experience "blood" during your period is because the uterus must shed that lining to keep things ready incase you become pregnant. It will take about 3-7 days (maybe more, maybe less; it is different for every woman) to fully shed it's lining. During this time you will need to wear a feminine pad or a tampon to absorb the blood that is lost during menstruation.

Menarche (first period) is part of going through puberty. Menstruation only occurs when a person starts to ovulate, as menstruation occurs if an egg isn't fertilised.
