Menstruation

The menstrual cycle is a monthly process in women's bodies in which the uterus prepares for a potential pregnancy. It involves the monthly shedding of the uterine lining (menstruation), followed by the development and release of an egg from the ovaries (ovulation). If fertilization does not occur, the cycle repeats approximately every 28 days.

The egg(s) is released from the ovaries. It then goes to the fallopian tubes. Here, it can be fertilized by a sperm cell or remain unfertilized. Either way, it travels through the fallopina tubes and into the uterus. If it is fertilized, the egg will implant on the lining of the wall of the uterus and begin to grow. If not, the lining will shed. This, along with the egg, will travel out of the body through the cervix and vagina in the period.

no it would just taste bad...and be similar to drinking bread!

Yes, you should always continue to take your birth control unless your physician tells you to stop. Stopping your birth control and having unprotected sex will make you become pregnant. If you are experiencing any bleeding before the expected date or time of your period, you are most likely experiencing spotting or breakthrough bleeding. This is bleeding that is not considered a period, it is however a side effect from birth control that can last up to 3 months when you first begin birth control.

Depending on how busy the hospital is and on priority of the blood sample, testing for prolactin levels in the blood can take anywhere from 2-5 days. Additionally, it could take longer if the test was done in conjunction with other blood tests, especially a CBC (complete blood count).

It is possible to bleed through your pants when you start your period, especially if you are caught off guard or have a heavy flow. It is a good idea to wear a pad or tampon to help prevent leakage, and to carry extra supplies with you for emergencies.

The position and feel of the cervix can change throughout the menstrual cycle. Generally, two days before your period, the cervix is typically lower in the vagina, firmer, and the opening (os) may be slightly open in women who have had children and closed in those who have not. Here's a brief overview of the typical cervical changes throughout the menstrual cycle:

1. Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5): The cervix is low, firm, and the os is slightly open to allow menstrual blood to pass.

2. Follicular Phase (Days 6-14): After menstruation, the cervix starts to rise, becomes softer, and the os gradually opens as ovulation approaches.

3. Ovulation (Around Day 14): The cervix is high, soft, and the os is open to facilitate the passage of sperm.

4. Luteal Phase (Days 15-28): After ovulation, the cervix lowers and becomes firmer. The os starts to close if fertilization has not occurred.

So, about two days before your period (typically part of the luteal phase), you can expect your cervix to be low and firm, and the os to be more closed if there is no pregnancy. However, it’s important to note that cervical positions can vary from person to person, and not everyone will experience the exact same changes.

Testing for double stranded DNA antibodies is useful in diagnosing systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a autoimmune disease. Presence of these antibodies in the blood can indicate an increased risk for lupus nephritis or other organ involvement in patients with SLE. Testing for these antibodies can help in monitoring disease activity and guiding treatment decisions.

Ecstasy can disrupt menstrual cycles by impacting hormone levels and affecting the reproductive system. It may cause irregularities in menstrual timing, including missed periods or heavier/ lighter flows. Prolonged use can have more severe impacts on fertility and overall reproductive health.

your period acutally helps you loose weight well it does for me but for some certain people they gain weight and i think that's cause you eat too much then i bailey eat... i eat lunch and dinner sometimes i don't eat breackfeast but i try too!!

I found that biological washing powder at a high temperature works best at removing menstrual blood. Sometimes a couple of washes is needed before all the stains are removed.

If the blood is fresh, it helps to make a thick paste using a spoonful of bio washing powder and a little water and rubbing it into the stain and then leaving it for an hour before the wash. I don't suggest doing this with delicate items of clothing.

Whiteners and stain removers are another possibility, but always be careful to read the instructions if it is a delicate item of clothing.

Yes, methamphetamine use can affect your menstrual cycle by causing irregularities, such as missed periods, changes in flow, or delayed ovulation. Chronic meth use can disrupt hormonal balance and lead to long-term reproductive health issues. It is important to seek medical help if you are experiencing menstrual irregularities due to drug use.

No, consuming flour and water will not stop your menstrual period. Menstruation is a natural process controlled by hormonal changes in your body and cannot be stopped by consuming specific foods or drinks. If you have concerns about your menstrual cycle, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider.

You can drink white vinegar to get food poisoning and have to call poison control. So even if it does stop your period flow, though i doubt it does, I don't think it would be a very good idea hun

Gametes carry half the number of normal chromosomes as a body cell. Since there are normally 46, this means there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete.

The absolute refractory period is caused by the inactivation of voltage-gated sodium channels that were opened during the preceding action potential. During this period, the neuron is unable to generate another action potential because these sodium channels are closed and unable to respond to further depolarization. This prevents the neuron from firing multiple action potentials too close together and ensures proper signaling.

1. Evaporation: Heat from the sun causes water to change from liquid to vapor and rise into the atmosphere.
2. Condensation: Water vapor cools and condenses into clouds in the atmosphere.
3. Precipitation: Water droplets in the clouds combine and fall to the ground as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
4. Collection: Water runs off the surface into rivers, lakes, or oceans, where it can evaporate and start the cycle again.

No, queefing specifically refers to the release of air from the vagina. It is not possible for men to queef through their penis because they do not have the same anatomy as females do.

Drinking vinegar in moderate amounts is generally safe and should not affect your menstrual cycle. However, consuming large amounts of vinegar or using it as a weight-loss remedy can disrupt your body's pH levels and potentially impact your menstrual cycle. It's important to consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Friction affects us by creating resistance when we try to move objects against a surface. For example, it allows us to walk without slipping on the ground. However, excessive friction can also cause wear and tear on our joints and muscles, leading to injuries.

It's normal for menstrual cycles to vary in length. The average cycle is between 21 to 35 days. However, if your cycle length suddenly changes significantly or if you experience irregular periods, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying causes.

Sound like a infection. You have to see your doctor.

If your discharge is also white or greyish in color, chances are it is an infection. Go and have a check with your doctor to see it is not something serious.

No, although you can release multiple eggs you will only ovulate within one 24 hour period within your menstrual cycle. If TTC you should consider using fertility awareness method to determine exactly when you're fertile and when you ovulate, even when not TTC fertility awareness method is very useful for learning more about your body and it can be used as an effective birth control method.
