The Menstrual Cycle: A Monthly Symphony

  1. Each cycle prepares the body for a potential pregnancy.
  2. It includes four phases: menstrual, follicular, ovulation, and luteal.
  3. Estrogen rises to thicken the uterine lining early in the cycle.
  4. Mid-cycle ovulation releases a mature egg.
  5. Progesterone stabilizes the lining for possible implantation.
  6. If no fertilization occurs, hormone levels drop β€” triggering menstruation.
  7. The average cycle lasts 28 days but varies naturally.
  8. Tracking cycles helps understand fertility and health patterns.
  9. Every period is the body’s built-in rhythm of renewal.
  10. This monthly process is nature’s elegant reproductive rehearsal.
