LET'S TALK ABOUT: THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE

Getting your period is known medically as menstruation. Women who have completed puberty will begin bleeding during their menstrual cycle once a month. This occurs as a result of the uterine lining's preparation for a potential pregnancy, which included growing thicker and more blood vessel-rich. This thicker lining is lost along with bleeding if pregnancy does not occur. Bleeding typically persists for 3 to 8 days.

The average menstrual cycle lasts 28-29 days, but this varies greatly between women and from cycle to cycle. The length of your menstrual cycle is determined by counting from the first day of your period to the last day your next period.

Between the ages of 11 and 14, girls experience their first period (monarchy). Other sexual characteristics such as p***c hair and budding breast have developed by this time.
