Your Menstral Circle

Your menstral circle is the time between the first day of one period and tge first day of the next period. This could take an average time of 28days, but if its 21 and 35 days they are very normal. Then the circle starts again.

Let's Explain some of the processes

As a growing girl its essential you know these terms;-

Menstruation
This could be seen as the process where by the endometruim leaves the body through the vagina as a reddish fluid containing blood, it is called menses. This is your Period.

Premenstrual

This is when the egg isn't fertilized, it preaks down and the endometruim isn't needed, as a result hormone levels drop, causing the endometruim to shed. This could be attributed to symptoms known as PMS.

Your Time is always right.

Relax Sweetheart there is no right time for a period to start. You are most likely to get your first period between the ages of 10 and 16, but every girl is different. Your period will start when your body is ready. So, if you haven't started by the time you are 16, its a good idea to see your doctor, remain calm and don't fright.
