Question: plz be kind


Answers: plz be kind

Your period (menstrual cycle) occurs when an unfertilized egg, after being released from an ovary and traveling down the fallopian tube, reaches the uterus. The body recognizes that the egg is unfertilized and expells it along with the uterine lining (blood and mucus) that has built up over the course of the cycle. The body stores this blood and mucus in case the egg is fertilized. If the egg IS fertilized it will lodge itself in the soft uterine lining where the fetus will begin to develop. This is why you stop having your period when you're pregnant.

either ask ur mom or u can e-mail me and i'll kindly tell u all about it!

Periods are when a women bleeds for 3-7 days.
It happens because an egg come down and waits to be fertilized and when it doesn't get fertilized the uterus sheds blood and tissue, resulting in the bleeding for 3-7 days.

I hope this helps! But if you need anything else I'd ask a trusted women about any concerns you might have.

Getting your "period" is when you bleed from your vaginal entrance.
The lining of your uterus is being shaved down, preparing your body for pregnancy.
Sometimes "blood clots" also known as uterus lining, will come out while being on your period. It's perfectly normal.
Your period comes once a month, from anywhere between 3 days to 10 days.
Periods can be "light" or "heavy" meaning you could have a large amount of blood, or a small amount.
To take care of this "blood" you use a pad or a tampon
For the first 3 years or so your period will be irregular which means it wont come on a schedule
You should track when your period starts and ends because over the months/years you will notice a pattern as to when it occurs.
Once you have your period, you can get pregnant.
Even before your period you can get pregnant but it is less likely.
When you get your period you should tell your mom, that's what they're there for.

Its complcated talk to like your mam or older sister or someone(i asked my mam about it ). if you feel it is to emarsing google it or something. and if you havent started then if you talk to your mam she might give you an idea when you will start .
how old are you ??:-)
gud luk

ASK YOUR MOM. How old are you? You don't need to be getting answers to this question from complete strangers. If you are like 10 or 11, you should know about this already. I swear, mom's don't tell their daughters ANYTHING these days.
