Most girls experience their first period around the age of 12, which is triggered by hormonal changes in the body. Each menstrual cycle involves the development and release of an egg from the ovaries, while the uterine lining thickens to prepare for a potential pregnancy. If pregnancy doesn’t occur, the uterine lining sheds, resulting in a menstrual period, and the cycle begins again.
The Four Phases of the Menstrual Cycle:
- Menstrual Phase: Period begins, and estrogen and progesterone levels drop
- Follicular Phase: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) prompts the ovaries to produce 5 to 20 immature eggs
- Ovulation Phase: A mature egg is released, and estrogen levels peak
- Luteal Phase: Progesterone increases. PMS symptoms may occur during this period.
