It is the whole cycle invloving when you get your period, a womans body preparing itself for a baby etc and usually starts from the age of 11-13 years old.\n\nThis is when your body (female) has prepared itself for sperm to arrive (to make babies) and then when no sperm arrives, the sexual organs disguards this matter, which is made up of blood, mucus, tissue and fluids (your period).\n\nThis process is usually 28 days and is called a menstural cycle.\n\nIf you goole "period", "menstural cycle", "womans bodies", "ovulating" etc and it will give you a very good idea as to what is happening to a womans body.

The Healthy Zone\n\nA regular menstrual cycle means different things to different women. Age, for example can affect what's described as a normal pattern. When adolescents first get their periods, they can expect irregular cycles for a year or two as sex hormones stabilize. The menstrual cycle becomes erratic again around the perimenopause. During this time, just before menopause, ovarian hormone levels begin to fluctuate. Woman again experience irregular cycles.\n\nYet between adolescence and perimenopause, women can expect to have regular monthly cycles. That is, of course, barring pregnancy, illness, medications, stress, and other problems (such as cysts) that may change the pattern.\n\nIt's also not uncommon to have a variation in one month.\n\nMenstruation that occurs between 22 and 40 days apart falls within the norm, says Robert Shenken, MD, president of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. The first day of the menstrual cycle is counted from the first day of vaginal bleeding.\n\nThe pattern, however, should not vary tremendously. "If a woman was having a 40-day cycle, and all of a sudden, she's having a 22-day cycle, that would be a concern," says Shenken. "The cycle links should be within plus or minus five days."\n\nA significant change could be sign of a problem. Many experts interviewed by WebMD, say it's best to observe your periods over a three-month before becoming overly worried.\n\nMenstrual bleeding time or an actual period, is usually two to eight days long, and anything outside of that is a cause of concern, says Shenken.\n\nThe best way to figure out if something is wrong is to visit a doctor, who can evaluate your symptoms.\nPinpointing Menstrual Trouble\n\nWant to find out if something is wrong with your cycle? Do the work yourself. This does not mean diagnosing yourself, but keeping a menstrual diary helps.\n\n"The hardest time to try to figure something out is when someone comes in and hasn't really tracked anything -- they know something's abnormal but they don't know how abnormal or when," says Roger Lobo, MD, a member of the Endocrine Society, and a professor and chair of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Columbia University in New York. "The more detailed the information [you record], the better."\n\nSome helpful things to note:\n\n    * How many days is it from the first day of one period to another?\n    * How long do your periods last?\n    * How heavy/light is the bleeding? What are the heaviest days in your cycle?\n    * Do you have spotting in between periods? If so, when? After sex?\n    * Do you have pain? Describe it. Where is it coming from? When does it occur?\n    * What are your other symptoms? Do you experience headaches, backaches, gastrointestinal problems, fatigue, or fainting spells? Do you have any unusual discharge?\n    * Are you taking any medications?\n\nWhen consulting a doctor for a menstrual problem, it's important to report your medical history (if it's not already known), and family history of disease. Make sure to tell the physician what else is going on in your life. Sometimes emotional distress, diet, or exercise can affect the menstrual cycle.\n\nKeeping track of your periods not only assists physicians, it can also help you determine what's normal and abnormal for your body. It could give you a clue if you're pregnant, when it's best to be more vigilant about contraception, when you're ovulating, or if you could be experiencing perimenopause.\n\n"Nobody knows one's body more than the patient herself," says Mark, stressing the importance of being an educated consumer. "If it's a concern to you and you take the time to visit your physician, then that really needs to be looked at."\n\nThe relationship between patient and doctor should be a partnership, adds Mark. If your doctor isn't meeting your needs, it may be time to fi

Unfortunately, periods fluctuate depending on horomone levels. You haven't said how old you are, but it is common in younger girls, like teenagers. Mine will even start heavy, get non-existent, and then go regular until I am done. It is normal.

Get used to it. The menstrual cycle cleanses the uterus for child bearing. If the lining does not shed-a thick wall of skin builds up. Thus-it will be difficult to conceive children and could lead to infection.

As people have said before, stress but what hasn't been mentioned is that weight loss can do the same. I recently lost quite a bit of weight and until I gained it back my period came every other month. If this continues on to your next period its a good sign that you have lost too much weight and is your body's way of saying you have to gain it back. Whether stress, weight loss, or something else, good luck!

Your cycle is calculated by counting from the first day of one period to the first day of your next period. It is usually 23 to 28 days between but varies for different women.

It is your bodies way of expelling the endometrial lining in your uterus (aka period).

It's natural. She's ovulating or it's before her period. I get it all the time. It's annoying, but my husband loves it. :-)

Normal - no, possible - yes.\nThe reason I say it is not normal is because anytime we allow stress to find a way to start making us physically ill or starts to make our body work differently than normal, that is "not normal."\nAnything to freak out about, probably not.  If you KNOW you are not pregnant, I would suggest trying to find a way to work your stress out and see if your cycle gets back on track.\nIf it is stress, realize that you may not start on the next day "you are expected to," and it may just show up - once that happens, that will be your body telling you that you are somehow learning how to manage differently and hopefully your cycle will get back on a regular cycle.\nHope this helps, good luck.

You can spot inbtween cycles, especially if you are on birth control, and you can have slight bleeding when you have "stopped" your period.  Be safe and go to your gyno to make sure you don't have any other problems.

Menstruation is a woman's monthly bleeding. It is also called menses, menstrual period, or period. When a woman has her period, she is menstruating. The menstrual blood is partly blood and partly tissue from the inside of the uterus (womb). It flows from the uterus through the small opening in the cervix, and passes out of the body through the vagina. Most menstrual periods last from three to five days.

Well, it's like this:\n\nThere are four phases of a woman's menstrual cycle:\n-menstrual phase\n-proliferative phase \n-ovulatory phase\n-secretory phase\n\nDuring the proliferative phase, which occurs between the end of a woman's menstrual period and ovulation, the uterine endometrium undergoes a process of growth as a result of the stimulation of ESTROGEN.  (key word, estrogen)\n\nDuring the ovulatory phase, the Graafian follicle in the ovary ruptures and releases the ovum around 14 days after the start of menstruation.  The concentration of ESTROGEN is very high in the blood and it stimulates ovulation.  The blood vessels of the endometrial lining ENLARGE and GROW and some secretory cells are formed.\n\nIn the secretory phase, b/w ovulation and onset of menstruation, the endometrium is under the influence of both progesterone and ESTROGEN, increases in size and becomes thick, the endometrial glands become enlarged, and the blood vessels become coiled and enlarged.  (this all caused by levels of hormones)\n\nIf, during this phase, the ovum becomes fertilized and implants itself in the lining of the uterus, the CORPUS LUTEUM (a yellow, progesterone-producing mass of cells that form from the egg after ovulation) somewhat "senses" fertilization and remains to secrete progesterone which helps the embryo grow within in the uterus.  If the ovum is not fertilized, the corpus luteum disintegrates and the progesterone level falls sharply.  Fourteen days later, the endometrial lining, all those enlarged blood vessels, cell debris are discharged.  (menses) \n\nBasically that corpus luteum is kind of like a "radar detector" for changing hormone levels and sperm.  When that radar goes off after sensing sperm, the uterus essentially "slams on the brakes" and stops.  (Much like we tend to do when we see that state trooper hiding behind those bushes on the highway)  Growth of an embryo begins.  \nIf we don't hear a beep, we just keep on driving.  And the cycle continues.\n\nIt all seems so intriguing, the way the whole process works, that one can't help but marvel at how mysteriously the Lord did His work in creating us.  No man could ever have devised His plan for our cycle of life.  It's amazing to even think about.  \n\nHope this helps.
