Often after the delivery of a newborn you will be having some bleeding which is called Lochia or postpartum bleeding. This is not considered a period as this is when your uterus is trying to shrink back to a normal size and shedding off the endometrium lining.
As a member of the female sex I experience my period on a monthly basis. You see, the first time I got my period I had no idea what was going on. I walked in to take a bath, took off my underwear and I was like “What is this?”
With the advanced technology and knowledge we have, one can only assume to have all the answers. Probably not all of them but we know this for sure – we can make the period shorter. We’ve all been there, on the beach in shorts, on a exotic vacation getaway maybe but with period.
We know that the color in every menstrual period is changing. From bright red, and spottings to cherry red, dark red even brown or black. This article is about the colors, why are they like that, and what that means.
Imagine this, it’s cold and you’re having hot flashes, the inconvenient feeling like the lower back is being torn from the abdomen. Menstrual cramps, we’ve all been there. Just before the period starts and few days during. This condition has a name, dysmenorrhea, and is treatable.
Every female faces the common monthly issue of dealing with (several-day) periods. In this day and age, luckily, women have many opportunities to choose from when it comes to sanitary solutions of course, so the choice can be quite extensive.
There’s nothing worse than having to run errands on a day your body decides to ferociously bleed – but sometimes life happens and you have to roll with the punches.
The human body…what a fascinating thing it is. We are born with it and we stay with it for the rest of our lives. We look at it every day and we never get bored of it, nor have a choice, right?
When God was inventing the World, he made women have monthly periods and give birth. Why? Because he knew that guys weren’t strong enough to handle it. But why period pain? Why can’t Mother Nature just text me and be like “What’s up, girl?! You are not pregnant. Have a great week. I’ll see you next month!”
The earliest known pregnancy test dates back to 1350 BC in Ancient Egypt. According to the Egyptians, all you have to do is urinate on wheat and barley seeds…and wait for the results. It either sprouts, congratulations, you are pregnant!
If wheat spreads faster, it’s a girl, but if barley, then it’s a boy. In 1963, a small study reproduced this test and found that it had predicted pregnancy with a respectable 70% accuracy. However, it couldn’t reliably tell the sex of the baby.
