Katy and I are talking periods and their link to our health and fertility.

We explain that a period is the bleeding phase of the menstrual cycle, which marks the start of a new cycle and that a true menstrual period follows ovulation.


We also discuss the importance of a good period, (yes the do exist) which should last 3-6 days, have a moderate flow, bright red color, minimal pain, and no excessive spotting.

Takeaways

  • A period is the bleeding phase of the menstrual cycle, marking the start of a new cycle.
  • A true menstrual period follows ovulation and shedding of the uterine lining.
  • A good period should last 3-6 days, have a moderate flow, bright red color, minimal pain, and no excessive spotting.
  • Heavy periods, light periods, painful periods, premenstrual symptoms, and irregular cycles can indicate underlying issues that may impact fertility.
  • Understanding and tracking your menstrual cycle can provide valuable information about your health and fertility.
