The onset of menstruation indicates that a woman is ready to bear children. Menstruation is a biological routine most women experience regularly; yet it is a mystery, and in some societies, the subject is taboo. This article is intended to clear up this mystery.
Menstruating women might have periods (cycles) of differing durations in the course of a lifetime.
Your menstrual cycle can be divided into 4 menstrual phases or stages:
(i)The menstrual phase — Day one – five The menstruation flow is normal for the first three – five days. In some cases, this phase can range from two to 7 days. The bleeding in this phase is not just all menstruation blood; some of its is uterus lining the body does not need, and discards.
(ii)The follicular phase — Day six – fourteen
During this period, cells grow inside little cavities (follicles) and eventually become eggs. It’s one of these eggs and a male’s sperm that combine to make a baby.
Why don’t we go on with this piece of writing. Menstruation hormones (Follicle Stimulating Hormone – FSH and Luteinizing Hormone – LH) are released into the bloodstream. The ovaries are where a woman produces eggs. The purpose of the first hormone (FSH) is to stimulate the ovaries to produce eggs. And the purpose of the second (LH) is to signal the ovaries to release an egg.

(iii)The ovulation phase — Midpoint (Day 14) During this phase, which is about the 14th day of your menstrual cycle, there is a sudden increase in the level of the second hormone (LH). This is the cue for the sac (follicle) containing the most mature egg to release it, for its journey down the fallopian tube. It’s during this phase that a woman is most likely to become pregnant.
(iv)The luteal phase — Day fifteen – twenty-seven Around twenty eggs develop and the most mature egg gets released. While the eggs are developing, the sacs produce estrogen. And just before the most mature egg gets released, progesterone is also secreted in addition to estrogen.
Estrogen increases the flow of blood to the uterus during the menstrual cycle period, and helps thicken its lining. Progesterone helps produce substances that will nourish a fertilized egg implanted in the lining.
If fertilization takes place, the ruptured sac, after the egg has broken through (Corpus luteum), continues to produce progesterone, aimed at nourishing the growth of the embryo. Progesterone blocks the release of further eggs, till the pregnancy is terminated.
Estrogen, while regulating progesterone, begins a major process of fetal maturation. Without estrogen, the lungs, liver and other organs and tissues can’t mature.
If fertilization doesn’t take place, estrogen and progesterone levels drop. Without these hormones, the lining of the uterus breaks up and is released through the vagina, to mark the onset of the menstrual cycle period.
Once the uterine lining is shed, your menstrual cycle begins anew.

Christians, can you admit there is no reason, outside of religion? … That gay marriage is wrong? How then can you oppose such a thing? We don't live in a theocratic society. Seperation of church and state. So, if you take religion out of the equation, there is no logical reason. Right?
What is benign leukopenia? I’ve been seeing a hematologist for almost two months now for a low WBC count. My counts were 2.6, 2.9, and 3.0. My lymphocytes were high and my neutrophils were low. The doctor concluded that I’ve benign leukopenia, but I can’t seem to find ANY information online about this. He said there is no cure or medicine or anything to make it better, it was just the way I was born. I want to know what it’s, and what it means “benign”. Thanks in advance!

It’s just as your doctor described. Not a disease – you just carry a little fewer wbc's than the average person. You should remember that by definition, a laboratory “normal” value for ANYTHING (cholesterol, wbc count, or anything else) is just the value that encompasses 95% of the general population. So by definition, 5% of all normal, healthy individuals will have lab values that lie outside this range. If your doctor has excluded active disease processes (like HIV, leukemia, medication side effect, cirrhosis, active viral infecion), then you appear to be one of these healthy people who just have a very slightly low wbc count. This is ESPECIALLY common in American blacks. It really means nothing, and you should be reassured that you're normal. If you’re African-American, then this is really not surprising at all.

Non cancerous small white blood cells i believe. My son had small red blood cells and he has seen a hematologist since he was born. His is a rare form of anemia but hasn't affected him at all. : )
Oh yes, of course I need to have faith that the laws of science remain stable. You could say that it’s an act of faith that I assume that gravity will continue to hold me down every day but you would go mad second guessing everything. If you have to put your faith in something I prefer to go with tried and tested scientific theories than supernatural ones. There are some very good clips on youtube which explain how life began if you’re interested. Natural selection is obvious and it’s the way evolution happens – we see it with diseases all the time – they mutate and evolve to survive. Those of our ape like forbears who had bigger brains were able to build strong shelters and tools and those with strong bodies were able to hunt and defend – of course this is attractive to a mate and when you have the children of 2 strong, intelligent adults??? You get stronger more intelligent children. You may have seen that people are getting taller and fatter in our lifetime? The height is an effect of easily obtainable nutrition and so is obesity. When food was scarce the people who survived were the ones who could store food as fat better – this is also why high sugar and high fat food tastes good. At these times being overweight was seen as attractive – you’ll see this in paintings from only a couple of hundred years ago. This was because well fed people were the survivors. Now that food is so easily obtainable those who store food well and overeat are the weakest – heart disease, diabetes. These people are seen as less attractive and are less likely to have mates. We see this in the whole size zero phenomenon – people know that slimmer is healthier in our environment and are instinctively attracted to the strongest. This is how evolution works.
Overview Pau d'arco, or the inner bark of the Tabebuia avellanedae tree, is native to Brazil, where it’s used traditionally to treat a wide range of conditions including pain, arthritis, inflammation of the prostate gland (prostatitis), fever, dysentery, boils and ulcers, and various cancers. Preliminary laboratory research examining the properties of pau d'arco is beginning to suggest that the traditional uses may have scientific merit. Such laboratory studies have shown that pau d'arco has pain killing, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-infectious, anti-psoriatic, and anti-cancer abilities. Taking this early data, combined with information collected about traditional uses, herbalists may recommend pau d'arco to treat or prevent a number of conditions, including candidiasis (a yeast infection of the vaginal or oral areas), herpes simplex virus, influenza, parasitic diseases such as schistosomiasis, bacterial infections such as brucellosis, and inflammation of the cervix (cervicitis) or the vagina (vaginitis). Pau d'arco may also reduce inflammation of the joints associated with arthritis. I dont under stand a word of that
It's quite simple. You do what you want and you know good from evil now make a choice. This all equates to free will.
Yea , yea, and I can never remember the difference between jealousy and envy, so I'm not sure if I'm jealous of your superior command of the English language, or envious. I guess I'll settle for just being annoyed.
