I wish you could talk about feminine hygine product alternatives such as menstrual cups on your show. They are much healthier than pads or tampons.

So Period means 5 to 7 days mensus 23 to 21 days no period. So , when does ovulation start....10 days before the mestruation???

[7sweetprincess]

can you explain spotting during 12 day of menstrual cycle

[shandifox]

Bleeding for 28 days isn't normal. Maybe she meant ovulating.

Isn't it the lack of progesterone and oestrogen that cause it to shed, rather than "progesterone causes it to shed". Progesterone prepares the uterus for implantation, hence the name progesterone.

Yeah this woman does not have her hormones straight

@harley139able It could be due to stress, even positive stress. I wouldn't worry too much unless it becomes more common. I've had a couple of those twice-a-month periods. No big deal, as they went away.

@kikyouthekillermiko Did you get cramps every one of those days, too? I would hate that.
