Natural family planning depends on a couple`s ability to recognise the phases of a woman`s menstrual cycle and to calculate when ovulation is most likely to occur. In this way, they can avoid an unwanted pregnancy.

5 weeks pregnant symptoms
Your dreams and hopes were shattered when your doctor conscience you that you have a miscarriage. It’s difficult to arrive to terms through your pregnancy loss. You are perhaps feeling guilty and are blaming yourself for the pregnancy loss. One of my friends who had a miscarriage told me that she didn’t get over her pregnancy loss until she was pregnant again.

Amenorrhea is a condition in a woman during her reproductive age when menstruation becomes totally absent. Amenorrhea has two different stages; the first being primary and second is secondary. The primary stage of amenorrhea is common in an adolescent girl of 14 to 16 years old where menstrual bleeding and other normal sexual development get stranded. This is during the stage of puberty even before the girl has started her periodic cycle. The secondary one is when a lady who has been menstruating all though suddenly stops menstruating. This condition happens in absence of the various reasons responsible for the same like pregnancy, intake of contraceptive pills, lactation or menopause.

Sex hormones include, but are not limited to estrogen, testosterone, progestrone and DHEA.
Estrogen, not one hormone, but a group of similar hormones of varying degrees of activity, is secreted by the ovaries throughout a woman’s reproductive years.
Estrogen is the female hormone that is responsible for ovulation. Estrogen plays an important role in a woman’s life from the time she begins puberty until the final menstrual period.

Women are at their smartest self when they are ovulating, according to a study.
The study, led by Belinda Pletzer at the University of Salzburg, Austria, claimed that the size of a woman’s brain changes throughout her menstrual cycle, with some areas growing by as much as 2 per cent in the run-up to ovulation— when women are at their most fertile.

While some girls are just late bloomers–especially those whose mother or father started puberty late–most girls with late-onset of periods, known as delayed menarche (pronounced MEN-ar-kee), will have a medical cause for their late start. A combination of the girl’s medical history, a physical examination, her response to the progestin challenge test, and the results of some blood tests usually uncover the problem within a few weeks.

It may surprise you to know that men don’t have a monopoly on testosterone. Testosterone belongs to a class of male hormones called androgens. But women also have testosterone.
The ovaries produce both testosterone and estrogen. Relatively small quantities of testosterone are released into your bloodstream by the ovaries and adrenal glands. In addition to being produced by the ovaries, estrogen is also produced by fat tissue in the body.

Today I will spend time talking about female hormones imbalances and how that can be one of the many causes of infertility or irregular periods in women. During the menstrual cycle there are four hormones that are essential for the ovulation to take place.

This week, when I’ve mentioned the word ‘menstruation’, people have subconsciously winced. A tiny flicker of discomfort appears in their eyes. This isn’t feminism gone mad, I’m not going to smear my menstrual blood onto my mouth and take a photo whilst encouraging my friends to do the same (check out Ingrid Berthon-Moine if you’re into that). Yet, why shouldn’t I? Why are periods so revolting?
