Our bodies are so incredibly beautiful and fascinating! It's important to take a step back and marvel at what your body is doing each and every month. At the start of the menstrual cycle, which begins with the first day of your menstrual flow, the lining of the uterus sheds during what we call our “period week.” Then, the uterine lining is rebuilt in the follicular phase and an egg is prepared for ovulation. During ovulation, one of your ovaries releases an egg and your body changes hormonally to prepare for a potential pregnancy. Next up, the luteal phase. If the egg is fertilized, it attaches itself to the lining of the uterus and begins to grow into a tiny living human. If the egg isn’t fertilized, your hormone levels decrease and the cycle starts all over again, returning to the menstrual phase.
