Day 5 - Hormones
Welcome to Day 5 and the end of Week 1! We are ending off our introductory week by looking closer at the hormones in the menstrual cycle. Hormones are like messengers that tell the body what to do during this cycle ( and everyday life ). They go up and down, signaling different actions.
First, there's estrogen. It gets things ready for a potential pregnancy. When it peaks, it triggers the release of an egg. Then comes progesterone, preparing the body for a possible baby. If there's no pregnancy, estrogen and progesterone levels drop, leading to menstruation.
These hormones work together, guiding the body through various phases. Understanding this helps us connect with our bodies better. Week 1 gave us a basic understanding, setting the stage for more insights in the coming weeks. Thank you so much for interacting with this week and please stay tuned because we have only just begun!
