One thing about us sis, our bodies go through so many precious changes! One of those changes is the menstrual cycle phase. It’s honestly beautiful when you think about it - our uterus naturally shedding blood as a form of cleansing. Your period 🩸is your body’s way of saying, “I’m releasing what no longer serves me.”
For my younger ladies who may still be learning, every month your body prepares itself for pregnancy, how amazing is that? 💕 This phase is called the luteal phase, which begins the day after you ovulate and lasts until right before your next period starts.
If pregnancy happens, the lining of your uterus thickens to nurture the fertilized egg. But when it doesn’t, the body begins to shed that lining and that becomes your period. This beautiful process repeats itself every month, giving your body a fresh start.
What Happens During Your Period
Many women experience certain symptoms during their menstrual bleeding, such as:
- Abdominal cramping
- Bloating
- Tender or sore breasts
- Food cravings
- Mood swings or irritability
- Headaches
- Fatigue
As a Vaginal Steam Practitioner, I’ve learned that what we often call “common symptoms” aren’t always normal. Some fatigue is expected - after all, your body is working hard but we shouldn’t be suffering through intense pain or discomfort each month.
When Your Cycle Becomes Irregular
Some women experience extremely heavy bleeding, passing out, vomiting or severe cramps that stop them in their tracks. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone - I’ve been there too, and it was the worst.
These symptoms can sometimes be signs of an irregular menstrual cycle, which might be linked to deeper imbalances like endometriosis, PCOS or hormonal issues. And while it’s always good to check with a healthcare provider, it’s equally important to understand your body and support it naturally.
