How is my menstrual cycle different from my period?

CycleBeads - Frequently Asked Questions
A woman's menstrual cycle is not the same thing as her period. A period is just the days when a woman is actually having menstrual bleeding. Her cycle is the whole time from the beginning of one period until the beginning of the next period. A woman's menstrual cycle begins the first day of her period. It ends just before she starts her next period. So the first day of her period is Day 1 of her cycle.

What controls the natural menstrual cycle?

NoPeriod.com - FAQ
Only women capable of a menstrual cycle can get pregnant naturally. The body makes chemicals and proteins called neurotransmitters and hormones which create the menstrual cycle. The neurotransmitters from the brain tell the pituitary, an organ found in the brain, to make and release protein signals that go to the ovary where an egg is developed. Estrogen is made by the ovary to help the egg develop and after the egg is released (ovulation) progesterone is made by the ovary.

Menstrual Cycle FAQ
The follicular phase begins with the first day of menses (menstrual flow) and continues to approximately day 13 or 14 when ovulation takes place. During the follicular phase, FSH and LH are slowly rising in preparation for the LH surge (very high level of LH) at the time of ovulation. FSH is stimulating the growth of follicles in the ovary. Estrogen and progesterone are relatively low throughout this time but slowly begin to rise toward the end of this phase.

WHAT IS A NORMAL MENSTRUAL CYCLE?

Is it true that intercourse during the menstrual cycle increases the risk of endometriosis?

Endometriosis FAQ
This has not been proved. It has been suggested that intercourse during menses might increase tubal activity and increase the backflow of the menstrual cycle through the tubes and thus increase the risk of endometriosis. However, there are no statistics to bear this out. A biopsy of the lesion does document the presence of endometrial tissue. I believe that the gross appearance of endometriosis and visual inspection of the pelvis is adequate and accurate for diagnosis of endometriosis.

What happens during the menstrual cycle?

HomesteadSchools.com - Women's Health
In the first half of the menstrual cycle, levels of estrogen rise and make the lining of the uterus grow and thicken. In response to follicle-stimulating hormone, an egg (ovum) in one of the ovaries starts to mature. At about day 14 of a typical 28-day cycle, in response to a surge of luteinizing hormone, the egg leaves the ovary. This is called ovulation. In the second half of the menstrual cycle, the egg begins to travel through the fallopian tube to the uterus.
