What do I need to know about my period? 

Whether you’ve never had a period before, or you just need a little refresher on what menstruation is, it’s always a good idea to brush up on the facts of our menstrual cycles, and why we have periods at all!

Your menstrual cycle helps your body to prepare for pregnancy.

Throughout the month, your body goes through a series of changes, including fluctuations in your hormone levels and a build-up of the lining in your uterus. But if you don’t get pregnant, your uterus will shed that lining, which leaves your body through your vagina — in other words, that’s the reason for your period starting.

Your period can last anywhere from two to seven days.

When you first get your period, its length may vary from month to month, but it usually settles into a regular pattern by the time you’re in your late teens or early twenties.

The signs your period is coming for the first time are mostly the same as the ones you’ll experie
