While on your period, there are some things you should never do and some things you never thought you could do.
The most recent studies and information regarding women and their menstrual cycles are released every week.
We continue to learn new things about our bodies and the mysteries of our periods, so the only thing that is constant is that.
Several intriguing facts about menstruation for women have come to light in recent studies. First of all, it is completely normal for us to feel romantic while we are bleeding. This is because when we are bleeding, progesterone—the hormone that suppresses libido—is at its lowest level ever.
When we are on our period, we also find it more difficult to focus while taking a test. What a surprise, huh?
In America, a woman has her period 450 times on average during her lifetime. This is a vast improvement over the 50 periods that our prehistoric ancestors went through or the roughly 150 periods that contemporary women in agricultural countries outside of the United States have gone through.
