Why does a menstrual period happen only once per month?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The menstrual cycle is the monthly series of changes a woman's body goes through in preparation for the possibility of pregnancy. Each month, one of the ovaries releases an egg - a process called ovulation. At the same time, hormonal changes prepare the uterus for pregnancy. If ovulation takes place and the egg isn't fertilized, the lining of the uterus sheds through the vagina. This is a menstrual period.

Ive had two abortions in the past and recently had a miscarriage in the fifth week of pregnancy. Im really worried because my rubella igg, cmv igg, and herpes igg levels aren't normal, although rubella igm, herpes igm, and cmv igm are fine. Can you explain what the difference is between igg and igm, and does having abnormal igg values mean I might never be able to get pregnant again?
IgG and IgM are types of antibodies produced by the immune system in response to infections. IgM is the first antibody produced when you are exposed to an infection, while IgG is produced later and usually indicates a past infection or immunity. Abnormal IgG levels for rubella, CMV, and herpes suggest a previous exposure or infection. This does not necessarily mean you will never become pregnant, but it may indicate a risk of complications during pregnancy. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
