Why does a menstrual period happen only once per month?

Doctor 1

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.

I'm just wondering if it's okay for my wife to travel by train since she's in her 9th week of the 1st trimester. Is it safe for her at this early stage of pregnancy to go on a trip like that?

I'm kind of anxious about something and could really use some advice. So, I had protected sex using a condom just a couple of days before my period started on the 29th, and then I got my period on the 31st. Do you think there's any chance I could be pregnant? I'm also thinking about whether I should take an emergency contraceptive pill like an ipill, but I'm worried it might mess up my period. Is it a good idea to take it, or should I just not worry about this?
