  • This video goes through the hormonal and physiological changes that occur during the menstrual cycle.
    CORRECTION FSH does not start the development of the follicles. The follicles are constantly developing from primordial follicles to primary follicles to secondary follicles. FSH stimulates further development of a number of these into mature follicles at the start of the menstrual cycle (rather than initiating the development as the video suggests).

      @@ZeroToFinals Hi
      I decided to revisit this video for a refresher and I have a question which I didn't before lol.
      So you mentioned the HCG produced by the foetus is what keeps the corpus luteum alive (which i get why - cos of the progesterone to maintain the lining etc etc). But once the placenta is able to produce the progesterone does the corpus luteum still need to be alive? As in later on in the pregnancy the foetus is still producing HCG which means the corpus luteum is still maintained (although there's no need since the placenta is already producing the progesterone by this point). So is the corpus luteum kept alive throughout the pregnancy then?
      I hope my question makes sense. :/

My work focuses on the energetic, emotional, intuitive, and and physical effects of the menstrual cycle and how we can best treat our bodies holistically to have pain-free and PMS-free cramps. This video is a wonderful biological explanation of what our bodies are up to. Will be sending the more scientifically-biased clients to this video. Thank you!

      Pain is necessary and we must thank our bodies for it, because pain let us know what’s happening in our bodies. The amount of pain is what the focus should be. Pain could also keep us alive, no feeling pain might kill us faster. People are always asking for pain killers; instead of asking why I feel this way? What can I do to improve the pain? What’s my diet,? Who is there to support while I struggle with my life decisions and responsibilities in life.
