The menstrual cycle is a cyclic process in females that‚ on average‚ occurs every 28 days. The purpose of the menstrual cycle is to help prepare the body for potential fertilization‚ implantation‚ and‚ consequently‚ pregnancy. The happenings of the menstrual cycle are consequences of the simultaneously occurring ovarian cycle and uterine cycle. The ovarian cycle occurs in the ovaries and carries out the follicular phase‚ which spans the first 14 days of a new menstrual cycle. The result is ovulation

4Action of hormones in the Menstrual Cycle The Ovarian Cycle The cycle begins with the release from the hypothalamus of gonadotrophin – releasing hormone (GnRH)‚ which stimulates the pituitary to secrete small amounts of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinising Hormone (LH). The FSH stimulates follicle growth‚ aided by LH and the cells of the growing follicles start to make estrogen. Notice in figure(d) that there is a slow rise in the amount of estrogen

or around the lung or brain. Endometrial implants‚ while they can cause problems‚ are benign (Stoppler‚ 2011). In endometriosis‚ displaced endometrial tissue continues to act as it normally would: It thickens‚ breaks down and bleeds with each menstrual cycle. And because this displaced tissue has no way to exit your body‚ it becomes trapped. Surrounding tissue can become irritated‚ eventually developing scar tissue and adhesions‚ which is the abnormal tissue that binds organs together (Staff‚ 2010)

The first thing I did was to stop drinking coffee or any caffineated drink two days before the start of my menstrual cycle. Guess what‚ it worked. The cramps were not as bad as they were when I was drinking coffee. To see if it was the coffee or just not so bad a month‚ I drank one cup of coffee during my cycle and the pain was horrible.
