HC 1  - Your Menstrual Cycle Phases

Menstrual cycle phases are an important part of your life. Find out what’s going on at each stage of your cycle so you know what to expect.
<br><br>
Your menstrual cycle phases occur each month when your reproductive system repeats a regular pattern of events, all controlled by hormones. There are four parts, or phases, that repeat. Here’s what you need to know about each.

HC 3  - Your Menstrual Cycle Phases

1. __The Menstrual Phase (Menstruation)__<br>
The menstrual phase is the part commonly referred to as “your period.” The official start of your cycle is the first day of your menstrual phase – the first day of your period.<br><br>
You may be thinking, “Where is this stuff coming from?” Menstrual blood is shed from the lining of your uterus. It goes from your uterus through your cervix, vagina and out through your vaginal opening.<br><br>
A period usually lasts about three to seven days. It may seem like more, but the average amount of menstrual flow for your entire period is about a quarter of a cup!

2. __The Follicular Phase__<br>
This phase is all about your body preparing for pregnancy each month. It starts with your estrogen hormone telling the lining of your uterus to thicken and develop to prepare for a fertilized egg. At the same time, another hormone, known as the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), stimulates your ovarian follicles to grow. Each follicle contains an egg. Usually, one egg will get totally ready for fertilization each month.<br><br>
Your estrogen levels rise dramatically during the days before ovulation and peak about one day before the next phase starts.<br>
If you have regular 28-day menstrual cycles, ovulation usually occurs on day 14.

3. __The Ovulation Phase__<br>
This surge in estrogen triggers a spike in a third hormone – the luteinizing hormone, or LH. LH is what makes a follicle rupture and release an egg. If you have regular 28-day menstrual cycles, ovulation usually occurs on day 14. However, most women have different menstrual cycle lengths. In general, ovulation happens 11 to 16 days before your upcoming period.<br><br>
Ovulation is what it’s called when one of the ovaries releases a mature egg. The egg travels out of the ovary, into the nearest fallopian tube and into your uterus. As the egg moves down the fallopian tube over several days, the lining of the uterus continues to grow thicker and thicker.<br><br>
It takes about three to four days for the egg to travel toward the uterus. From there, an egg waits for about 24 hours in hopes of being fertilized before it starts degenerating.

4. __The Luteal Phase__<br>
After ovulation, the luteal phase begins. The empty follicle turns into a corpus luteum. The cells of the corpus luteum produce estrogen and large amounts of progesterone. Progesterone stimulates your uterine lining to prepare for a fertilized egg.<br><br>

Here’s where two things can happen. If you become pregnant, the egg moves into your uterus and attaches to the lining. If you are not pregnant, the lining of the uterus is shed through the vaginal opening. Your period starts and a new menstrual cycle begins.

card 1

<p>
A period calendar is a great way to make sure PMS or your period don&rsquo;t take you by surprise. This doesn't mean you have to bust out the paper calendar and actually mark the day &mdash; more on that later, though. Charting gives you more control over your reproductive health and helps you understand your own body rhythms.
</p>
<strong>
What to Track</strong>
<p>
Keeping track of your period symptoms on a monthly cycle calendar is easy, but it&rsquo;s one of those things that won&rsquo;t work unless you do it regularly. On top of noting when you start and stop your period, try writing down when you get cramps, mood changes, changes in your vaginal discharge, pain when you don&rsquo;t expect it, or other symptoms you think might be period-related.
</p>
<p>
After a few cycles, you&rsquo;ll likely see, a pattern. Then you can even foresee symptoms and be ready for them. PMS coming up? Stash some medicine in your purse. Period due? Stock up on pads so you aren&rsquo;t caught without one when you need it most!
</p>
<p>
If you've been having periods for a while, you know what your normal flow is. Keep track of light or heavy bleeding and any changes in color and texture (like blood clots). Also note any unusual vaginal secretions that occur during the month. You may notice a thicker or stickier discharge at mid-cycle &mdash; this is normal and means you&rsquo;re ovulating.
</p>
<strong>
Why It&rsquo;s Important
</strong>
<p>
Regularly recording everything about your cycle, even if it feels weird, can give your doctor important information. Next time you visit your doctor, he or she will probably ask you the date of your last period. If you track your periods, the answer will be really easy! And that&rsquo;s not the only thing your doctor will find helpful to know.
</p>

A period calendar is how you keep track of your period. It can help you stay prepared in more than one way. See what we mean!

It's best to change your daily liner every four hours to help you feel shower-fresh, confident, and clean all day.

 Xtra Protection Daily Liners are unscented for protection that goes unnoticed.

Are Xtra Protection Daily Liners scented?

Check regularly when you go to the bathroom. If you sense signs of wetness or feel any heaviness in your panties, then it might be time to change your liner.

How will I know if my liner needs to be changed?

Xtra Protection Daily Liners are made with Edge-2-Edge Adhesive that helps keep the liner in place.

Will my Xtra Protection Daily Liners stay in place?

For light days or as back up for period leaks, try Always Xtra Protection Daily Liners Long for all-day comfort. These pantiliners keep you five times drier* and help you feel clean and comfortable for up to 10 hours. With their super soft material, Always Xtra Protection Daily Liners Long are comfortable to wear every day of the month.
