Bit of a basic doubt but i never really understood the periods thing properly. Is it only about conceiving or does it do more? Would love if someone explains simply.
From my PCOS experience, periods are a big indicator of health, not just fertility. When mine went missing it meant something was off hormonally. So no, its not only about conceiving.
Periods are linked to fertility yes, but they also reflect your overall hormonal health. Irregular cycles can hint at issues like thyroid or PCOS. So its more than just about getting pregnant.
I wondered the same while planning. My gynac explained the cycle prepares the body for pregnancy, but a healthy period also just means things are balanced inside. It helped me understand my body better.
Not only for conceiving. Menstruation is your body shedding the uterus lining each cycle, and a regular period is a sign your hormones and reproductive health are working well. My doctor said its like a monthly health report card.
