What is happening in my belly?

An easy-to-understand guide about period

Your thoughts (189)

Ever wondered what happens in our belly before and during our period?

The journey
The journey starts in the ovaries. They store all the eggs that we will ever have in our entire life.

Most women have two ovaries. Every month, an egg travels from an ovary to the fallopian tube

From the fallopian tube, our egg moves to the uterus.

Our uterus thickens its walls. It’s creating a pillow for the egg to hide just in case that egg meets spermatozoa and gets fertilized.
Spermatozoa come from boys. It takes both a spermatozoa and an egg to make a baby.

If the egg doesn't get fertilized within a week or two, our body decides it's game over.

Your uterus sends out everything it doesn’t need, including the lining and the egg. That results in what we call periods or menstruation.

This process takes place every single month for most of our adult life.

Now that you know what's going on inside your belly. It's no wonder why it can be so painful sometimes. Our bodies are super smart and really amazing, aren't they?

Hey Horlar! Some people see their periods twice a month because menstrual circle is from 21 days to 35 days (depending on the individual). Some also get their periods 13 times a month instead of the regular 12 times (once a month). There are various reasons for irregular periods as it is called but we suggest you talk to a trusted adult and see a doctor about this. We hope this helps.

Hey girl! Yes, pain killers can be taken to reduce the pain of menstruation. You can also try using a hot water bottle - Pour some hot water into a bottle, cover with a cloth and place on your lower abdomen. Be careful so that you don't get burnt. Also, drinking hot water can soothe the pain. Another tip is to take a walk. This may be inconveniencing but staying in a place will not help either. We hope this helps

Hey Nellyfancy! Menstruation and pregnancy are two different things. Do not stress yourself with thoughts like this okay? The symptoms of menstruation are different from pregnancy. Just allow nature to take it's course and be hopeful for a stress-free pregnancy. We hope this helps.

Hey Twikle! There is no right age for one to get married (although you have to be above 18 in Nigeria). Marriage is meant to 2 mature people that are ready to handle the responsibilities without having to include external parties. You both need to have a steady source of income, a house to call your own and sincere respect and love for each other. Once again, the most important thing is maturity. We hope this helps.

Hey Vick! A woman gets fertile half way into her menstrual circle. Most times, timing when it is safe to have sex can be tricky because sperm lives in the body for up to 5 days and if not properly planned, one can get pregnant. Apart from pregnancy, chances of having STDs, STIs and even HIV will also be very high if you have unprotected sex. If you must have sex, please use a condom. We hope this helps.

Hey Amakaright! Like just Rose said stress can cause irregular periods. Also, your diet can be a cause too. You need to cut down on all the sweet things and eat healthy. Irregular periods are also hormonal sometimes so you may need to see a doctor. Remember to carry a trusted adult along. Thanks Rose for helping your fellow Springster. We hope this helps

Hey Merit! Thanks for the opening up with this comment. You need to calculate your period because guessing will only catch you off guard which may cause you to get stained. In calculating your period/menstrual circle, note that the first day of your period is also the first day of your menstrual circle and the last day of your period is not the last day of your circle but the last day of your period. The duration/flow depends on the individual. The last day of your cycle is the day before your next period starts. For example, if your period started on the 1st of April and your next period starts on the 3rd of May, your cycle will be 2nd of May. This means that your cycle lasts for 31 days. Your new cycle starts again from the 1st day of your next period. Please note that your period can be delayed at sometimes and can also come earlier than normal. We hope this helps.

March 20, 2022, 7:58 p.m.

Latest Reply

hey Moreni! Thanks for the comment. Your period is not mean to come on a particular date. When we say monthly cycle, what we mean is either 28 days or 30 days (depending on your cycle). It does not have to start on the 1st of the month and end on the last day. It can start at the end of the month but as long as it lasts up to 28 or 30 days as the case may be with your menstrual cycle, that is all that matters. What you need to do is to track your period using a calendar to know how long your cycle is. Please note that menstrual cycles last from 21 -35 days depending on the individual. We hope this helps.

Hey Springster! What you see is spotting and it is perfectly normal. Most girls tend to see spots of blood on their pants after their period. Do not panic, it happens to many of us. Use a panty liner or clean up with a tissue regularly when you see this. We hope this helps

Hey Bestie! There is nothing wrong with you. There is nothing wrong with you seeing vaginal discharge. You do not have to start seeing your period before you can start having vaginal discharge. Your body starts to adjust to hormonal changes when you start puberty and some people even start to see discharge 6 - 12 months before they start to see their period. So, do not be worried. It is perfectly normal. We hope this helps

Hey Pat! Thanks for the comment. You should be more concerned about your period than having sex right now. You need to see a doctor to find out what could be the cause. Also, please note that pregnancy is not the only risk involved when you have unprotected sex. You can also get STDs/STIs or even HIV. Please think abou the risks involved properly. We hope this helps

Hey bridget_u! Thanks for the comment. Almost every girl gets cramps when she is on her period so you are not alone. You should talk to a trusted adult and see a doctor about your irregular period. We hope this helps

Hey debby! Thanks for the comment. You are not alone in this. Periods come with pain/cramps and it can be really uncomfortable as nobody likes pain but getting your period means growth. You can try any of these easy solutions to stop the pains; have a hot bath, place a hot water bottle on your tummy, take a walk or take some painkillers as prescribed by a doctor or certified pharmacist. However, if the pain persists, please talk to a trusted adult and see a doctor. We hope this helps.

Hello Fifi, That is not unusual, some people do not have cramps. It depends on your body. Also, many girls and women have different moods before it starts and while it is on. No need to worry. We hope this helps.
