3. PREGNANCY CAN STILL OCCUR DURING MENSTRUATION<\/strong><\/p>\nContrary to popular belief that a woman cannot take in during menstruation, pregnancy can actually occur during this period because semen can live for up to one week. So since sperm can survive in your body for up to one week, if you ovulate just after your period finishes, conception can occur from sex that occurred during your period.\u00a0For women that do not have a strict 28 \u2013 32 day menstrual cycle, falling pregnant during their period is easier.<\/p>\n
4. YOUR PERIOD CONTAINS MORE THAN JUST BLOOD <\/b><\/p>\n
The menstrual cycle is designed to help prepare a woman’s body for pregnancy by building up the lining of the uterus; however, in the event that no egg is fertilized by a sperm, the thickened lining of the uterus is shed through the vagina with some blood, and that is what you get as your period.<\/p>\n
If you’ve ever compared blood from other parts of your body with what comes out of your vagina during your cycle, you’d have noticed the difference between the two.<\/p>\n
5. YOU BECOME LESS ATTRACTIVE TO MEN DURING YOUR PERIOD <\/b><\/p>\n
A man\u2019s testosterone levels are directly affected by a woman\u2019s scent, which changes during a menstruation.<\/p>\n
One study where men sniffed the T-shirts of women who were ovulating showed the men\u2019s testosterone levels spike, while testosterone decreased when they sniffed T-shirts of women who weren\u2019t ovulating.<\/p>\n
Another study showed that strippers make twice as much in tips when they\u2019re ovulating than when they\u2019re on their period.<\/p>\n
6. YOU THINK MORE LIKE A MAN DURING YOUR PERIOD <\/b><\/p>\n
Due to a reduction in estrogen levels in women during menstruation, there can be an enhancement of their ‘male cognitive skills’, thereby giving them a temporary cognitive advantage in areas such as spatial thinking.<\/p>\n
7. YOU MAY GET SYMPTOMS OF PREGNANCY IN BUILD UP TO YOUR MENSTRUATION<\/b> <\/b><\/p>\n
Bloating, irritability, fluid retention, acne etc…are some of the many symptoms you are likely to experience in the build up to your menstruation; which are the exact symptoms that are associated with pregnancy. The reason for this is because your body is programmed to mimic the same symptoms in pregnancy during your period.<\/p>\n
8. YOU NEED BODY FAT TO MENSTRUATE<\/b><\/p>\n
If your body fat plummets below 8-12%, your period will abruptly cease, if it ever began at all. Fat cells are correlated with a woman\u2019s estrogen levels and are thus necessary in both menstruation and procreation.<\/p>\n
