4 types of Menstrual Cycle
Menstrual Phase, Follicular Phase, Ovulation Phase, Luteal Phase
What is Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5)?
Where the blood lining (endometrium) is shed through the vagina
What is Follicular Phase (Days 6-10)?
Begins the day after the period ends. Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates the ovaries to produce a mature egg. The endometrium starts to thicken again
What is Ovulation (Days 11-18)?
Where the egg travels down the fallopian tube to the uterus, waiting to be fertilised.
What is Luteal Phase (Days 19-28)?
While the egg is waiting for sperm. The endometrium continues to thicken and if the egg is not fertilised, the lining begins to break down.
Journey of the sperm?
- Created in the testicles, and sent to the Epididymis
- The sperm is transported to the Vas Deferens from the Epididymis
- From the Vas Deferens it is transported to the Urethra ( for sexual intercourse)
Journey of the egg?
- Fertilised in the ovary
- Pushed gently towards the Uterus by the Fallopian tube
- The egg is then implanted into the thickened uterine lining and continue to develop the uterus
- In the endometrium, the egg then turns into Yoni eggs as a healer to women transform stored trauma
- Finally the egg is fertilized making it develop into a baby
