What is a Period?
A period, or your menstrual cycle is basically when each month, your hormones prepares you to have a baby. But of course, we are too young to have a baby, so if the egg that is going through your fallopian tubes/uterus doesn't get fertilized, then your period comes!
Isn't that neat?!
(HAHAHA not really!) It could be a few days of h-e- double hockey sticks for some girls. Periods can last from 3-7 days, but you should see a doctor if it lasts for longer than 7 days.
PMS is Pre Menstrual Syndrome and happens about a week before your period and sometimes during your whole period. A few symptoms include:
-Headaches
-Nausea
-Tender Breasts
-Cramps
-Moodiness
-Cravings for Salty Foods
-Bloating
But all girls are different. IF you don't have any of these symptoms, then you are one lucky girl!
