What counts as the first day of a new menstrual cycle?
-
Explanation
The first day of your period marks the start of your menstrual cycle, which lasts until the first day of your next period.
How long is the average menstrual cycle?
-
Explanation
This is the average length of a menstrual cycle, but a “normal” cycle can range anywhere between 21 and 35 days.
How many phases are there in the menstrual cycle?
-
Explanation
There are 4 phases in the menstrual cycle:
-
Menstrual phase
This is when your period starts and your body sheds the uterine lining, causing menstrual bleeding. It usually lasts about 3–7 days.
-
Follicular phase
Your body starts preparing for ovulation by thickening the uterine lining and growing follicles in the ovaries, one of which will mature into an egg.
-
Ovulation
Your ovary releases a mature egg, usually around the middle of your cycle. This is the time when you’re most likely to get pregnant.
-
Luteal phase
Your body gets ready for a possible pregnancy by increasing progesterone. If pregnancy does not occur, hormone levels drop and your next period begins.

How much bleeding is considered abnormal during a period?
-
Explanation
If you’re losing 80ml or more of blood each period, it may indicate heavy menstrual bleeding. It’s best to speak with your healthcare provider for advice and support. They may suggest an iron supplement like Weliva® Active Iron TM, to help maintain your iron levels.
What color is normal for period blood?
-
Explanation
Healthy period blood typically ranges from bright red to dark brown or black.
Pink blood typically happens at the beginning of your period when your bleeding is at its lightest flow.
Bright red blood early in your period means it’s fresh and flowing quickly, so it hasn’t had time to oxidize.
Dark red, brown or black blood indicates slightly older blood and a slower flow as the blood darkens throughout your cycle.

What can happen to periods during perimenopause?

During perimenopause, hormone levels begin to change, which can affect your menstrual cycle. Periods may become less regular, and bleeding may become lighter or heavier than usual. This transition often happens before menopause.
When is a person considered to have reached menopause?
-
Explanation
Menopause is reached when a person has gone 12 consecutive months without a period. It marks the end of the menstrual cycle and the fertile phase of life.
Do symptoms always stop once your periods end at menopause?
-

Even after periods stop, hormonal changes can continue to cause symptoms like hot flashes, sleep disturbances, irritability and fatigue.
Just like period symptoms, there are ways to support your body and manage these changes. Weliva® Cimidona® can help provide support women navigating this life stage.
