When your girl tells you she’s on her period?

Let’s face it, guys: menstruation is not something we typically enjoy talking about or dealing with. However, when your girl tells you she’s on her period, it’s important to handle the situation with tact and sensitivity. Here are some tips and tricks to navigate this monthly occurrence without losing your cool.

The Basics of Menstruation

First things first – let’s get a basic understanding of what happens during a menstrual cycle. The female reproductive system prepares for pregnancy every month by thickening the uterine lining in case an egg is fertilized. If no pregnancy occurs, that lining sheds through the vagina as blood and other fluids – this is what we refer to as a “period”.

Pro tip: Knowing the terminology can go a long way in showing your girlfriend that you care and understand.

What Does It Mean When She Says She’s On Her Period?

When your girl tells you she’s on her period, it means exactly what it sounds like – she’s currently experiencing bleeding from her uterus as part of her monthly menstrual cycle.

Fun fact: Women will experience roughly 450 periods over their lifetime!

Keep in mind that everyone experiences their periods differently – some women may have light flow while others may experience heavy bleeding along with cramps or bloating.

Handling Mood Swings During This Time

During menstrual cycles women often do well emotionally but there are times where they struggle with mood swings due to hormonal changes occurring within them . Do try be accommodating during these times;)
