This 2-Minute Video Is The Story Of Every Woman’s Life

Me: Being a woman is tough.
My body: Oh! You have no idea. Ask me.
My mind: Shut up you two! I am pms-ing.

No matter how much you study the complex mechanism of a woman’s body, there’s still a lot left to discover. And when it comes to that dreadful menstrual phase, words fall short.

According to Wikipedia, “Menstruation, also known as a period or monthly cycle, is the regular discharge of blood and mucosal tissue from the inner lining of the uterus through the vagina.”

Seriously? That’s it?
Wiki, this is just the beginning, darling. You can’t even imagine what this entire menstrual phase encompasses. We go through so many physical, emotional, financial (shopping is a therapy, remember?) changes, it feels like a different kind of existence altogether.

Though menstrual cycle divinely equips a woman to create another human being, it also muddles up her brain to no end. Every month, Aunt Flo’s arrival leads to new discoveries. And some of them are too strange to believe. In those five days of torment, the hormones are playing their own freaky tricks. And all we can do is wait for this phase to pass.

Here’s an interesting take on what a woman deals with throughout her ovulation cycle. This video sums up the complete journey in just two minutes. Two minutes of absolute truth that is an inseparable part of every woman’s life. What’s even better? This will be an eye-opening discovery for menfolks who keep asking, ‘Why are you behaving like this?’

This video was first published by Glamour Magazine. It throws light on the symptoms and science of a woman’s 28-day menstrual cycle. And it’s as perfect as it can get.

Didn’t that sound like the story of your life? Month after month. And those mood swings? Aren’t they true to the T?

So, here’s a detailed day by day account of what a woman’s body (and her mind) goes through every month:

Days 1-2

The most torturous couple of days when the period begins. They usually arrive after a ghastly PMS. Be ready for the decrease in the levels of the estrogen hormone. Low estrogen leads to fatigue and mood swings. There’s more. In the first two days of menstrual cycle, uterine contractions increase. Thus, the painful cramps.

This is a great time for a light workout.

Days 3-5

Goodbye ‘Mother nature’s monthly gift’! Now you are sorted. With increasing estrogen levels, you will experience an instant energy boost. Everything will seem within reach. Best time to get tasks done.

Days 6-9

With happy estrogen levels, your face will look more symmetrical and bright. And then, enters our dear testosterone. This hormone is your winning card. It will bring out the best in you, in all forms. Your fast and flawless phase.

Days 10-13

Estrogen is at play again. You look and feel stunning. Plus, you are at your fertile best. A perfect time to make babies. And now that you are at it, here’s an interesting fact – this time of the month blesses you with the most intense orgasms. Just saying!

This is also a time when you are optimistic, fun, and sociable.

Day 14

Enough of fun and thrill! Time to calm down and prepare for ovulation. Your ovaries are all set to release eggs that will either create a life or dissolve if they do not fertilize.

Days 15-18

Brace yourself for hormone imbalances and maddening mood swings. You might encounter sudden emotional outbursts and exhausting lethargy.

Days 19-22

Estrogen drops. Testosterone and progesterone go up. Your skin becomes oily and sensitive. Time to take good care of yourself. Stick to a healthy diet, please. Even if you don’t feel up to it.

Days 23-25

Progesterone upsurge alert! Your libido will take a hit, and you will constantly feel bloated. The mind will wander off track, and you will lose interest in everything. This is the arrival sign of our most detested demon – The PMS. Up your guards, ladies. You can fight it. Or at least you can tell yourself that.

Days 26 – 28

Gear up to raise your serotonin levels! Get in your workout clothes and step on that treadmill with all your might. Regular exercise will make you feel better. And hey, no caffeine and sugary foods during these days. They will add to your misery. Keep sipping water and stay hydrated. And while you are doing all this, it will knock on your door again.
Yes! The period.

Told you at the beginning of the article – being a woman is tough. Yet, totally worth it.

This valuable video must be shared with your friends, bestfriends, boyfriends, friend-zoned friends, family friends, and would-be friends. Period.
