Added: 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]A lot of people think your period is your cycle, but it's actually just the beginning of the cycle. Your menstrual phase starts on the first day of your period. During this phase, estrogen and progesterone are at their lowest levels, which is why you might feel more tired, emotional, slower, or more inward during this time. And your body is shedding its uterine lining. But while all that's happening, here's the part that nobody told us. Your body is already preparing for the next cycle. Follicles in your ovaries are already starting to develop.

[00:00:26]While one cycle is ending, another one is already beginning. Your body is absolutely incredible.
