Ladies what do you know about your August Visitor

My August Visitor Is Here…Again!

Menstruation gets dubbed some pretty creative monikers. You may choose an alternative name to save your coworkers or your spouse embarrassment without meaning to come up with such hilarious code names. What are the most popular in Nigeria? Among them are "My August Visitor, " Killing Chicken", “In My Holies” and of course TTOM (or that time of the month),

Some of the more creative entries on this list include “giving birth to a blood diamond,” “having your garage painted,” and “the tomato soup is on the boil.” Some of the zaniest euphemisms draw on popular culture; for example, “Kelly Kapowski can’t make it to cheerleading practice” and Of course, you could just “order your clams with red sauce” or “smoke a lady cigar” to get your point across.

There Are Plenty of Eggs in Your Basket

When it comes to counting the eggs in your proverbial basket—believe me, you are born with more than you’ll need. The average female is born with roughly 2 million eggs at her disposal. By the time she hits puberty, that number decreases to around 40,000. The rate at which women lose eggs depends on many different factors, primarily age and overall reproductive health.

One of the most interesting aspects of the egg production cycle plays out before a girl is even born. During the fetal stage, when a baby girl is still in utero, she may have as many as 7 million eggs in her body, a number which will decline by about two-thirds by the time she is born. However, since most women release only 400 to 500 eggs in a lifetime, there’s never any reason to fear you’ll suffer a shortage.

You’re Sexier When You Ovulate

True fact: men find ovulating women more attractive! One study from the Psychological Science journal discovered that men’s testosterone levels soared when they caught a whiff of clothing worn by ovulating women. Conversely, men experienced lower levels of testosterone production when sniffing the clothes of non-ovulating women. This suggests a male biological urge to mate with women when they are at their most fertile.

Fortunately for the propagation of the human species, this principle works both ways. Anecdotal evidence suggests that women are more in the mood to do the deed when they’re ovulating, and science has even chimed in its support for that widely held opinion. Studies have shown that women in committed, happy relationships are more likely to wear revealing clothing and flirt with other men during ovulation. What’s more is that a woman’s libido intensifies during ovulation as she approaches her sexual peak between age 30 and 35.

How Much Blood?

During the average period duration, a woman will commonly emit 2 to 4 tablespoons of blood in total. While it may seem like much more due to water retention, most women do not actually suffer excess loss of blood because of “heavy flow.” However, during a so-called “heavy period,” a woman may lose twice as much blood as she normally would, though even very heavy menstrual bleeding does not normally pose a serious health risk.

Signs of a heavy period include using abnormally high numbers of pads or tampons, or the need to pair both types of protection together to prevent flooding to clothes or bed sheets. In the majority of cases, there is no identifiable underlying cause for a heavy period, though there are correlations with certain factors. Uterine fibroids, blood-thinning medications, ovary cysts and the use of intrauterine contraception can all increase menstrual blood flow. Orally administered emergency contraception also tends to cause heavier periods, which may last for several months

Period Irregularity

Just as various factors cause the onset of menstruation, period regularity can be different for every woman, and it can fluctuate at various points in life. Irregular menstruation can result in spotting, a late period, an unusually long or heavy period, or missing a period altogether. And it can be spurred by everything from stress and diet to sudden, significant changes in weight or taking certain medications. In particular, researchers have linked anti-epileptic drugs and anti-psychotics to irregular periods. High levels of stress, eating disorders, and benign or malignant tumors can also cause symptoms.

According to the National Institutes of Health, menstrual irregularities can be triggered by medical conditions including poorly controlled diabetes, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, polycystic ovary syndrome, and high levels of prolactin in the bloodstream. Periods also tend to be more irregular during adolescence, pregnancy, and during perimenopause — the unique state a woman enters as she approaches menopause.

Why think or Commit Suicide

I find it hard to believe that people can actually kill themselves because they think they have gotten to the peak of frustration in life. Its so appalling because it has created a negative trend in the minds of the younger generation.  People commit suicide for love, money, family and so on. I am sorry to say this People who commit suicide are Stupid and Ignorant of the fact that When There is Life,  there is hope. I dont want to write a long piece here. If you are reading these piece and you are  attempting  to commit suicide I Beg You S T O P I T. Sorrow may last for a night But Joy cometh in the morning. Have that in mind. It Is Well With Your Soul.
