Normal hypothalamic function is needed for your menstrual cycles to mature to regularity in length and normal ovulation. Evidence says that CHC use in teens with normal menstrual cycles causes them to gain less bone than they should for their age (Scholes 2011, Polatti 1995). “FEMININE HYGIENE” AND THE ULTIMATE DOUBLE STANDARD When stores, advertisements, and signs evoke feminine hygiene, they suggest, linguistically, that the words tampon, pad, or cup seem scary.

Normal hypothalamic function is needed for your menstrual cycles to mature to regularity in length and normal ovulation. Evidence says that CHC use in teens with normal menstrual cycles causes them to gain less bone than they should for their age (Scholes 2011, Polatti 1995). “FEMININE HYGIENE” AND THE ULTIMATE DOUBLE STANDARD When stores, advertisements, and signs evoke feminine hygiene, they suggest, linguistically, that the words tampon, pad, or cup seem scary. The phrase feminine hygiene implies “products to keep the unkempt, unruly, unhygienic, dirty, unsanitary, bloody vagina in check,” rather than simply stating the actual terms for what womenuse.
JUDY BLUME'S WOMEN BLEED It too focuses largely on the lives of a number of girls and women, this time built around a tragic series of three plane crashes that actually occurred in 1951-52 in the vicinity of Patterson, New Jersey where Blume herself grew up.

We are an interdisciplinary group of researchers, health care providers, policy makers, and students who share an interest in WHY YOUNG TEENS NEED REAL PERIODS-NOT THE PILL Hormonal birth control is often prescribed to “regulate” periods, but that is nonsensical because a pill-bleed is not the same as a real period. A real period is the end result of a series of important hormonal events including ovulation. In contrast, a pill bleed is a withdrawal bleed dictated by the dosing regimen of the drugmanufacturer.

Suzan Hutchinson, menstrual activist, educator and founder of periodwise.com, a project dedicated to empowering girls and women to embrace the taboo subject of menstruation, has a few ideas about this.

WHAT YOUR PERIOD IS TRYING TO TELL YOU ABOUT YOUR THYROID Guest Post by Dr. Lara Briden, ND The thing I love about periods is the story they tell about health.
