I would much rather like 15-20 minutes of pain pushing it all out at once than 7 days of random ass pain every few hours that leaves me in my bed wanting to cry

The egg releasing is ovulation. Your period is the shedding of lining that was supposed to cushion a baby. Reduce reuse recycle why tf do we have to make a new bed every month 😭

no. it’s possible to shed it all. it comes out in the shape of your uterus or sometimes shredded pieces. it just happens for some people

this is misinformation. birth control helps more than anything for those of us with pmos or other conditions. also, there are different types that work for different people

this is a good point. we don’t release an egg during periods. BUT the reason we don’t reuse the same egg is because only having one egg means you only have one chance for pregnancy

Reusing the lining is different for us rather than mammals. Mammals do not menstruate like we do, they reabsorb the lining. However, ours is so thick and constructed differently that it makes it less of a cost of energy to expel it rather than reabsorb it. A lot of the human body/animal bodies are built on the notion of ā€œwhat is less costly to doā€

Which is a theory for death as well - as time goes on our bodies get damaged more and more, DNA strands become shorter as we age due to the replication/division process, and it is more expensive overall to keep maintaining an organism that is worsening. Our bodies just don’t handle it because we aren’t built to last, we are built to be temporary so that we can grow, survive, reproduce, and then die. It sounds bleak but it’s actually quite beautiful in a sense. It is this way for the sake of
