Wow. I just watched multiple videos describing this exact topic with millions of views and THIS is hands down the absolute BEST VIDEO describing the menstrual cycle. It's so detailed and the picture animations are perfect!! Bless you!! THANK YOU SO MUCH
As a woman due to undergo IVF in a few weeks, I have to say that this video is simply BRILLIANT. I now know what all these hormonal injections on my medical plan are about, and it feels empowering. Thanks!
I learned more in this short video than in my lecture class. All that money we spend at universities.. at the end of the day school is only for my degree. But 90% of my learning has been online😂. I appreciate channels like this one. Thank you😊.
thank you so much! my teacher did such a crappy job of explaining this but it makes so much sense now! makes me question our schooling system when one 10 minute youtube video teaches me more than 5 hour long classes put together...
I love this video. My work focuses on the energetic, emotional, intuitive, and and physical effects of the menstrual cycle and how we can best treat our bodies holistically to have pain-free and PMS-free cramps. This video is a wonderful biological explanation of what our bodies are up to. Will be sending the more scientifically-biased clients to this video. Thank you!
Pain is necessary and we must thank our bodies for it, because pain let us know what’s happening in our bodies. The amount of pain is what the focus should be. Pain could also keep us alive, no feeling pain might kill us faster. People are always asking for pain killers; instead of asking why I feel this way? What can I do to improve the pain? What’s my diet,? Who is there to support while I struggle with my life decisions and responsibilities in life.
This is phenomenal, thank you for recapping and using the final chart which is hard to understand otherwise! No it is easy to see it as a stepwise process!
Thank you for this video, it was so handy and informational! Love all the drawing and diagrams, helped to make this topic make much more sense! As a young woman who didn’t grow up with a bunch of women’s health knowledge, this helped me understand what’s going on and how our bodies go through hormonal changes. Keep up the great work 🙌🏼
This literally THE BEST explanation of the menstrual cycle I've come across on RU-vid!!!! It's so simple, clear and to the point without the waffle! Thank you so much!!
@@ZeroToFinals Hi I decided to revisit this video for a refresher and I have a question which I didn't before lol. So you mentioned the HCG produced by the foetus is what keeps the corpus luteum alive (which i get why - cos of the progesterone to maintain the lining etc etc). But once the placenta is able to produce the progesterone does the corpus luteum still need to be alive? As in later on in the pregnancy the foetus is still producing HCG which means the corpus luteum is still maintained (although there's no need since the placenta is already producing the progesterone by this point). So is the corpus luteum kept alive throughout the pregnancy then? I hope my question makes sense. :/
I've struggled to understand Menstruation physiology since high school and even early pre-med years, but this video simplied everything into a concise, easy to understand format
Bro~ You are a legend. Be Blessed. I just loved how smoothly you spoke without rushing. I didn't even take notes, I grasped everything upon watching and it felt like nothing. This makes me question the point of some professors in universities 🙈🙈. Most of them just don't make any sense and I always get surprised. How is that possible? Again, thanks for making this comprehensive video.
Chris Mae V. Pascua V-A Mabini After getting confused reading two different books on this very topic, I had a solid understanding of the whole cycle in just 15 minutes.
the material i was given read assumed i knew what a follicule was, was an endometrium was, etc. this is super concise and informative in 15 minutes. thank you very much,
there is some miss confusion estrogen level not dip before ovulation the fact is estrogen level very high before ovulation as a result estrogen sends positive feedback to hypothalamus and release fsh and Lh from ant. pituitary.
Very nice explanation about the hormons! The only problem is that a regular cycle is 21-38 days, can vary a lot from woman to woman, and ovulation doesn't necessarily happen on day 14.
So well explained. I have gone through couple of videos, checked content over google, was not very clear. Then i watch this one and it clears my questions. I am not a medical student, i just love to know how human body functions, thanks for explaining in such a good way.
I thought that when oestrogen reaches a certain(higher concentration) it actually becomes a positive feedback loop which triggers the LH surge. IS that incorrect?
Comparatively easier to understand from this video. Yet Many more things are still needed to be added. But this vid is helpful to have an overview of this entirely complex process. Need more vids Like this. Plz do share videos for Hormone action mechanism.
The luteal phase can vary in length: “A normal luteal phase can last anywhere from 11 to 17 days. In most women , the luteal phase lasts 12 to 14 days. Your luteal phase is considered to be short if it lasts less than 10 days. In other words, you have a short luteal phase if you get your period 10 days or less after you ovulate.” -Healthline
Someone please explain to me, what happens to the ovum if unfertilized? i mean during menstruation endometrium layers sheds off through vagina but what happens to the ovum ?
Women's body is so fascinating. The graphics were quite nice. They reminded me of the contraceptive pill although I still don't get very well how they work, it seems more clear now.
To understand more about pregnant program t.co/ZjiQWg7kxq At 44 years of age, I had been able to resolve my erection problems. After learning that my period was delayed, It made me really fired up. Now I welcome parenthood and maternity.
4:45 actually there is surge in estrogen before ovulation. That signals the brain that the follicle is mature enough..There is a surge in estrogen just before ovulation. This surge in estrogen helps trigger the release of luteinizing hormone (LH), which is responsible for causing the mature follicle in the ovary to release an egg during ovulation. Estrogen levels typically rise in the days leading up to ovulation, creating a favorable environment for fertilization and conception.
Good video! Just a comment, the luteal phase is more constant than follicular phase, however is not always and is not in all women 14 days. In fact, here in Argentina, usually the luteal phase has 11-13 days average. We wish always been 14 days haha. Regards!
yeah, depends of the environment and stress situation, in countries of south america @@Schiemanwe have difficult situations about economic situations and work conditions, so, all of that affect our cycle.
Ovulation can occur anywhere from Day 9 or 10 of the cycle (which would be fairly early) and Day 1 is the first day of your menses. If you’re TTC it’s important to know the day you ovulate because every month there’s only a 24-48 window that you can get pregnant.
@@AgentCathy mine is day 12 or 13 normally, I temporarily froze my menstrual cycle with birth control. It depends on your body. Also you can technically get pregnant throughout your whole cycle even during your period(it’s very rare but it can happen) however your best chance to get pregnant is during ovulation, but pregnancy can occur anytime.
@@happysloth3208 You can only get pregnant when there is an egg present. It is possible, for there to be an egg present at anytime during your cycle, but that would mean that you have ovulated while your uterus is still shedding lining, which would be extremely rare. You cannot get pregnant without having ovulated because an egg is necessary to achieve pregnancy. The bottom line is that an egg has to be there or at a bare minimum on it's way for the sperm to meet up with it, hence the 24-48 hour window. In a relatively normal cycle, a woman will ovulate around the two week mark (give or take a day or to on either end- mine was very early) and the egg stays there in the tube for 1-2 days. Once it leaves the tube without fertilization, pregnancy is not going to occur. Fertilization does not occur in the uterus.
@@AgentCathy yeah but everyone’s cycles are different so if you’re trying not get pregnant it’s best to exercise caution on days 12 to 17. Also there is a very small chance of getting pregnant during your period. It’s near zero on days 1 to 2, but the chance of pregnancy increases every day so theoretically someone can get pregnant even though they’re on their period. I know it’s rare but it’s always safe to assume that it’s possible when avoiding pregnancy.
