The Period Box

A period is as normal as breathing. A period is as normal as eating. Our periods are NORMAL!

Periods should be celebrated
Our menstrual cycles are the way our bodies produce hormones for our physical and mental health, AND our period symptoms can give us signs to tell us about what’s happening inside our body that we can’t see. When you tune into your body, this is so helpful!
⠀⠀
💕 Here are a few reasons to celebrate and appreciate our bodies! 💕
⠀⠀
- The female egg is the LARGEST cell in the human body!
- Your ovaries house ALL the eggs you will ever have when you are born!
- Your ovaries talk to your brain to keep your period regular!
- If you’re stressed or in prolonged danger, your body will press “pause” on your period in order to divert energy elsewhere to keep you safe!
- Your brain tells your ovaries when to release hormones that will cause ovulation to happen!
- Your uterus is an organ and it expands up to 5x its size during pregnancy!
- You have on average 400+ periods in a lifetime! You lose all that blood and you’re still alive! You’re a superhero
