5 Myths About Your Cycle: Debunked!

Understanding your menstrual cycle is crucial for managing your health, but it's often surrounded by myths and misconceptions. These myths can lead to confusion and unnecessary worry. Let’s set the record straight on some common myths and empower you with the facts:


1. Myth: Every Woman Has a 28-Day Cycle

Fact: The 28-day cycle is just an average. Your cycle might range from 21 to 35 days if you're an adult, and 21 to 45 days for teens. The key is consistency, not sticking to a specific number of days.


2. Myth: You Can Get Pregnant During Your Whole Cycle

Fact: Timing is everything when it comes to pregnancy. You’re most fertile in the days leading up to and including ovulation. Once ovulation is over (usually within a day), the chance of pregnancy drops until your next cycle begins.

3. Myth: PMS is All in Your Head

Fact: PMS is very real and can impact both your physical and emotional health. Bloating, mood swings, and fatigue are common symptoms driven by hormonal changes that many women experience.

4. Myth: Irregular Periods Mean You’re Infertile

Fact: Irregular periods can signal health issues, but they don’t automatically mean infertility. Stress, diet, exercise, and more can affect your cycle. If you're worried, a healthcare provider can offer guidance and answers.

5. Myth: You Should Avoid Exercise During Your Period

Fact: Exercise can be a great ally during your period. Activities like yoga, walking, or swimming can ease cramps and lift your mood and energy levels.
