The female cycle plays a major role in every woman’s life. Some experience every single phase of their cycle very intensively and others hardly notice the changes that take place inside our body every month.
A cycle normally comprises 28 days and is divided into five different phases:
- the period
- the days after menstruation
- the ovulation
- the time after ovulation
- and then again the days before the period
