What are hormones actually in relations to Gals and periods?
Answer:
Primarily:
follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) --> makes eggs mature
lutenizing hormone (LH) --> when the eggs are mature, makes the follicle rupture, so that eggs are released
Estrogens (Estradiol, E2)--> makes cervical mucus get thinner and less acid, so that sperms can swim through it
Progesterone --> is produced after releasing the egg. It makes the womb walls thicken to prepare them for a pregnancy. When no pregnancy is detected, production of progesterone stops and a period starts.
If a girl is pregnant she produces Beta-HCG (Beta human chorionic gonadotropin), which is also an hormone.
