For ages, much folklore considers that a woman on her period was ‘impure’. This is complete bunk, obviously but even today that belief stick around along with numerous other unhelpful hearsay’s and myths.

Menstrual cycle varies from woman to woman and from cycle to cycle. Specifically, when a girl just begins to menstruate. Other reasons for irregular periods are fatigue, lack of sleep, arduous exercise, dietary changes, weight gain or commonly PCOS.
If You Skip a Period You are Pregnant:
There are many reasons that can delay your periods. A delay in your period doesn’t inevitably mean you are pregnant. Your period could be postponed due to mental anxieties, weight gain or a change in your hormones could drastically late your periods. But if you have had sex and have missed your periods then you should take a pregnancy test with pregnancy test strips.
You Could Get Weaker As You Loss Blood:
