The 28th of each month

The famous day 28 of the menstrual cycle is usually a moment of bad humor for us women, but this bad mood have a l explanation.

It turns out that the menstrual cycle usually has 28 days,but on  day 14 progesterone begins to rise with ovulation. But what is progesterone? Progesterone is one of the two main female hormones. As its name implies, progesterone prepares ("pro") the womb for pregnancy (gestation).

Not all days we have the same hormones. During ovulation, the hormones are higher in menstruation and they back down. Three to seven days before the “day” of menstruation take place a series of hormonal fluctuations that affect the mood of women.

Common symptoms include irritability, anxiety, depression, sadness and insomnia. The sensitivity is more acute and the reactions are more extreme.

This brief introduction is only to male sector to understand a little what is  all this swirl of emotions that most who have a girlfriend, husband, wife, sisters, daughters, friends, it is up to "suffer" but hardly anyone understands, only a "She'll be ok", "let her alone", "she is in days ..." (The last one is used on me).

I talked to one of my friends about this, the coincidences are too many, especially the “support” of men when we have to go through those days.

Is not limited to leave us alone or actually listen without hearing. They say we are very difficult to understand, but I did not realize that there is much to understand, the mood swings are regularly arranged with a hug, say “I love you”  or be aware of us these days, do not take lightly .

It is hard to explain how we can go from laughter to tears, faster than a Jaguar reaches 100 km / hr. An inappropriate comment makes us angry in the extreme and wants to take to the guillotine the one who said that. How can we may need that someone close to us.

Anecdotes are thousands, from the most simple as watching a romantic movie and cry, especially Titanic, remember when Jack dies ...? to explosive anger, as when they were getting late for us from work, my friend was waiting over an hour (she was anxious to get home ´cause she started to suffer cramps) and her husband did not appear, so she took a cab, got home, put on a pajamas, went to bedroom and the husband did not touch his bed in a week.

Personally, there was a time where complaining about my humor was month to month, he stop talking to me, and says whatever just to complete the phrase “she´s in those days” . Many times I expected another type of reaction, but there was none and that caused many tears. Even right now I remember and let ran out. Another one of my friends, who have those flashes of wisdom once told me: "Do not expect anything else, what comes to you receive it gratefully, because you don’t  expect it", so that was an advice to be applied to avoid anger and more tears.

Since then I think "these days" are a little more controlled, or at least visible symptoms arise only time to time.

After all, we are women, feel and live as women, difficult to understand for many, but easy to love. If you think that these days makes us monsters, then you should learn to hug monsters.
