Your Menstrual Cycle: A Monthly Report Card on Your Health

 Moms, let's be real… we keep track of school schedules, soccer games, snacks, and dentist appointments but how often do we really check in on our own health?

I came across this article from Atrium Health Women's Care that really hit home: "Your Menstrual Cycle: A Monthly Report Card on Your Health."

Dr. Nita Desai, an Atrium Health OB/GYNgynecologist, shares how our periods are more than just "that time of the month." They can actually tell us so much about what's happening inside our bodies, whether everything's running smoothly or if something needs attention.

As a busy mom, I know it's easy to brush off cramps, irregular cycles, or fatigue because… who has the time? But reading this reminded me that those little signs matter. It's like our body's way of waving a red flag and saying, "Hey, don't ignore me!"

If you've ever wondered what's "normal" (and what's not) when it comes to your cycle or you just want to feel more in tune with your health, this is a must-read.
