Puberty signs and stages for girls

Understanding the hormonal phases of your menstrual cycle

It’s day one of your menstrual cycle and you’re so tired that even the idea of getting out of bed has you hitting the snooze button. Only 2 weeks later, your mood has lifted and life doesn’t seem all that bad. Sound familiar? Welcome to the hectic world of hormones.

Let’s talk about boobs and nipples

They bounce around, grow, shrink, swell, change colour, suddenly become pointy and sometimes feel sore. Boobs and nipples are wonderful parts of our body and it's time we openly talk about them! Let’s take a further look at their connection to our menstrual cycle and other causes for their changes.

Around the time your periods start, your body goes through a whole load of changes. Collectively, these are known as puberty.
