UNDERSTANDING THE HORMONES IN YOUR BODY
NATURAL HORMONES
Hormones affect every woman in different ways, and we all have them. We don't often directly feel the influence they have on our bodies, but sometimes we do – most notably during puberty when the sex hormones are produced in larger amounts. These hormones, including estrogen and progesterone, enable and influence the menstrual cycle.
Hormones and The Menstrual Cycle
