Periods. Menstruation. "That time of the month." Whatever you call it, periods are a big part of puberty for people with ovaries — and it's important for everyone to understand how they work. But what exactly is happening inside your body when you get a period? And how can you prepare for your first one? In this episode, we're following an egg on its journey from the ovaries to the uterus, learning why period blood looks different from the blood you'd see when you get a scrape, and getting practical tips — like how to build a period kit so you're ready whenever it shows up. Plus, sex educator Nora Gelperin from Advocates for Youth answers common questions about cramps, PMS, and more. Want to support the show?
