The Size of Your Uterus Throughout the Month.

Information is very important to me. It helps me to understand what's happening, and that understanding usually helps me to feel better emotionally, if not physically. To that end, I want to share with you this picture with two life-size models of the human uterus. On the left we see it as it is throughout the month in it's regular size, and on the right we see it during our period. The difference in size is astounding, kind of explains why you might feel "bigger" and "heavier" during your period. The change in size is what is supposed to happen during menstruation, and your uterus will return to it's regular size when your period is over.
