Menstrual Health Quiz-What’s Your Uterus Telling You?

by | Sep 20, 2016 | Happy Uterus | 11 comments

Test Your Basic Menstrual Cycle Knowledge

This quiz is important, not just to test your knowledge, but it’s a quick way to learn new vital information about your body (I share the correct answers with a short explanation at the end of the quiz).

So, test your knowledge and find out what your uterus may be telling you. The quiz has 23 points available with 12 questions total (obviously, it’s just a small sampling of what we should know about our bodies). So far, the average score has been 14 out of 23! Honestly, I didn’t know 75% of this stuff until I was around age 30! For the first decade of menstruating, I thought I was abnormal, gross, and cursed! Most of the information on this quiz is stuff we should have learned as a 13-year-old! Let’s normalize the conversation and demystify the female hormonal cycle! Please share the quiz with your friends.
Note: Some questions may have more than one answer. You get a point for each correct answer.

1. A menstrual cycle should be 28 days to be considered normal.

 
 

2. A menstrual cycle that is delayed over 35 days may mean:

    I liked the quiz, unfortunately I have terrible horrible painful periods that can stop me in my tracks and my life gets put on hold, i can’t work or do certain things considered normal. I have to plan things ahead of time so my period doesn’t interfere, but there’s certain things you can’t plan and I’ve missed out on weddings and other special occasions. It affects my marriage my kids and everyone close to me, I’ve learned to live with it because doctors don’t give me answers except “hysterectomy”. Natural remedies and supplements have helped a little but I still turn to pain meds for relief. Thanks for all the helpful info I appreciate it.

    I’m so sorry to hear you have such horrible periods! Have you had an endometriosis diagnosis? Have you tried abdominal massage?

    Is high levels of estrogen a good thing? It’s says swollen breasts, and a few others are a sign of excess estrogen, and I was wondering if that’s a good thing?

    I’m sorry, I have another question.. Nichole Jardim posted a page with helpful information about a period starting and stopping. A part says it could be due to the uterus being in a flexed position.. Me personally, my period starting and stopping hasn’t just happened once; every few months or so my period will stop and start within 24 hours… And I was wondering if this is from a flexed uterus, and if so, can the frequency of the uterus being in a flexed position every few months or so, do harm after an amount of time?
    I am asking you because Nichole Jardim referenced you on her page, and I thought you may be able to help…

    Okay. No, I do not live in Portland OR, so Skype is a good possibility if I have more questions. Thank you very much for your help Barbara 🙂
