    Which hormone is primarily responsible for regulating the menstrual cycle and preparing the uterus for pregnancy? - ProProfs

    Which hormone is primarily responsible for regulating the menstrual cycle and preparing the uterus for pregnancy?

    • Testosterone

    • Insulin

    • Progesterone

    • Adrenaline

    Correct Answer
    A. Progesterone
    Explanation
    Progesterone is a key hormone in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. It is produced in the ovaries following ovulation each month. It helps to regulate the cycle by preparing the uterus for a potential pregnancy after ovulation. Progesterone thickens the lining of the uterus to allow a fertilized egg to implant and helps maintain the endometrium throughout pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, progesterone levels drop, leading to the shedding of the uterine lining, or menstruation.

It typically begins during puberty and continues until menopause, although the specific age at which it starts and ends can vary among individuals.

    Why is it not recommended to have sex a day before actual ovulation? - ProProfs

    Why is it not recommended to have sex a day before actual ovulation?

    • Because the sperm lasts in a woman's body for 3 days.

    • Because it is risky.

    • Because it's not healthy

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Because the sperm lasts in a woman's body for 3 days.
    Explanation
    It is not recommended to have sex a day before actual ovulation because the sperm can survive in a woman's body for up to 3 days. This means that if intercourse occurs close to ovulation, there is a higher chance of fertilization and pregnancy. Having sex a day before ovulation increases the likelihood of the sperm being present and viable when the egg is released. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid intercourse during this time if pregnancy is not desired.

    What is recommended for women with a heavy flow? - ProProfs

    What is recommended for women with a heavy flow?

    • Tampons

    • Night pads.

    • A tampon and a pad

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Night pads.
    Explanation
    Night pads are recommended for women with a heavy flow because they are designed to provide extra absorbency and coverage during the night when the flow is typically heavier. Tampons may not be sufficient on their own for heavy flow, and using both a tampon and a pad can provide added protection and prevent leaks. Therefore, night pads are the best option for women with a heavy flow.

    How long after your periods is it safe to have sex? - ProProfs

    How long after your periods is it safe to have sex?

    • 11 days

    • 10 days

    • 3 days

    • 14 days

    Correct Answer
    A. 11 days
    Explanation
    It is generally safe to have sex 11 days after your periods because this is around the time when ovulation occurs in a regular 28-day menstrual cycle. Ovulation is when an egg is released from the ovary and can be fertilized by sperm. Having sex around this time increases the chances of pregnancy. However, it is important to note that individual menstrual cycles can vary, so it is always best to use additional contraceptive methods or consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
