Question

Menstrual cycles stop at the time of pregnancy. The reason for this is the continued presence of the hormone

Answer 1

progesterone. During pregnancy, the body produces high levels of progesterone, which helps to maintain the uterine lining and support the growing fetus. This hormone also inhibits the release of eggs from the ovaries and prevents the shedding of the uterine lining, leading to the cessation of menstrual cycles. This is nature's way of ensuring that the body can focus on supporting the developing pregnancy without the interruption of menstruation.
