Prior to puberty girls and boys are fairly similar, if they are the same height and build they will have similar strength. As puberty hits both sexes get an increase in sex hormones - boys get more testosterone and girls get a whole heap of hormones, oestrogen being the one that we talk most about but also progesterone, folicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone play a delicate and intricate balance.
Eventually, the hormones become cyclical and a womans fertile
period begins. Each cycle of approx. 28 days sees varying degrees
of these hormones in a monthly dance.
Remember the anger, the despair the fear during puberty? The difficulty finding your place in your class, your home and then at work. It was bewildering and sometimes unpredictable. Thats just what is happening now. Our hormones are no longer in sync, we can't say when or how we will feel. And it's scary. But it is temporary.
