Three mistakes women makes during periods

Irrespective of your flow, your genes, your cultural background (all determinants of the regularity of your periods) become imperative if you want to plan a family ahead. Thus, here are three common mistakes women make that can be a detterrant towards their hygiene and also if they want to become mothers: 

* Ignoring the color of your blood: The colour of blood changes throughout your menstrual cycle. Bright red one day, and black or pinkish the next. It usually starts out with brown spotting and turns into a bright shade of red.  

* Not Monitoring your cycle: Charting your cycle isn’t just so that you can plan out your pregnancy well. Several conditions can make your periods irregular. In case something goes off, you won’t have to wait a long time before consulting your gynaecologist. 

* Change your pads/tampons twice or thrice daily: Regularly changing your tampons or pads is imperative for maintaining proper hygiene. Changing every six hours is key.
