A woman's uterus prepares itself for pregnancy every month by creating a lining of tissue on the inside of the uterus. This lining is essentially a cushion for the fertilized egg to attach to. Your ovaries, which lie above the uterus produce fertile eggs and release one (or more) each month. If there is no fertilized egg, our bodies expel that lining.

your period is caused by hormones.
every month the uterine lining builds up in preparation for a fertilized egg. every month an egg is released. when the egg is not fertilized because you do not get pregnant, the egg and the built up uterine lining shed since they are not needed. the shedding of the lining is your period.
