This keep happening every month, and any month the girl/woman has sexual intercourse with a man during ovulation, pregnancy will occur, but when not, you will still shed the tissues off as period So if one is menstruating for the first year, the period may not be regular, it may sometimes cease for 2-3months, then reappears.
