Lesson Number One
You are governed by a higher being. A system so strong that a nanogram of its secretion yields drastic changes on you. It triggers a cascade of reactions that controls not just your cycle but your entire body. Your clock, you metabolism, your flight mechanisms, your diuresis. What makes you more male, more female, more objective, more emotional. And He does it ever so graceful and in such perfection that in times we question how he does it, and in the long run realize the bigger plan. The bigger picture. Why He did this, and stopped that. Why he tapered this, and dammed that. (Well, excluding Adenomas, which is a different story)
Lesson Number Two
The tug of war between Estrogen and Progesterone is a war that has been fought since female Homo sapiens has ever existed. It is a battle that has shed blood every 28 (+/- 7 days) , and some takes longer, some shorter, some none and some over. You build up walls of endometrium and pride, just to prepare the coming of a Queen Egg that will sit around and wait for a worthy being that will penetrate her walls and complete her haploid emptiness. But the Queen cannot stand there for long, for the walls will erode after a few days and outgrow their blood supplies and ultimately shed away and gets defeated and washed into a river of menstrual chaos. This Estrogen-Progesterone war has been going on to tell us that one sometimes has to give way for the other. They tell us that we must know when to retreat, and when to push more. When to step up and when to taper. The walls we set up are heightened just to protect the Eggs or Egos, and sometimes we have to put them down and just let them flow to where the uterus will lead them. It's actually not a battle, but a Promise. Like the sun has to set for the moon, knowing that tomorrow, there is hope that he will come back and rule once again.
Lesson Number Three
One day, a foreign object will come knocking on the cervix. Wait, not just knock but batter it in thrusts with penetrating persistence. It will send its best warriors to embark on an environment so hostile that almost all the time, everyone dies trying. But come the right timing, and the right moment, and the right amount of serendipity, despite the walls and maze and acidic obstacles, that Warrior will find the Queen she has long been waiting for. And in that chromosomal union, the Higher Being will bless them and sends the best hormones to nurture them. It will be 38 week story of how the Estrogen-Progesterone war will come into peace. Of how the Higher Centers will command all other organs to celebrate. The cervix will be colored, The abdomen will be decorated with a line, the breasts will be robust, the body will exert the best efforts, even if it meant an increase in its demands. All for Life, within a Life.
So long, Gynecology Rotation.
