0 an occasion when a woman menstruates: --
her daughter's first menses
From introduction of food supplements to resumption of menses or weaning.
Rates of initiation are unusually high at and immediately following the resumption of menses, strongly suggesting that this is an important stimulus to adopting a contraceptive method.
At the time of the study, all had normal regular menses and had been drug-free for >6 weeks ; none of them had taken fluoxetine in the past.
The thick ver tical dashed lines in each panel represent the star t of menses.
After they introduced supplements, the frequent nursers did not resume menses promptly, but infrequent nursers did.
While initiation of pill use might lead to the reporting of the return of menses, other methods would not.
In some study groups the period investigated was restricted to 1 year since breast feeding was of short duration and the return of menses rapid.
In this model, retrograded menses causes inflammation in the pelvic cavity and the recruitment of macrophages and other immune cells.
