For example, it may be indirect age discrimination if an employer requires an older person to meet a physical fitness test â which more young people are able to meet â if the fitness standard is not an inherent requirement of the job.
A menstrual cycle is counted from the first day of bleeding in one month to the first day of bleeding in the next month. The average menstrual cycle is about 28 days, but cycles that are 21â45 days also are normal. It may take 6 years or more after your period starts for your cycle to get regular.
So day one of the menstrual cycle is the first of full bleeding day of the period. A typical cycle is approximately 24 to 35 days (average 28 days for most women). It is not abnormal for a womanÂ¹s cycle to occasionally be shorter or longer. On Day 1 of the menstrual cycle, estrogen and progesterone levels are low. Low levels of estrogen and progesterone signal the pituitary gland to produce Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). FSH begins the process of maturing a follicle (fluid-filled sac in the ovary containing an egg). The follicle produces more estrogen to prepare the uterus for pregnancy.
