Question 1

at which points in the menstrual cycle do women become bloated and why?

Accepted Answer

Just before menses: The week just before the period is due is when Progesterone and estrogen are at their peaks causing bloating. About 2 to 3 days prior to the flow those hormone levels drop and with the bleeding so does the bloating.

Question 2

at what phase in the menstrual cycle is a woman more likely to become emotionally attached to someone?

Accepted Answer

Too many variables: The psychological dynamics of interpersonal attachment is so complex that 4 million rather than 400 characters would not suffice.  Emotional attachment may be influenced to some degree by hormonal changes, but over the long term this will play a minor role.  If you are having problems of this nature suggest you see a clinical psychologist.

Question 5

define menstrual cycle in detail?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal bleeding: The menstrual cycle is monthly vaginal bleeding which occurs when the woman is fertile and ovulates (produces an egg, which takes about 2 weeks) but does NOT then get pregnant.  The uterine lining will build up for a couple of weeks to prepare for a possible pregnancy.  This will shed away in the form of bleeding when pregnancy has not occurred and then the process will start all over again.

Question 6

no menstrual cycle for two months?

Accepted Answer

At 48 okay: At 48 it's normal to have some increased fluxuations in your cycle.  The average age of menopause is 51, so you're getting closer. Many women in late 40's begin to miss periods.  If you're not too heavy or too thin, and you don't have a thyroid disorder then i wouldn't worry.  Of course, pregnancy needs to be ruled out (i know, i know!), but that's highly unlikely. Hope that helps.
