I am a fifth year medical student,
and I HAVE NEVER got an explanation of the menstrual cycle during the past 5 years as easy, clear and perfect as this one in the video

[iloveu]

How is it fair that you're supremely smart but also a great artist?! 
Being good at art is so useful in med school haha, that's why I am screwed!
Such amazing videos, you beat all my lecturers put together in terms of articulating complex material into actual English!

My biology teacher is a BOARD EXAMINER FOR BIOLOGY and SHE RECOMMENDED your video to our ENTIRE GRADE. She even posted it on google classroom. You're amazing, doc. Keep up the excellent work.

This is the first explanation of the menstrual cycle that ever made sense to me. You saved my final exam. Thank you

[loords]

The effort you put up in all your videos is PRICELESS!
You're THE most AWESOME of all the Awesomes.
You're just overflowing with Awesomeness!

Just a minor correction, progesterone doesn't cause endometrial growth (that's the role of estrogen during the follicular/proliferative phase). Rather, it causes increase secretory activity of endometrial glands, resulting in increased mucus secretions preventing further sperm from penetration (explaining why the time for fertilization is 12-24 hours post ovulation - before progesterone increases and thus secretory activity increases). Progesterone is also responsible for maintaining the endometrium that proliferated during the follicular phase due to estrogen. Good video.

Absolutely amazing! I walked out of a 2 hour lecture today, baffled by everything the lecturer had said. Meanwhile, you have just given me the clearest understanding of this process in 15 minutes!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Out of a lot the the medical education videos online, I find yours better because of the way you enunciate your words. It feels like your actually talking to us. As compared to most other videos they sound like robots talking at us. Thanks for the high quality free content you provide us.

Armando. Having lived for over 50 years now I've never seen such marvelous instructive and well-produced tutorial on the subject matter. Congrats. As a guy with Master degree in motor rehabilitation I myself have taken advantage of your videos and refreshed my mind a little bit on some aspects of medicine I haven't majored in. Cheers, and keep it up !!!!

I'm a medical student. And you're my definition of saviour. Thank you so much!

I'm a psych major. This video is quite excellent at explaining the menstrual cycle. In particular, it explains so clearly the roles that GRH, FSH and LH play. Before watching this video, I was trying to understand the menstrual cycle by reading the textbook. Frankly, I got lost pretty easily. This video makes it easier to understand AND retain. Thanks.

This was so straightforward. You know they never explain to girls in school what Is happening to our body our whole lives on a horomonal level. That's why I went searching and I found this. Really easy to understand. Thank you!!!!

This was part of grade 12 biology, I killed this shit in grade 12. Now I'm in university, about to write a physiology exam and thinking to myself how the fuck did I understand this shit last year?

[ryanbrunner]

You are a world class educator and I appreciate you and your videos
-A grateful second year medical student

Thank you for all of your time and effort, you really are an amazing person for helping so many students!

[pink]

Have I ever mentioned how greatly your videos has helped to understand biology especially during my physiology semester. Thank you so much! 😊😊

Fifth year med student here. This video helped me SO MUCH through my college physiology course and now it's still helping me as a medical intern. Thank you Armando!
