Personally, I don't see the point in cycling our hormone levels at all since we don't have female reproductive organs. The normal menstrual cycle exists solely to allow the lining of the uterus to build up to accept implantation of a fertilized egg, and if that doesn't happen the lining must be shed (during a woman's period.) Since this cannot happen for us, what is the point of mimicking that cycle?

I think the logical behind mimicking the cycle is that the hormone fluctuations doesn't just affect female reproductive organs, but also breast development during the pubescent years. If I recall correctly, some women have said their breasts become more sensitive when they're menstruating. I think some members have reported getting growth spurts when they adjust their estrogen levels in conjunction with their progesterone levels.
