I saw a really good analogy for it on Reddit that helped me understand. Imagine a woman’s body like building a house. Once a month it builds a house. If no one comes to stay in that house, they tear it down (menstruation)

If someone comes to stay in that house, the house stays up with the person in there. When someone asks you how long that house has been up, would you say since someone has been there? No you would start from when it was built ..

Something like that, I may have botched it lol
