Phase 1: Menstrual Phase. Shedding of the unused uterine lining from pregnancy/ fertilization not occurring. Flow is typically 5-7 days. After menstruation stops, preparation for reproduction begins again. Phase 2: Post Menstrual Phase. This is a resting stage since endometrium and uterine lining is thin. Low levels of estrogen and progesterone signal the pituitary to send large amounts of FSH to the ovaries that cause the one egg to mature. Phase 3: Intermenstrual phase: Ovaries release a hormone estrogen that causes endometrium to thicken. Matured egg breaks from the sac and leaves the ovary. This is called Ovulation pregnancy can now occur by male sperms cells swim to fallopian tubes. Phase 4: Premenstural phase. Hormones used to thicken walls. If not fertilized shedding occurs and repeat process. From this point on, till about day 26 or 27 the ovum may accept the sperm in introduced to system, resulting in pregnancy.
