Estrogen and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) are both primary hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle {fact:1, fact:16}. Their relationship is defined by a feedback loop where FSH stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles that produce estrogen {fact:4, fact:18, fact:20}, while rising estrogen levels subsequently act to regulate or decrease the production of FSH {fact:12, fact:17}.

claimThe menstrual cycle is regulated by the hormones follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen, and progesterone.
claimAt the start of the menstrual cycle, low levels of estrogen and progesterone signal the pituitary gland to release follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles.
claimThe follicular phase is driven by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which promotes the growth of ovarian follicles, which in turn release increasing amounts of estrogen.

claimThe follicular phase is primarily characterized by the rise of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estrogen to develop an egg, whereas the luteal phase is characterized by the rise of progesterone to prepare for pregnancy.
claimThe female menstrual cycle relies on Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), estrogen, and progesterone for regularity.
claimThe rise in estrogen during the follicular phase is stimulated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) produced by the pituitary gland, and this estrogen promotes the growth of the uterine lining in preparation for pregnancy.
