claimIf pregnancy does not occur, the corpus luteum breaks down, leading to a decrease in estrogen and progesterone levels, which initiates the start of a new menstrual cycle.
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.
claimDuring the follicular phase, estrogen thickens the uterine lining in preparation for pregnancy and influences physical and emotional health.
claimBefore a menstrual period begins, progesterone and estrogen levels rise to prepare the uterine lining; if pregnancy does not occur, these hormones drop sharply, which can cause premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms.
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.

procedureThe menstrual cycle proceeds in five steps: (1) The pituitary gland produces FSH, which signals the ovaries to produce estrogen. (2) When estrogen reaches a specific level for a set duration, the pituitary gland produces LH. (3) LH triggers ovulation, causing the ovary to release an egg into the fallopian tube. (4) The ovary produces progesterone to prepare the uterus for pregnancy. (5) If conception does not occur, hormone levels drop, the menstrual lining stops developing, and the lining is shed as a menstrual period.
