The menstrual cycle is the biological process that governs the maturation and release of an ovum, as evidenced by the cycle's ovulation phase where an ovary releases an egg {fact:1, fact:3, fact:8}. The cycle provides the hormonal environment and timing necessary for the ovum to travel through the fallopian tubes toward the uterus {fact:2, fact:4, fact:13}.

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.
