claimThe menstrual cycle is a series of hormonally-induced monthly changes to the female reproductive organs that involves two interacting and overlapping cycles: the ovarian cycle and the uterine cycle.

claimDuring the luteal phase (days 14-28) of the ovarian cycle, the ovarian follicle transforms into a hormone-secreting corpus luteum, which corresponds to the secretory phase of the uterine cycle where the endometrium becomes a nutritionally rich environment for implantation.
claimIf no ovum is fertilized, the endometrial lining is shed, signifying the beginning of menses, the first phase of the uterine cycle.
claimThe uterine cycle consists of three phases: menses, proliferative, and secretory, which act to prepare the uterus for potential fertilization and pregnancy.
