- Menstrual cycle
- Four stages
- Day 1 is when the bleeding starts.
The uterus lining breaks down for
about four days
- The lining of the uterus builds up
again from day 4 to 14 into a thick
spongy layer full of blood vessels,
ready to receive a fertilised egg
- An egg is released from
the ovary at day 14
- The wall is then maintained for about 14
days, until day 28. If no fertilised egg has
landed on the uterus wall by day 28 the
spongy lining starts to break down again
and the whole cycle starts again

days, until day 28. If no fertilised egg has

- Produced by the pituitary gland
- Stimulates the release of an
egg at around the middle of the
menstrual cycle
- Produced by the pituitary gland
- Oestrogen
