The menstrual cycle involves rhythmical changes in the ovaries and uterus that prepare the female for pregnancy. The cycle lasts an average of 28 days. It is regulated by four hormones—follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogens and progesterone.

The first day of menstruation marks the first day of the menstrual cycle. It begins with the shedding of the uterine endometrium. The tiny capillaries of the endometrium rupture and blood together with dead endometrial cells is discharged through the vagina. Then a follicle with an egg cell inside it gradually matures in the ovary. The uterine endometrium begins to build up again. It gradually becomes thicker and softer.
