discharge of bloody fluid containing disintegrated endometrial cells, glandular secretions, and blood cells

Endometrium begins to repair itself, maturing follicle in the ovary releases estrogen which aids in repair, and the ovum grows in the follicle

follicle ruptures and the egg leaves the ovary and passes through the fallopian tube

Empty follicle fills with yellow material and becomes corpus luteum, the corpus luteum secretes progesterone into the bloodstream to stimulate the building of the lining of the uterus in anticipation of fertilization of the egg. No fertilization causes the corpus luteum to stop producing progesterone and regress. After 2 days of decrease in hormones, the uterine endometrium breaks down and menstrual period begins again.

uterine endometrium

Fertilized egg travels from fallopian tube to the uterus and implants in the uterine endometrium. The corpus luteum continues to produce progesterone and estrogen to support the vascular and glandular development of the uterine lining

maternal endometrium and the chorion

GnRH leads to an upsurge of FSH and LH. FSH and LH stimulate maturation of the ovum and ovulation. After ovulation, LH influences maintenance of the corpus luteum and its production of estrogen and progesterone

High levels of estrogen and progesterone cause FSH and LH to stop being released.
