•  - endometrium and egg shedded

• - development of follicles in ovary
• - estrogen produced thickening of endometrium 
• - day 6-13

• Eggg burst from ovary 
• follicular cells turn into corpus lutenum 
• day 14

• - oocyte leaves the ovary into fallopian tube 
• - estrogen levels decline 
• - corpus lutenm forms 
• - produces progesterone that thickens the endrometrium
