During the follicular phase of the lining of the uterine endometrium - thickens as a result of gradual increases in the blood levels of estrogen. Under the influence of follicle-stimulating hormone by the pituitary gland in the ovary are maturing follicles.

From the entire mass of follicles only one - two become dominant, while the rest will atrophy and die. Of the dominant follicle after ovulation (when the follicle bursts) enters the egg. Note, note that the egg is fertilized by sperm, is called zygote. Within 1 - 2 weeks it goes to a fallopian tube to the uterus. If, on the day of ovulation, the egg is not fertilized, it dies. After ovulation, the remnants of the follicle become a yellow body. Its function is the production of progesterone. Under the influence of this hormone in the mucous membrane of the uterus changes, preparing her for the implantation of the embryo - occurrence of pregnancy.

If in the course of two weeks is not an implant, a yellow body dissolves, as a result of which the body is sharply reduced level as progesterone, and estrogen. This leads to exfoliation the mucous membrane of the uterus - is menstruation.
