Female Physiology

Ovarian Cycle 28 days The cycle in which an oocyte matures, erupts from the ovary, and then travels down the oviduct. If not fertilized the process repeats all over again.

Follicular Phase Follicles in the ovary mature

Ovulation ovarian follicle ruptures and discharges an ovum (gamete)

Luteal Phase Forms corpus luteum which produces progestogens (required during pregnancy.

Ovarian/Menstrual Tutorial

Menstrual Cycle If implantation does not occur the corpus luteum will die, dropping progesterone and estrogen hormones causing the uterus to shed its lining

Menstruation Days 1-5 “period” Shedding of blood or endometrium lining. Low on iron

Preovuiatory Days 6-14 Wall of endometrium begins to thicken.

Postovulatory Days progesterone produced by ovaries Builds up endometrium wall Protects wall
