1 Days 1-5 Menstruation Menstruation occurs and the lining of the uterus, with a small amount of blood, leaves the body. At this time another egg is maturing in the ovary.

2 Days 6-15 After Menstruation  The lining of the uterus repairs itself and once again prepares for a fertilized egg, Around days 13-15 an egg is released from the ovary. This is called Ovulation.

3 Days 16-28 Before Menstruation  If the egg is fertilized by the male sperm cell, it embeds itself in the wall of the uterus. If the egg is not fertilized, the blood vessels in the wall of the uterus shrink and break down. Then menstruation begins again.

4 Female Menstrual Cycle  Ovulation = Day 14  Egg only can live for 24-36 hours after ovulation  Sperm can survive up to 5 days  Fertilization must take place in the fallopian tube
