    The document summarizes the menstrual cycle in women, describing the menstrual, follicular, ovulation, and luteal phases. In the menstrual phase, low estrogen and progesterone cause menstrual bleeding. In the follicular phase, an egg matures in a follicle. During ovulation, the LH surge causes the follicle to rupture and release an egg. If fertilized, the egg implants in the uterus; if not, it dies. In the luteal phase, the corpus luteum produces progesterone to prepare the uterus for potential pregnancy.
