    The menstrual cycle is the episodic uterine bleeding that occurs in response to cyclic hormonal changes. Its purpose is to bring an ovum to maturity and renew the uterine lining in preparation for potential fertilization and implantation. The cycle is counted from the first day of the last period. Ovulation typically occurs around day 14 but can vary in length. The proliferative phase prepares the lining and triggers ovulation. In the secretory phase, the corpus luteum sustains the lining. Menstruation occurs when the corpus luteum degenerates, lowering progesterone levels.
