Day 1-7: Menstruation

Day 14: Ovulation

Post-ovulation

Day 15-28: Follicle turns into yellow body

- No fertilisation: Yellow body and egg cell dissolve, new menstruation.

- Fertilisation: Egg cell moves to uterus to implant.

Hormones make menstruation happen

Pre-ovulation

- Oestrogen

- FSH

Post-ovulation

- LH

- Progesterone

What does every hormone do in order to make the menstrual cycle happen? Combine the right answers!

Oestrogen

Progesterone

FSH

LH

 Maintains lining of the womb - suppresses FSH production in the pituitary gland.

Triggers ovulation and progesterone production in ovaries.

Triggers the ripening of the egg cells and oestrogen production in the ovaries.

Stimulates the production of LH and suppresses the production of FSH in the pituitary gland.
