chromosomal female reproductive cycle

No fertilization occurred
Ischemic Phase

ODOR
similar to marigolds
It moves the uterus → blastocyst (attaches to endometrium called
IMPLANTATION
The release of the estrogen and progesterone) thickens the endometrium, while the blastocyst grows and develops into a
baby
