Q

The female cycle;

Day 6-14

A

Proliferative
Uterine- “3 line sign” estrogen causes proliferative endometrium
Pituitary- LH
Ovulation (day 14)
Ovarian- corpus luteum makes progesterone to maintain thick endometrium for fertilized egg - (if NO hcg- corpus luteum resolves in 14days = back to day one)
