Ischemic phase
Proliferative: starts w/ enlargement of endometrial glands. Blood vessels are dilated and endometrium increases in thickness. Cervical mucus is thin, clear, and stretchy & more alkaline to help sperm.
Secretory: endometrium becomes thicker and more vascular and glandular to prepare for implantation. If no implantation, endometrium undergoes involution
Ischemic: if fertilization doesn’t occur, estrogen & progesterone levels drop sharply and corpus luteum degenerates. There is ischemia which leads to the shedding of the endometrium down to the basal layer- menstrual flow begins.
