Menstrual cycle review
GnRH turns on FSH
FSH turns on estrogen
Estrogen turns off FSH, turns on LH and causes uterine lining to proliferate
LH surge precedes ovulation
Ovulation causes formation of corpus luteum
Corpus luteum secretes progesterone
Progesterone causes uterine lining to become secretory
Regression of corpus luteum causes drop in progesterone
Low levels of estrogen and progesterone cause uterine lining to shed
