    • Cycle durations range from 20-45 days, with 28 days being the average

    Hormonal Regulation of the Female Reproductive Cycle

    • Key Hormones:
      • Estrogen: Stimulates growth of the uterine lining and development of secondary sexual characteristics
      • Progesterone: Maintains the uterine lining for pregnancy
      • Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Stimulates follicle development
      • Luteinizing Hormone (LH): Triggers ovulation and corpus luteum formation

    The Ovarian Cycle

    • Follicular Phase: Development of follicles in the ovaries
      • Period during which an ovum matures
      • Begins with the first day of menstruation
      • Ends approximately 14 days later in a 28-day cycle
    • Ovulation: Mid-cycle release of the mature ovum
      • Approximately 2 days before ovulation, LH secretion rises markedly
      • FSH secretion also rises, but less so than LH
      • LH and FSH surges cause a fall in follicular estrogen production and a rise in progesterone secretion
      • This stimulates final maturation of a single follicle and release of its ovum
    • Luteal Phase: Formation of the corpus luteum, which secretes hormones to maintain the uterine lining
      • After ovulation, under the influence of LH, the remaining cells of the old follicle persist for approximately 12 days as a corpus luteum
      • The corpus luteum produces progesterone and estrogen
