It links hormones—FSH, estrogen, LH, and progesterone—to key stages: menstruation, the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase. Readers identify typical symptoms and uterine changes, including lining thickening and breakdown if fertilization does not occur. Mapping tasks guide students to chart hormone trends, body changes, and approximate day ranges, using diagram interpretation to correct mislabeled functions.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/","Template",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/presentations/","Presentations",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/the-menstrual-cycle-a-look-at-the-phases-of-the-menstrual-cycle-and-the-roles-of-hormones/218635/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-menstrual-cycle-a-look-at-the-phases-of-the-menstrual-cycle-and-the-roles-of-hormones/218635.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Theodore","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation","2026-10-18","2026-09-08",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",7,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What is the menstrual cycle and how long is it?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"The menstrual cycle is an approximately 28-day cycle involving changes in the female body to prepare for a possible pregnancy.

The uterine lining thickens and an egg starts to mature.\nEstrogen levels rise during the mid-follicular phase.\nDAYS 6-13\nOvulation\nThe ovary releases the egg, which travels through the fallopian tube to the uterus.\nThis is the time when pregnancy is most likely.\nEstrogen drops quickly after ovulation.\nDAYS 14\nThe luteal phase\nThe mature egg travels through the oviduct towards the uterus. There is also an increase in the progesterone level during this stage to maintain uterine lining.\nIf the egg isn’t fertilized, the lining breaks down and the cycle starts again.\nDAYS 15-28\nA recap\nThe cycle has four phases: menstruation, follicular, ovulation, and luteal.\nEach phase has different hormone levels and involves specific body changes.\nOvulation usually happens around day 14. This is when pregnancy is most likely.\nKeeping track of the cycle helps reveal patterns in hormone levels and body changes.\nMapping the Menstrual Cycle\nCreate a 28-day cycle chart and label the four phases.
