Answer
1st day of period, FSH and LH are released from brain and travel to ovaries, hormones stimulate growth of 15-20 eggs in each shell called follicle, trigger the production of estrogen, as estrogen levels rise FSH is turned off and limits amount of follicles that will mature, one follicle in one ovary will become dominant suppressing other follicles that die off, this follicle continues to produce estrogen
- ovulatory phase
Answer
starts 14 days after follicular phase has started, is the midpoint of the menstrual cycle, period will 1 / 2
start about 2 weeks later, rise in estrogen level in dominant follicle triggers surge of LH production causing dominant follicle to release egg from ovary, egg is swept up by fimbria into fallopian tubes, increase in mucus produced by cervix which helps capture sperm and helps move it toward the egg for fertilization
- luteal phase

occurs right after ovulation, empty follicle develops into corpus luteum and secretes progesterone, if egg is fertilized, occurs in fallopian tubes, progesterone helps uterus prepare for implantation of fertilized egg, if no implantation uterus sheds lining and causes beginning of next period
