Ovulation period: The next stage is the ovulation phase which starts from the 12th day of the menstrual cycle. In this phase, the Follicle releases the mature egg which moves towards the fallopian tube. This is the most fertile period and the possibility of pregnancy increases in this phase. The body of a woman produces estrogen, gonadotropin-releasing hormone, FSH and luteinizing hormone – everything required to set the stage for the egg to meet the sperm. A mature egg has a lifespan of 1 day and if no sperm comes in contact with the egg, it will die.

Luteal Phase: The Luteal phase is responsible to maintain the eggs if they have met the sperms. During this stage, the eggs remain in the ovary. The progesterone makes the uterus wall thicker. If pregnancy does not happen, the follicle dies stopping the production of progesterone. This will start the shedding of the uterus lining, which is periods.
