If the sperm is injected into the vagina 3 days before ovulation, the egg could get fertilized after 3 days. So take that date as the 10th.
Now if ovulation occurs on the 15th, the ovum survives for 2 days, thats till the 17th, so the egg could get fertilized.
So the 10th to the 17th. Thats 7 days.

can someone please help me with the menstrual cycle?

Not tooo compicated..

0-4 days- lining breaks down (the bleeding)
4-13 days- uterus lining is built up again
13-28- uterus lining is maintained-awaiting embeddment of zygote

The days are different for everyone- but thats an approximate count.

Now, the hormones.
Oestogen- is to encourage the repair of the uterus lining
progesterone- maintains the lining

FSH and LH (dont know if u have to know it- but oh well)
Follicle Stimuating hormone + luteinizing hormone- to make the ovum

Hope it Helped!
oh and ovulation (when the little egg is realeased-) happens about the 13th day- when the uterus lining is built up

because the progestrone tricks the boidy into thinking that fertilisation has taken place so no oestrogen is produced so no fertilisation is produced

Feflex actions happen without the intervention of the brain!
Example-when pupil constricts on bright light
When u touch a hot plate.....u would remove ur hhands immediately without thinking!
It's a very fast response!
