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

IGCSE hater!:

shafiq_92libra:

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