Question
Chapter 36.3, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The effect of estradiol and progesterone on ovulation if a woman starts taking it after the start of a new menstrual cycle.
Introduction:
The menstrual cycle involves the change to in the female reproductive to make it able to conceive a child. The cycle produces oocytes, and prepare the uterus for the pregnancy.

Which hormones are present in largest concentration just before ovulation? During which part of the menstrual cycle is the endometrium most prepared to receive an embryo? Which hormones stimulate thickening of the endometrium? Gonadotropic hormones and ovarian hormones regulate the monthly sequence of events that take place within the ovary and uterus. The preovulatory phase begins with menstruation; the postovulatory phase begins after ovulation. Figure 50-14 Endocrine regulation of the menstrual cycle When fertilization does not occur, the menstrual cycle repeats about every 28 days.
