What Happens During Ovulation and the Menstrual Cycle?

A menstrual cycle is the time period between the first day of your menstrual period (the time you bleed) until the next time you begin your menstrual period.

The changes associated with ovulation and menstrual cycle are brought on by fluctuations in hormones at different times of the month. Most menstrual cycles are 28-29 days long. A variation of a few days more or less can be quite normal as well as small variations from cycle to cycle.

Cycle Day 1 of the menstrual bleeding is referred to as Day 1 of the menstrual cycle. The length of the cycle is measured from Day 1 of one cycle to Day 1 of the next cycle.

Your menstrual cycle length and the day of ovulation are directly related. Your menstrual period begins about 14 days after you ovulate. If ovulation occurs on approximately day 14 of a woman’s cycle then your next period starts about 14 days later and the cycle length is 28 days.

Ovulation occurs when a mature egg is released from the ovary. It is then picked up by the fallopian tube and is available to be fertilized. The lining of the uterus has thickened to prepare for a fertilized egg. If no conception occurs, the uterine lining, as well as blood, will be shed. The shedding of an unfertilized egg and the uterine wall is the menstrual period The menstrual cycle can be divided into the following two parts: the ovarian cycle and the uterine cycle.
