The Menstrual Cycle Explained: Follicles, Phases, and What Your Uterus Is Doing Each Month
The menstrual cycle is more than just a period. It is a monthly reflection of hormone balance, ovulation, and overall health.
In this episode, we break down the follicular and luteal phases of the cycle, explain how follicles develop and decline over time, and explore what estrogen and progesterone are doing in the uterus during the proliferative and secretory phases.
You will learn why ovulation is the central event of the cycle, how the uterus responds to ovarian hormones, and why understanding your cycle can be a powerful tool for fertility awareness and long-term health.
