Schematic diagram of the menstrual cycle

The top row shows the evolving ovarian histology beginning with follicular development through ovulation to formation and finally degeneration of the corpus luteum. The second row shows changes in body temperature, which peaks during ovulation. The third row shows changes in reproductive hormones: leutenizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, estradiol, and progesterone. The fourth row shows the evolving endometrial histology beginning with menstruation. (Figure by Speck-Made. Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons.
