 The menstrual aeon is a aeon of contest that occurs in the abyss (uterus) and ovaries of changeable mammals. It is associated with the assembly of eggs and advancing the uterus for the article of fertilised eggs. The menstrual aeon occurs over aperiod of about 28 days. The changes during the aeon are due to four hormones, progesterone, oestrogen, FSH (follicle aesthetic hormone) and LH (luteinising hormone). Progesterone and oestrogen accept advanced alignment furnishings on the physique but in the ambience of the menstrual aeon progesterone is mainly complex in advancement the lining of the uterus and oestrogen is mainly anxious with architecture up the lining of the uterus. FSH stimulates the assembly of eggs and LH stimulates the absolution of the egg. FSH and LH are produced by the pituitary gland in the brain.There are four stages in the menstrual cycle.Stage 1.
