    This document summarizes the key events of the human female reproductive cycle. It begins with the follicular phase where follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) causes follicles to mature. Near day 14, a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH) triggers ovulation of a single egg. Following ovulation is the luteal phase where the ruptured follicle develops into the corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone and estrogen to prepare the uterus in case of fertilization and implantation. If implantation does not occur, progesterone and estrogen levels drop, causing menstruation and restarting the cycle.
