    The menstrual cycle typically lasts 28 days and involves changes in the lining of the uterus and the ripening and release of an egg. During the first half of the cycle, the lining of the uterus thickens in preparation for a potential pregnancy while an egg ripens. Around day 14, ovulation occurs and the ripe egg is released. If the egg is not fertilized during its journey down the fallopian tube, the uterine lining will be shed through menstruation and the cycle will begin again.
