At the end of the lesson the students are
expected to:

1. explain the important events that happen

in each stage of the menstrual cycle;
2. reflect about the natural changes that
occur in the ovary and the uterus as
essential part of sexual reproduction;
3. mark the calendar with the day-to-day
changes in the menstrual cycle.
The first menstruation called a
menarche is related to their holistic
health. This is the reason why there
are differences of menarche in terms
of age, some will have their first
menstruation at age 10 some are at 15.
The intensity also of pain during their
dysmenorrhea/menstrual cramps
depends in their healthy lifestyle. So
students should maintain a balanced
and healthy lifestyle.

Stages of the Menstrual Cycle:

1. Menstruation
2. Proliferative
3. Ovulation
4. Luteinizing

Stages of the Menstrual Cycle:

1. The pituitary gland

controls and starts the cycle.

Stages of the Menstrual Cycle:

2. The pituitary gland releases hormones

that cause the egg in the ovary to mature. The
luteinizing hormone (LH) initiates that maturation
of the follicles, converts ruptured follicles into
corpus luteum and causes the secretion of
progesterone. The follicle stimulating hormone
(FSH) assists in the maturation of the follicles and
causes the secretion of estrogen from the follicles.

Stages of the Menstrual Cycle:

3. Meanwhile, the ovary itself

releases a hormone called estrogen,
which causes the uterine lining to
increase in thickness. The uterine
lining becomes thicker so that the
fertilized egg can attach to it.

Stages of the Menstrual Cycle:

4. The ovary releases an

egg on day 14. Assume that
no sperm is present.

Stages of the Menstrual Cycle:

5. The egg moves

through the oviduct and
enters the uterus.

Stages of the Menstrual Cycle:

6. Meanwhile, the
uterine lining continues to
thicken.

Stages of the Menstrual Cycle:

7. The egg has not been

fertilized, therefore, it
will not attach to the
uterus.

Stages of the Menstrual Cycle:

8. The thick uterine lining is

no longer necessary, so the cells of
the thickened uterine lining break
off and leave the vagina. The
unfertilized egg is lost and some
blood is lost too. This loss of cells
from the uterine lining, blood, and
egg is called menstruation.

Stages of the Menstrual Cycle:

9. After menstruation, the cycle

starts again.

 Draw a wheel and divide it into 28 as the
average days of the menstrual cycle and Label
the wheel with the correct stages of the
menstrual cycle correspondent to the number
of days for each stage.
I. True or False

Directions: Write TRUE if the statement is

correct and FALSE if it is incorrect.

1. On average, an ovary releases only one egg

every 28 days.

2. Hormones control the many changes in the

reproductive system including the menstrual
cycle.

3. Menstrual cycle happens every two months

from the first onset of menstruation.

4. Menstrual cramps are the results of the

strong contractions of the uterine wall that
occur after menstruation.

5. The pituitary gland controls and starts the

menstrual cycle.
