The feedback mechanism is an aftereffect or reaction due to a certain stimuli given back by an output. The two examples can be considered feedback mechanisms since they are the aftereffect of a stimulus introduced to the body.

In case of menstrual cycle, hormones are released by anterior pituitary. Target organ is ovary. Ovary secretes the hormones. Target is uterus. If fertilization occurs, then progesterone secretions continue and there are no menses. Here appears to be no feedback mechanism, except when pregnancy takes place. Here biological clock is involved. After ovulation exactly 14 days are required to get the menses. (If you take daily oral temperature, after waking up, there is rise in temperature after ovulation (99 degree Fahrenheit from 98.4 before ovulation.) Only thing in Nature having 28 days cycle is 'Moon'. Incidentally, 10 lunar months are required for delivery to take place.

Why are the interactions of hormones and tissues in the menstrual cycle considered to be feedback mechanisms?

In the menstrual cycle, the initial purpose is to make a follicle (thing in which the egg develops)..FSH or Follicle stimulating hormone initiates the formation of the follicle. LH or Luteinizing hormone assist FSH in the formation of the follicle and to develope its ability to secrete estrogen. As the follicle progresses in its development it begans to secrete estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen passes into the blood and travels to the pititary gland where it turns off the production of FSH. This is an example of negative feedback. The presence of estrogen in the blood sitmulate the production of LH and this would be a positive feedback.
