The proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle is the phase following ovulation and before menstruation. During this phase the uterine lining develops in order to support the growth of the embryo if the woman falls pregnant.

You have the proliferative phase before the ovulation. After the ovulation you get the secretary phase. Here the glands becomes tortuous. The uterine lining becomes thick. This happens under the influence of both oestrogen and progesterone hormones.
During the proliferative phase, estradiol causes the endometrium to grow and menstrual bleeding to stop. It coincides with the follicular phase of egg development.

There are really two phases, because ovulation is so brief. There is the preovulatory phase, which is the first day of your menstruation (menses) until your ovulation. Now this is the most variable part of your cycle, it could even occur during the latter part of your menstruation (yes you can get pregnant during your period if ovulation coincides with your menstruation). Which means that one's cycle can be longer or shorter depending on environmental and hormonal factors which influence when ovulation occurs. The second phase, postovulatory phase, is more rigid and for each woman is about 12 - 16 days long. So the rhythm pattern: predicting ovulation based on when your period starts and then guessing when ovulation will occur is most definitely not a good method; all because the first phase of your cycle can be so variable, even though the second is not. For most people a cycle of 23 to 35 days is normal. A cycle that is longer than 35 is considered anovulatory, meaning ovulation did not occur at all.
The average menstrual cycle is 28 days. Five days for the menstrual phase (when a woman's endometrium is being expelled, also known as a period), nine days for the proliferative phase (when the endometrium is developing), zero days for ovulation (when a ripe ova, or egg cell, is deposited from an ovary), and fourteen days for the secretory phase (when the endometrium continues to develop.
