What is the shortest phase of your menstrual cycle?

Answer 1

The cycle is divided in two periods of unequal length: the phase that precedes ovulation (or follicular rupture) is called the follicular phase whereas the period which follows ovulation is termed the luteal phase.. The length of the follicular phase depends on the velocity of growth of the ovarian follicles and is thus variable from one woman to another. In contrast, the length of the luteal phase depends on the life span of the corpus luteum, it is thus less variable.

Answer 2

The phases of the menstrual cycle in human beings are as follows:

1. Menstrual phase: uterine lining shedding.
2. Follicular phase: eggs mature in ovary.
3. Ovulation phase: eggs released from ovary.
4. Luteal phase: uterine lining builds-up.

Answer 3

No, the menstrual cycle is not always the same length.

There are normally a few days variation from the average menstrual cycle, up to a weeks variation. There are also times when the menstrual cycle can be irregular or will change, such as during puberty while the body is developing and it takes time for the body to get into a regular cycle. There will also be times when menstruation can be delayed, which will impact on the cycle.

Answer 4

The shortest phase is ovulation.

Ovulation typically occurs 14 days prior to menstruation, it is when eggs are released from the ovary. Ovulation itself only lasts 24 hours, but as two eggs can be released over that 24 hour period it means there may be a viable egg present for up to 48 hours.

Answer 5

How do i calculate ovulation if my cycle varies.. Sometimes its 28 days, 29 days to 31 days.. Im ttc

Answer 6

Periods vary tremendously in length with an average cycle of 28 days.

Answer 7

The typical menstrual cycle is around 28 days long. Everyone's cycles are different so many women's cycles will be longer or shorter than this, some significantly longer.
