the uterine lining builds-up during the proliferate phase of the menstrual cycle. Everyone's menstrual cycles are different, but during a 28 day cycle this phase would be around days 16-28.

The urterine lining thickens during menstruation in order to shed, making way for the new layer to build up in hopes of a zygote burying into the wall.
You can think of the uterus as a garden. It builds up the lining like a gardener adding mulch so when she plants seeds, they will grow well. The same goes for the newly fertilized egg.
Yes, it does, unless it did not build up in the first place. As soon as your period ends, the womb lining begins to build up and thicken so that if the egg is fertilised, there will be a thick, safe, spongy environment for it to implant in. If the egg has not been fertilised, it will break down during your period because it is not needed. However, sometimes, the right hormones are not being produced or not enough of them are produced and the womb lining does not build up, therefore it does not break down either

Yes, thickening of the uterine lining is one of the main functions of progesterone during the menstrual cycle, allowing the womb to build-up the uterine lining to support a fertilised egg. If pregnancy doesn't occur then it's the drop in progesterone that causes the uterine lining to break down.
Each month, from the age of about 12, a woman releases one egg each month. If this egg is fertilised by sperm during sex, a baby is made. If it isn't fertilised, it starts to break down and the body needs to get rid of it. Also, during the month, the lining of the woman's uterus/womb starts to build up and thicken so that if the egg is fertilised it will be able to implant into the lining and grow. If the egg is not fertilised, the body also needs to get rid of this built-up lining. So, once the egg has been released, and not fertilised it will start to break down and the remains leave the uterus through the cervix and out of the vagina. As the lining of the uterus starts to break down and detach, blood vessels are ruptured and this is where the blood comes from.
Every month the uterine lining is prepared for the pregnancy. Every month it is shed up. Changing of the lining is routine phenomena all over the body. The pregnancy is supposed to be the most precious lining. You can not expect the nature to use the same ling for years together, when the fresh one can be made available easily.
those hormones are estrogen and progesterone which are needed after fertilization because they continue ti build up the endometrial lining in the uterus
The discharge of blood comes from a woman's uterus. The bleeding is the result of cyclic hormonal changes. The ovaries produce eggs and female hormones. During the normal menstrual cycle, an egg will be released from one ovary. The egg travels from the ovary through a Fallopian tube to the Uterus. The cycle ends with the shedding of the inner lining of the Uterus, which causes menstruation.
Because of the effect of hormonal birth control methods on the lining of the uterus, the lining doesn't build up, and so doesn't need to be shed. So the blood didn't "go" anywhere; instead, it never "showed up."
