The menstrual cycle actually begins with the first day of your period. During this time, estrogen levels in your body are extremely low. This signals your body to produce FSH. As the levels of FSH in your bloodstream rise, approximately 20 follicles inside of your ovary begin to mature. One of these follicles will begin to secrete estradiol, a type of estrogen, while the weaker follicles die off. As your period ends, your body will prepare for ovulation by creating a thicker uterine lining, appropriate for implantation. Your cervical mucus will also change, from thick and clumpy, to thin and slippery.
ovulation occurs around the 14th day of your menstrual cycle.the egg will enter one of your fallopian tubes and travel towards your uterus. The leftover egg follicle gradually shrinks, becoming the corpus luteum.
If your egg is not fertilized after ovulation, your body will progress into the menstrual phase of its cycle. During this stage, the unfertilizied egg is expelled from the vagina along with the uterine lining. This is your menstrual period.

Menstruation is the shedding of the uterine lining, which occurs if the released egg is not fertilized. Ovulation is the release of a mature egg from the ovary, which typically happens around the middle of the menstrual cycle. Menstruation and ovulation are both part of the menstrual cycle, but they are distinct processes.

∙ 12y agoovulation is the release of an egg from the uterus in order for it to be fertilized or just leave the body through the vagina.
menstruation is the shedding of the inner lining of the uterus (blood and tissue). the lining is to cushion a baby so if your not pregnant, it will shed.
they are two separate steps of the menstrual cycle that may occur at the same time.

∙ 12y agoOvulation is the release of one (or sometimes more) eggs from the ovaries in preparation for possible insemination by the sperm and subsequent implantation into the uterine wall, initiating pregnancy. This is accompanied by changes to the lining of the uterine wall so that implantation can be successful.
Most of the time, there is no sperm and implantation does not occur. As a result, the preparations to the uterine wall are no longer needed. This initiates menstruation.
Menstruation is the sloughing off of the prepared uterine wall and the subsequent discharge of that waste material through the vagina.
This process of ovulation, waiting, and menstruation occurs roughly every 28 days for normal women from puberty through menopause.

Can you have your menstrual cycle and have a miscarriage at the same time?
No. Before you menstruate you ovulate and you don't do that when you are pregnant.
Do you still somehow lose ova regularly during a normal pregnancy?
No, you do not ovulate during pregnancy. The reason you menstruate is because you have a egg that is not fertilized. That egg along with the lining of the uterus comes out during menstruation. During pregnancy the uterus is closed to protect the fetus and you do not ovulate or menstruate.
CAN YOU GET PREGNANT IF YOU ARE NOT MENSTRUATING FOR OVER 5 YRS AT 46 YEARS OF AGE?
Not menstruating due to menopause means you do not ovulate so it's no very likely. See your doctor if it's another reason you do not menstruate and ovulate.

It just means it's irregular or not as frequent as in other women. You don't menstruate until you ovulate, and you don't ovulate until your body is physically able to cope with pregnancy - it takes time for your body to mature enough physically to ovulate on a regular basis. Don't expect regular cycles until adulthood.
What is the difference between safe and unsafe period?
During your menstrual cycle there is a period known as safe which is when you don't ovulate. The opposite is the period when you do ovulate which is unsafe if you want to avoid pregnancy. Some couples rely ion this as a contraceptive but it's very unsafe since women don't always ovulate at the same days each month.
Can you ovulate during a prolonged period?
Most women ovulate between day 12 and day 18 of their cycle.
Why do periods come at different intervals to start with?
You don't menstruate until you ovulate, and it takes time for the body to reach a point where it is mature enough to ovulate regularly. Also during puberty there are a lot of changes occurring in the body which will impact on hormone levels, so in turn impact on the menstrual cycle causing irregularity.
