Every 28 days, a women enters ovulation, which means that she is dropping an egg from one of her ovaries into the Fallopian tube. The uterus prepares to receive a fertilized egg by lining itself with special cells, which allow the egg to fasten to the wall of the uterus. If fertilization does not occur, the egg dies, and is discarded, and the lining of the uterus sloughs off, or sheds. All of this dead material must be flushed from the body, which is what the menstrual flow accomplishes.

∙ 10y ago- Menstruation occurs in human females to get rid of the unfertilized eggs.
- Each month, your reproductive system repeats a regular pattern of events (your cycle, or your menstrual cycle), all controlled by hormones.
- The menstrual cycle is defined as the time from the first day of a woman's period to the first day of her next period. Here are the basics of the menstrual cycle phases.
- menstrual cycle does not necessarily take place once a month. The average menstrual cycle time for women is 28 days, but your menstrual cycle may last from 21 to 35 days and still be normal.
- If you have a short menstrual cycle, you may have a period more often than once a month. However, if your menstrual cycle lasts longer, you're one of the women who have fewer periods in a year.
