The two hormones are LH and FSH. Both are necessary for proper function of the ovary. Together they produce a mature egg. After the egg is released and not fertilized, menstruation will occur. Menstruation occurs when the lining of the uterus is "lost" since it doesn't need to be ready to accept a zygote (fertilized egg).

The Posterior Lobe of Pituitary and the HypothalamusThe posterior lobe, so far as is known, does not make any of its own hormones, but serves as a storehouse for two hormones manufactured by the hypothalamus . The hypothalamus, apart from having a role in controlling the body's autonomic nervous system, also functions as an endocrine gland, secreting its own hormones, and as a connecting link between the brain's cerebral cortex and the pituitary gland. The posterior lobe of the pituitary releases the two hormones it receives from the hypothalamus, called vasopressin and oxytocin , into the bloodstream. Vasopressin plays a role in the fluid balance of the body; oxytocin is thought to pace the onset and progress of labor during childbirth.
