During the menstrual cycle, the uterus prepares to receive a fertilized egg primarily during the luteal phase, which occurs after ovulation. In this phase, the hormone progesterone increases, leading to the thickening of the uterine lining (endometrium) to create a suitable environment for implantation. If fertilization occurs, the embryo will implant itself into this prepared lining. If fertilization does not happen, hormone levels drop, resulting in menstruation.
