The uterine lining, or endometrium, thickens each month in preparation for a potential pregnancy. This process is driven by hormonal changes, primarily estrogen, which stimulates the growth of blood vessels and tissue in the lining. If fertilization does not occur, hormone levels drop, leading to the shedding of the lining during menstruation. This cyclical process is part of the menstrual cycle, which prepares the uterus for a possible implantation of an embryo.
