The inside of the uterus is lined with the "endometrium" which is shed every month if you are not pregnant. Once you get pregnant that lining changes to the "decidua" which stays in place because of the hormone progesterone and hCG the pregnancy hormone during pregnancy.

Why do women still have their period after having an Hysterectomy?

Menstrual bleeding occurs when thickened endometrial tissue (which lines the uterus) breaks up and reverts to being thin, so it's natural to assume that a hysterectomy will completely end periods. However, as long as there's a functioning ovary there will be a monthly cycle, and if there is any remaining endometrial tissue it will respond normally to hormones. Some hysterectomies are partial and so a portion of the uterus remains. Even when the uterus is fully removed, some endometrial tissue may remain attached to the uterus's side of the cervix, which can cause mini-periods.
