What day in the mentrual cycle does estrogen occur?
Estrogen is a naturally occurring hormone that is present in your body throughout your entire cycle (assuming that you have one or both of your ovaries). Both men and women have small amounts of estrogen in their bodies from other organs, but the significant source of estrogen is from the ovaries, which only woman have. It is always present during the menstrual cycle, but fluctuates during the month. During your cycle, you will produce greater and lesser amounts of estrogen and the amount and time varies from woman to woman. There is no single day in which your body produces estrogen, it is produced at all times and is necessary for good health. Natural menopause occurs at a later age as your ovaries produce less and less estrogen. Women in menopause experience many symptoms as a result of the drop in estrogen (and progesterone, another vital hormone) including, mood swings, hot flashes and night sweats. Estrogen replacement therapy is popular, especially if the drop in estrogen levels is sudden and severe. The body adjusts to lower levels of estrogen over time as the aging process takes place and the body no longer prepares itself to bear children. After menopause, the ovaries produce very little estrogen, no eggs and menstrual periods cease altogether.
Estrogen's are produced primarily by developing follicles in the ovaries, the corpus luteum, and the placenta. Luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates the production of estrogen in the ovaries. Some estrogen's are also produced in smaller amounts by other tissues such as the liver, adrenal glands, and the breasts. These secondary sources of estrogens are especially important in postmenopausal women. Fat cells also produce estrogen,[6] potentially being the reason why underweight or overweight are risk factors for infertility. (Source wikipedia)

What are Estrogen and progesterone are hormones produced by?

Is there equine estrogen in estradiol?
In a sense, yes. Conjugated equine estrogens are collected from pregnant mare urine and then are used to supplement women going through menopause.
This product was marketed as Premarin and sold by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals.
The pregnant mares are restrained and their urine collected. The by-product, of course, is the mare's foal. Some PMU (pregnant mare urine) foals are bred to be pedigreed and sell well. Other less responsible breeders do not put much thought into the resulting foal, which led a lot of animal rights groups to question the practice.
