What is Estrogen Doing? • Stimulates growth of cells in the lining of the uterus, the cervix and the vagina • Causes breast to be more receptive to progesterone • Causes changes in cervical mucous

Changes in Cervix and Cervical Mucous Around ovulation: • Cervix opens • Fibers line

Changes in Cervix and Cervical Mucous Around ovulation: • Cervix opens • Fibers line up under influence of estrogen permitting sperm to get through

What about Progesterone? • Helps with the functioning of lining of the uterus (in preparation for fertilization) • Prepares breasts for possible pregnancy • Signals the pituitary to stop producing LH

What Triggers Menstruation? • No fertilization • Corpus Luteum regresses after about 12 days

What Triggers Menstruation? • No fertilization • Corpus Luteum regresses after about 12 days • Progesterone & estrogen products drop off sharply • Endometrium sloughs off

What happens if fertilization does occur? • Corpus luteum remains active • Progesterone levels

What happens if fertilization does occur? • Corpus luteum remains active • Progesterone levels remain high • • uterine lining remains strong Implantation occurs h. CG from fetus takes over
