Your Menstrual Cycle – The Hormones
These are the 4 major players when it comes to your menstrual cycle hormones:
1️⃣ Estrogen helps to grow & mature your uterine lining + mature your eggs before ovulation
2️⃣ Progesterone controls the build up your your uterine lining + helps to mature and maintain the uterine lining in preparation for pregnancy — both estrogen & progesterone are produced in your ovaries
3️⃣ FSH stimulates the growth of the eggs in the ovaries
4️⃣ LH helps to trigger the release of the egg from the ovary (aka ovulation) FSH & LH are both produced in your brain
