Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During which phase of the menstrual cycle if a woman were to have intercourse during this time, the thick mucus captures the man’s sperm, nourishes it, and helps it to move towards the egg for fertilization?
A
Follicular
B
Ovulatory
C
Luteal
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Progesterone prepares the uterus for a fertilized egg to implant.-If intercourse has taken place and a man’s sperm has fertilized the egg (a process called conception), the fertilized egg (embryo) will travel through the fallopian tube to implant in the uterus.-The woman is now considered pregnant.

Detailed explanation-2: -Intercourse during the fertile window is not sufficient to produce pregnancy. Pregnancy depends on the viability of the sperm and egg, the receptivity of the uterus, and other factors that vary widely among couples. Within the six fertile days of each cycle, the probability of conception is lowest on the first day.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hormones cause your cervical mucus to change in texture, volume and color throughout your menstrual cycle. It can be used to identify when you are most fertile. Your mucus is thick, white and dry before ovulation (when your ovary releases an egg). Just before ovulation, your cervical mucus will turn clear and slippery.

Detailed explanation-4: -You’re most fertile when your cervical secretions are abundant, clear, stretchy, wet and slippery-much like a raw egg white. If you’re hoping to get pregnant, this is the time to have sex. Ovulation most likely occurs during or one day after your last day of this type of cervical secretion-known as your peak day.

Detailed explanation-5: -The four phases of the menstrual cycle are menstruation, the follicular phase, ovulation and the luteal phase. Common menstrual problems include heavy or painful periods and premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
