Detailed explanation-1: -The menses phase: This phase, which typically lasts from day one to day five, is the time when the lining of your uterus sheds through your vagina if pregnancy hasn’t occurred.
Detailed explanation-2: -The follicular phase starts on the first day of your period (so there is some overlap with the menstrual phase) and ends when you ovulate. It starts when the hypothalamus signals your pituitary gland to release follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
