Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The purpose of the menstrual cycle is to prepare the body for a possible pregnancy. During the menstrual cycle, a mature egg is produced by the ovaries and the lining of the uterus thickens to support a possible pregnancy.

Detailed explanation-2: -In each cycle, rising levels of the hormone oestrogen cause the ovary to develop and release an egg (ovulation). The womb lining also starts to thicken. In the second half of the cycle, the hormone progesterone helps the womb to prepare for implantation of a developing embryo. The egg travels down the fallopian tubes.

Detailed explanation-3: -During your menstrual cycle, hormones make the eggs in your ovaries mature-when an egg is mature, that means it’s ready to be fertilized by a sperm cell. These hormones also make the lining of your uterus thick and spongy. So if your egg does get fertilized, it has a nice cushy place to land and start a pregnancy.
