Which hormone helps regulate a woman’s menstrual cycle?
A
Thyroxine
B
Testerone
C
Estrogen
D
Progesterone
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The hormone responsible for these changes is progesterone, which is manufactured by the corpus luteum. Under the influence of progesterone, the uterus begins to create a highly vascularized bed for a fertilized egg. If a pregnancy occurs, the corpus luteum produces progesterone until about 10 weeks gestation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Progesterone plays an important role in your menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Progesterone creates a healthy uterine lining to support a fertilized egg, embryo and fetus. If progesterone levels are too low during pregnancy, it could cause complications such as bleeding or miscarriage.

Detailed explanation-3: -Progesterone helps to regulate your cycle. But its main job is to get your uterus ready for pregnancy. After you ovulate each month, progesterone helps thicken the lining of the uterus to prepare for a fertilized egg. If there is no fertilized egg, progesterone levels drop and menstruation begins.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the female ovary, this release of FSH and LH on the gonads causes the release of progesterone. Excess amounts of progesterone will cause negative feedback inhibition on each prior organ, resulting in the cessation of the release of hormones. This process allows for regulated control of hormone levels.
