Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If the egg does not become fertilized, the lining of the uterus (endometrium) is shed during menstruation. The average menstrual cycle lasts 28 days. The cycle starts with the first day of one period and ends with the first day of the next period. The average woman ovulates on day 14.
Detailed explanation-2: -The ovulation phase During ovulation, the mature egg travels from the ovary, down the fallopian tube, and into the uterus.
Detailed explanation-3: -Luteal phase (day 15-28) If a sperm cell does not impregnate the egg cell within that time, the egg cell disintegrates. The hormone that causes the uterus to retain its endometrium gets used up by the end of the menstrual cycle.
