• Starts at the first on set of menstruation.This means that she is beginning to have one egg cell ripen
and she is ready to get pregnant.• The egg cell is the female contribution in pregnancy.• The woman is fertile only during “ovulation”.• Ovulation happens only once during the “Ovulatory Phase” of
the menstrual cycle.• Female fertility will end up to ”menopause” stage.

The MENSTRUAL CYCLE
MENSTRUATION PRE-OVULATORY OVULATORY POST-OVULATORY
Menstrual Phase
MENSTRUAL PHASE Responsible Parenthood and All-Natural Family Planning Program
• Starts on the first day of menstruation.• Menstrual bleeding is the result of the shedding off
of the uterine lining. This means that the woman is not pregnant.
• Menstruation usually happens 4-6 days.
• Menstruation is a normal condition of a woman's body and does not mean that she is sick or has sickness.
Pre-Ovulatory Phase
Responsible Parenthood and All-Natural Family Planning Program
• Menstruation had stopped or ceased already.
• Egg cell starts to develop .• The uterine lining is beginning
to thicken.• There is a mucus plug at the
cervix.• The woman is experiencing feelings of dryness and
no mucus is seen.• Pre- Ovulatory phase is known to be relatively
infertile days.
Ovulatory Phase
Responsible Parenthood and All-Natural Family Planning Program
• Cervix is now open.• Wet is the feeling experienced
by the woman.• Mucus are watery, slippery,
clear and stretchy are seen and felt.(fertile mucus)
• Mucus nourishes sperms and filters abnormal sperms , too.
• Uterine lining continue to thicken• One matured egg is released from the ovary and
stays at the fallopian tube for about 24 hrs.• The life span of the egg cell is 24 hours only.
Post-Ovulatory Phase
Responsible Parenthood and All-Natural Family Planning Program
• If there is no meeting of the sperm and egg cell, the egg cell disintegrate and is reabsorbed by the body.
• The cervix is closed again• The woman feels dryness and no
mucus is seen.
• Post-ovulatory phase is known to be absolutely infertile days .
• The uterine lining thickens again.• Because the woman is not pregnant, she will again
experience menstruation.
