Complex Process: The menstrual cycle is the monthly process of the woman's body attempting to become pregnant. The brain hormones stimulate the ovaries to produce hormones and mature an egg. The hormones stimulate the uterus lining to prepare for an embryo to implant. The hormones also feed back to the brain to regulate hormone secretion. The pregnancy HCG hormone feeds back to ovary to continue Progesterone prod.
