- ovulation phase:->on the 13th or 14th day the follicle ruptures (ovulation )and the release egg travels down the oviduct.
- linear phase:->it last from 15 to 28 days uterine lining thickens further emptied follicle in the overy turns into Harmon producing tissue called Corpus lactam.if there is no fertilization that egg disintegrates and uterine lining starts shedding on 28th day.
