17-β-estradiol peak in absence of progesterone acts via (+) feedback to cause LH surge (~ 24 hrs after estradiol surge) =>
ovulation ~12 hrs after that
Menstrual cycle:
On day 25, _ causes progesterone/estrogen levels to _, which leads to _ in endometrial cells
Continued low LH (after peak on ~day 14) cause luteolysis on day ~25 = death + regression of corpus luteum
Causes drop in progesterone, estrogen
Low progesterone => destabilizes lysosomes of endometrial cells => inflammation => menstruation 3 days later
