The menstrual cycle is the shedding of the endometrium of the uterus.

The ovarian cycle occurs about 14 days after the menstrual cycle and is when ovulation occurs (release of an oocyte, or egg)
The menstrual cycle and the ovulation cycle are the same thing, the reproductive cycle is the process of releasing an egg from the ovary and if pregnancy doesn't occur the uterine lining that has built-up to support the potential pregnancy is shed. The different names just relate to different events withi the cycle: ovulation and menstruation.
The menstrual cycle is how often you get a period, where you bleed. The ovarian cycle is where you ovulate. It is associated with the menstrual cycle, because you ovulate on the 14th day, but it is separate from menstruating
