Menstruation is one of the phases of the menstrual cycle, whereas the menstrual cycle is the entire reproductive system. During the menstrual cycle an egg is released and to prepare for possible pregnancy the uterus lining plumps-up, if pregnancy doesn't occur the uterus lining sheds (menstruation) so it can start afresh again next cycle.
The lining of the uterus is shed during the menstrual phase of the menstrual cycle. This is when the body sheds the built-up uterine lining in the absence of a fertilized egg, resulting in menstrual bleeding.
The normal order of events in the menstrual cycle is: follicular phase, ovulation, luteal phase, menstruation.
The typical time difference between ovulation and menstruation in the menstrual cycle is around 14 days.
Ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovary, which typically occurs around the middle of the menstrual cycle. It is a crucial step in the menstrual cycle as it is necessary for fertilization to occur. If the egg is not fertilized, it will disintegrate and be shed during menstruation.
