The layer of the uterus that is shed during menstruation, approximately every 28 days, is the endometrium - this is the spongy mucosal tissue that develops after ovulation under the influence of progesterone to support the fertilised egg should a woman fall pregnant, if the woman doesn't fall pregnant then the endometruim becomes unstable and sheds aka menstruation.
