Every month the uterine lining is prepared for the pregnancy. Every month it is shed up. Changing of the lining is routine phenomena all over the body. The pregnancy is supposed to be the most precious lining. You can not expect the nature to use the same ling for years together, when the fresh one can be made available easily.

You can think of the uterus as a garden. It builds up the lining like a gardener adding mulch so when she plants seeds, they will grow well. The same goes for the newly fertilized egg.

those hormones are estrogen and progesterone which are needed after fertilization because they continue ti build up the endometrial lining in the uterus
the uterine lining builds-up during the proliferate phase of the menstrual cycle. Everyone's menstrual cycles are different, but during a 28 day cycle this phase would be around days 16-28.
Because of the effect of hormonal birth control methods on the lining of the uterus, the lining doesn't build up, and so doesn't need to be shed. So the blood didn't "go" anywhere; instead, it never "showed up."
Progesterone doesn't start your period, it's actually the drop in progesterone that starts your period. Progesterone caused the uterus lining to build up, if pregnancy doesn't occur the progesterone level drops causing the uterine lining to break down - menstruation.
Yes, it does, unless it did not build up in the first place. As soon as your period ends, the womb lining begins to build up and thicken so that if the egg is fertilised, there will be a thick, safe, spongy environment for it to implant in. If the egg has not been fertilised, it will break down during your period because it is not needed. However, sometimes, the right hormones are not being produced or not enough of them are produced and the womb lining does not build up, therefore it does not break down either
The urterine lining thickens during menstruation in order to shed, making way for the new layer to build up in hopes of a zygote burying into the wall.
Yes, thickening of the uterine lining is one of the main functions of progesterone during the menstrual cycle, allowing the womb to build-up the uterine lining to support a fertilised egg. If pregnancy doesn't occur then it's the drop in progesterone that causes the uterine lining to break down.
The discharge of blood comes from a woman's uterus. The bleeding is the result of cyclic hormonal changes. The ovaries produce eggs and female hormones. During the normal menstrual cycle, an egg will be released from one ovary. The egg travels from the ovary through a Fallopian tube to the Uterus. The cycle ends with the shedding of the inner lining of the Uterus, which causes menstruation.
