A menstrual cycle is broken down into a follicular phase, ovulation and a luteal phase. These occur in that order (as long as everything is working normally) and make up the "cycle". I guess they call it a cycle because you just keep going round and round and unless you get pregnant or have something happen (i.e birthcontrol) to change this, it will just keep cycling.

The menstrual cycle is called a cycle because it is a recurring process that the female body goes through each month to prepare for a potential pregnancy. It involves a series of hormonal changes that lead to the release of an egg from the ovary, thickening of the uterine lining, and shedding of the lining if pregnancy does not occur.
