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.
