◉ Follicular/proliferative phase.
Answer: endometrium builds up with increasing estrogen levels,
regulated by FSH from anterior pituitary, FSH stimulates follicle
development in ovaries
◉ Luteal/secretory phase.
Answer: follows ovulation (approximately day 14), progesterone
produced by corpus luteum, body temperature increases 0.5-1
degree, prepares endometrium for possible implantation
◉ If pregnancy doesn't occur.

endometrium sheds, cramping and breast discomfort are common

Answer: metabolite of estradiol (1/3 the potency), primary in
postmenopausal women
◉ Estriol.
Answer: less potent metabolite, produced by placenta
◉ Conjugated equine estrogen.
Answer: Premarin, common HRT
◉ Synthetic estrogens.
Answer: ethinyl estradiol, undergoes less liver metabolism
◉ Estrogens MOA.
