Levels of progesterone and oestrogen decreases, which leads to the breakdown of endometrium. 2) Follicular phase : it is also known as proliferative phase. Development of follicles occur. Level of hormones and formation of endometrium increases gradually . 3) Ovulation phase :  it happens on the 14th day.

It is like the  Lighting storm+ Chemical storm. The brain is acceptable with a little practice. The more we practice, the more it learns and the more is encoded in the brain.
