Women have a monthly cycle, or period. Every month a mature egg is released from the ovaries and the lining of the womb develops so that it can receive a fertilised egg. If the egg is not fertilised the womb lining breaks down. This is called the menstrual cycle. It usually takes about 28 days, although the length of time varies from person to person. The cycle is controlled by hormones from the pituitary gland and the ovaries.
