What Hormones Are Involved in the Menstrual Cycle?
Several hormones regulate the menstrual cycle, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen, and progesterone. FSH and LH are produced by the pituitary gland and stimulate the growth of ovarian follicles and ovulation. Estrogen and progesterone are produced by the ovaries and regulate the growth and shedding of the endometrial lining.
