Menstrual Cycle
The changes in the female reproductive system where an ovary releases an egg and the uterus prepares to receive it
Real World Example
Imagine planning a big dinner party where you invite several guests, but you're not sure if they'll show up. This situation is similar to the menstrual cycle, where the ovary releases an egg in preparation for potential fertilization, just like preparing your home for guests. In this analogy, the released egg is like sending out invitations, and the uterus preparing to receive the egg is akin to tidying up your home and setting the table, with the hope that a guest (sperm) will arrive to complete the event (fertilization). If no guest arrives, just as you might put away the extra food, the body resets, and the cycle begins anew.
