    This document summarizes key aspects of oogenesis, the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and fetal development. It describes how follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulate egg maturation and ovulation. Progesterone maintains the endometrium during pregnancy by inhibiting FSH. The placenta supplies nutrients and removes waste for the developing fetus via the umbilical cord until birth.
