Gonadotropins are released.
Pituitary detects an increase in the hormone signal.
Uterus detects an increase in the hormone signal.
Ovaries detect an increase in the hormone signal.
Estrogen production increases.
Endometrium thickens.

B hypothalamus secretes GnRH
Ovaries detect an increase in the hormone signal.
Uterus detects an increase in the hormone signal.
Pituitary detects an increase in the hormone signal.
Gonadotropins are released.
Estrogen production increases.
Endometrium thickens.

C hypothalamus secretes GnRH
