What does MC mean?

Menstrual Cycle (MC) refers to the cycles in which a woman sheds and grows the lining of the uterus (endometrium) that could support the development of a fertilized egg which makes pregnancy possible. It is a natural process that a woman goes through each month. MC lasts an average of 28 days, but variations are possible.
MC is typically divided into four main phases: the menstrual phase (menses phase), follicular phase, ovulation, and luteal phase.
