During which stage of the menstrual cycle does the endometrium layer thicken?
A. Secretory Phase

layer is rebuilding. Remember during the menstrual phase (cycle days 1-6) the endometrium layer sheds
and must be rebuilt. The estrogen released from the follicle (as it matures) causes the endometrium to
thicken, in case pregnancy occurs during this cycle.

B. Cycle day 14-28
C. Cycle day 1-6
