what hormone is most important in the proliferative phase of the uterine cycle?
estrogen
the proliferative phase is the second phase of the uterine cycle when estrogen causes the lining of the uterus to grow, or proliferate, during this time. as they mature, the ovarian follicles secrete increasing amounts of estradiol, and estrogen. the estrogens initiate the formation of a new layer of endometrium in the uterus, histologically identified as the proliferative endometrium. the estrogen also stimulates crypts in the cervix to produce cervical mucus, which causes vaginal discharge regardless of arousal, and can be tracked by women practicing fertility awareness.

menstrual cycle
the menstrual cycle can be described by the ovarian or uterine cycle. the ovarian cycle describes changes that occur in the follicles of the ovary whereas the uterine cycle describes changes in the endometrial lining of the uterus. both cycles can be divided into three phases. the ovarian cycle consists of the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase, whereas the uterine cycle consists of menstruation, proliferative phase, and secretory phase.
