the uterine lining builds-up during the proliferate phase of the menstrual cycle. Everyone's menstrual cycles are different, but during a 28 day cycle this phase would be around days 16-28.

When you have your period, the lining of your uterus sheds along with blood. This lining is made up of tissue and blood vessels that build up in the uterus each month in preparation for a potential pregnancy. When fertilization does not occur, this lining is shed during menstruation, resulting in a mixture of blood and tissue being released out of the body.

No, not all of the lining of the uterus comes out during menstruation. The shedding of the endometrium (uterine lining) is what causes bleeding during your period, but it does not all come out at once. Some of the lining is still attached to the uterine wall and will continue to shed in subsequent cycles.
The lining of the uterus builds up between day 5 and day 14 of the menstrual cycle in preparation for a potential pregnancy. This build-up of tissue is influenced by hormones like estrogen and progesterone released during this phase of the cycle, creating a suitable environment for a fertilized egg to implant and develop. If pregnancy does not occur, this lining is shed during menstruation.
The urterine lining thickens during menstruation in order to shed, making way for the new layer to build up in hopes of a zygote burying into the wall.
The presence of cells in the uterus or womb is normal and necessary for the proper functioning of the uterus. The lining of the uterus is made up of cells that build up and shed during the menstrual cycle or support the growth of a fertilized egg during pregnancy. If abnormal cells are detected, it may indicate a health issue that requires further investigation.
You can think of the uterus as a garden. It builds up the lining like a gardener adding mulch so when she plants seeds, they will grow well. The same goes for the newly fertilized egg.
Yes, thickening of the uterine lining is one of the main functions of progesterone during the menstrual cycle, allowing the womb to build-up the uterine lining to support a fertilised egg. If pregnancy doesn't occur then it's the drop in progesterone that causes the uterine lining to break down.
During menstruation, the blood comes from the shedding of the lining of the uterus. The lining builds up throughout the menstrual cycle in preparation for a potential pregnancy, but if pregnancy does not occur, the lining is shed and expelled from the body as menstrual blood.
Each month, from the age of about 12, a woman releases one egg each month. If this egg is fertilised by sperm during sex, a baby is made. If it isn't fertilised, it starts to break down and the body needs to get rid of it. Also, during the month, the lining of the woman's uterus/womb starts to build up and thicken so that if the egg is fertilised it will be able to implant into the lining and grow. If the egg is not fertilised, the body also needs to get rid of this built-up lining. So, once the egg has been released, and not fertilised it will start to break down and the remains leave the uterus through the cervix and out of the vagina. As the lining of the uterus starts to break down and detach, blood vessels are ruptured and this is where the blood comes from.
If fertilization occurs the uterus will expand. It will develop a corpus lutem around the fetus to keep it from contracting like it would during a normal period.The uterus will also beging leaning on the bladder.
