Menstrual cycle refers to the entire reproductive cycle, starting during menstruation - there is no 'after the menstrual cycle' but I think you might mean after menstruation. After menstruation the cycle starts again, typically a woman will be fertile around a week after menstruation so her body will produce fertile cervical mucus and she will ovulate.
a menstrual cycle (more comonly known as a period) lasts about a week and happens once a month.
not necessarily
If the egg is fertilized and results in pregnancy then the menstrual cycle stops. The menstrual cycle exists to allow pregnancy to occur, so when pregnant no need for it to continue.
They do not affect the menstrual cycle itself, however, they WILL affect your birth control (decreasing the effectiveness), which CAN effect your menstrual cycle. You can get pregnant or have changes in your menstrual cycle as if you had missed a week or so on your pills.

breaks down
A typical woman's menstrual cycle is around 28 days, but it can vary from 21 to 35 days. The first day of the cycle is considered to be the first day of menstrual bleeding.
Menstrual flow typically occurs during the menstrual phase of the menstrual cycle, which is when a woman sheds the lining of the uterus. This usually happens about once a month, lasting anywhere from 2 to 7 days. The menstrual phase is the first phase of the menstrual cycle.
You can take Norethisterone which will stop your period for as long as you take it.
u bleed
There usually occurs an ovulation on day 14 of the menstrual cycle. Usually one, occasionally more than one ovum is released from the ovary. It is trapped by the fimbriated end of the fallopian tube. Usually fertilization occurs in the fallopian tube.
Your menstrual cycle is your reproductive cycle, if you're a healthy fertile female then you're always on your menstrual cycle - I think maybe you mean during menstruation. At any point in your menstrual cycle douching is unhealthy and unhygienic: it changes vaginal pH, pushes harmful bacteria further into the vagina, and strips the vaginal tissues of lubrication.
