Question

Which of the following hormones control(s) the menstrual cycle in human beings?

• A. FSH
• B. LH
• C. FSH, LH, estrogen

The menstrual cycle is regulated by two pairs of hormones:
Pituitary hormones (FSH and LH) which act on the ovaries, and ovarian hormones (Estrogen and Progesterone) which act on the uterus.
FSH and LH levels reach their peak in the middle of the cycle (around day 14), triggering ovulation.
