   Endometrium
   The lining of the womb which develops at the beginning of each cycle so that it is ready to receive a fertilised egg. If there is no embryo then the endometrium breaks down and the woman returns to menstruation. During the cycle there are temperature changes - a fall in temperature followed by a rise schedules ovulation - it is not however an accurate method of predicting ovulation but successive temperature charts may be useful in determining the regularity of a woman's cycle. - see below:

    endometrium
    Mucous membrane that lines the uterus and that thickens during the menstrual cycle ready for implantation of the embryo.
