∙ 13y agoFollicles in the ovary is stimulated by FSH and so in response it grows and secretes oestrogen. this oestrogen increases rapidly and in turn stimulates the growth of the uterine lining causing it to become thicker n filled with blood vessels.this rapid increase in estrogen causes a massive surge of LH. This surge causes ovulation which is the release of the ovum from the follicle.after ovulation, the follicle undergoes rapid changes and is then called a corpus luteum which secretes progesterone in response to luteinising hormone stimulation. progesterone and oestrogen together causes a further thickening of the uterine lining preparing thee uterus for pregnancy.

∙ 12y agoI may not be a doctor or so but i believe it has something to do with that when a woman is pregnant she needs to have the uterus thick otherwise the fetus would be "flushed" out at the time of the next period.
So basically it becomes thick so it can sustain a baby in there. The progesteron level goes up and the oestrogen goes down so that there will be no more periods during pregnancy.
someone please correct me if I'm wrong
