Not trying to be a dick here but I don't think you answered his question, unless he knows how the "follicular phase" coincides with menstruation; which for the record, I think is a good one (the question) since I sure as hell don't know either.

When does the cycle start? Beginning of menstruation? Beginning of ovulation? When Saturn and Pluto are aligned with the moon? When she damn well says it does?
