https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endometrium
he functional layer is adjacent to the uterine cavity. This layer is built up after the end of menstruation during the first part of the previous menstrual cycle. Proliferation is induced by estrogen (follicular phase of menstrual cycle), and later changes in this layer are engendered by progesterone from the corpus luteum (luteal phase). It is adapted to provide an optimum environment for the implantation and growth of the embryo. This layer is completely shed during menstruation.

During menstruation, the functional layer, adjacent to the uterine cavity, thickens and is later shed. The layer is then built up after the end of menstruation and in the course of the first part of the previous menstrual cycle.
