The proliferative phase of the uterine cycle immediately precedes the uterine secretory phase. During this phase, estrogen levels increase, causing the endometrial lining of the uterus to thicken and rebuild after menstruation. This prepares the uterus for potential implantation of a fertilized egg during the secretory phase.
