Both because the corpus luteum of that cycle is regressing and as a result of a fall in plasma levels of estradiol and progesterone are correct. The decline in hormone levels causes the shedding of the endometrial lining. The corpus luteum is also regressing, leading to a decrease in production of progesterone, which contributes to the breakdown of the endometrium.
