Muddiest Point

Hello everyone,
         Im having troubles understanding the negative and positive feedback loop (in the context of hormones and the menstrual cycle). Thanks!

  1. Hi Jessica,
    I will attempt to answer your question on the negative and positive feedback loop. When the body wants to produce more estrogen, it stimulates the FSH and the pituitary gland to make more estrogen. That is positive feedback. When the body produces to much estrogen and wants it to stop producing, it signals the FSH and the pituitary gland to stop producing estrogen and that is called negative feedback mechanism.
