Answer:

Follicular; Luteal

Step-by-step explanation:

The follicular phase is the cycle's first phase, beginning with the period and ending with ovulation. The body prepares for ovulation during this phase and there is a rise in hormone levels to start the ovulation process, such as luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone.

The menstrual luteal phase starts immediately after ovulation. It starts with corpus luteum formation and finishes either in pregnancy or luteolysis.
