| Menstrual | 1 - 4 | Click on image to see full size. | Both stratum corneum (red) and stratum spinosum (blue) epithelial cells will mostly blood. Leukocytes and bacteria may also be present. | 
|
| Early Proliferative | 5 - 9 | 
|
mainly large and small basophilic (blue) stratum spinosum cells. | |
| Mid Proliferative | 9 - 13 | 
|
Stratum spinosum (blue) increase in size. Dark precipate outside cells are bacteria. | 
|
| Late Proliferative, Ovulatory | 13-14 | 
|
mainly stratum corneum (red) which are large and flat, appear due to high estrogen levels. | 
|
| Secretory | 15 - 22 | 
|
stratum spinosum cells (blue) which are folded or with curled edges, appear immediately after ovulation due to increase in progesterone. Leukocytes (small black cells) becoming more numerous. | 
|
| Late Secretory, (Ischemic) Premenstrual | 23 - 28 | 
|
stratum spinosum cells (blue) mainly with a few stratum corneum cells (red). Clustering of cells occurs at this stage and both leukocytes and bacteria are prevelant. |
