Sí, la fase folicular del ciclo menstrual es la fase del ciclo que va desde el inicio de la menstruación hasta la ovulación. Therefore, it is the preovulatory period of the menstrual cycle and, for this reason, this phase may also be known as preovulatory phase.

On the other hand, it is also possible to know the follicular phase as the estrogenic phase, due to the increase in this hormone that occurs.
