second half of the menstrual cycle, between ovulation and menses
the portion of the normal menstrual cycle from ovulation until the day before the next flow. A normal luteal phase is 10 days or longer (assessed by quantitative basal temperature methods) or 12 days or longer from the LH peak at midcycle. The length of the luteal phase is roughly proportional to the amount of progesterone in the cycle.
A phase of the menstrual cycle involving the hormone-secreting tissue (corpus luteum) in the ovary
The second part of your menstrual cycle, after ovulation. The time between ovulation and mentruation. It is called luteal phase because the corpus luteum governs hormone production at this time.
The second part of the menstrual cycle, after ovulation has occurred, on average 12 to 16 days
the postovulation phase of the menstrual cycle. "Luteal phase defect" refers to the inadequate production of hormones during this phase to support a pregnancy.
The second half of the menstral cycle, after ovulation
The phase in the menstrual cycle from ovulation to the next menstruation, which usually lasts 14 days; initiated by the formation of the corpus luteum, which releases increasing amounts of progesterone and estrogens to prepare the body for pregnancy
The post-ovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle characterised by the growth and development of the corpus luteum.
The post-ovulatory phase characterised by the growth and development of the corpus luteum. See menstrual cycle and post-ovulatory phase.
The days of a menstrual cycle following ovulation up to menstruation.
The phase of the menstrual cycle during which a follicle becomes a corpus luteum and then degenerates, releasing progesterone in the process that stimulates the growth of the uterine lining.
Post-ovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle. The corpus luteum produces progesterone, which causes the uterine lining to thicken to support the implantation and growth of the embryo.
The second half of the menstrual cycle, beginning with ovulation and endng with the beginning of menstration.
Part of the menstrual cycle following ovulation.
The second half of the ovarian cycle when the corpus luteum is formed; occurs after ovulation. PICTURE
The last fourteen days of the menstrual cycle after ovulation has occurred. It is associated with progesterone production. Also called the post ovulatory stage.
The second half of the menstrual cycle, beginning at ovulation (day 14 in an average 28-day cycle) and ending with menstruation
The portion of a menstrual cycle before menstruation, but after ovulation. A normal luteal phase lasts approximately 10 to 16 days. This is the part of the cycle that releases progesterone and enables implantation of the pre-embryo, which may result in pregnancy. close window
The second half of the menstrual cycle (after ovulation) that prepares the endometrial lining for implantation of the fertilised ovum.
the portion of a woman's menstrual cycle between ovulation and menstruation
The days of the menstrual cycle following ovulation and ending with menses during which progesterone is produced by the corpus luteum
The part of the ovarian cycle between ovulation and the start of a new follicular phase, so dominated by the presence of the corpus luteum and the progesterone it produces. Normally between 11 and 16 days in length. Extended by the action on the corpus luteum of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) if implantation of the embryo is successful. Shorter cycles can interfere with implantation (a luteal phase defect). Corresponds with the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle.
The second half of the menstrual cycle after ovulation when the corpus luteum secretes large amounts of progesterone; receptivity of the endometrium to implantation of a fertilized egg depends on progesterone produced in the luteal phase.
the last 2 weeks of a menstrual cycle after an egg has been released, and during which the ovary produces progesterone.
The third phase of the menstrual cycle, following ovulation, when the uterus is prepared to receive the fertilized egg.
Days of the menstrual cycle after ovulation when progesterone is produced by the corpus luteum
A segment of the menstrual cycle, after ovulation but before menstruation.
The second half of the female menstrual cycle, dominated by the LH surge and subsequent production of progesterone by the corpus luteum. It begins with ovulation and ends with menses.
The second half (post-ovulatory) of the woman's menstrual cycle, marked by elevated progesterone levels
That period (about two-thirds) of the estrous cycle during which the CL forms and produces progesterone.
The days of a menstrual cycle following ovulation and ending with menses. A luteal phase defect is a cause of infertility.
A term used to describe the part of the menstrual period from ovulation to menstruation which is usually between 12 and sixteen days. Most women's luteal phase is a regular length and variation of more than a day or two is highly unusual. A luteal phase of eleven days or shorter may cause fertility problems as a fertilised egg does not have time to implant in the womb before the onset of menstruation. Find out more...
This term refers to the latter half of the menstrual cycle during which the corpus luteum produces progesterone to maintain the endometrial lining of the uterus, in the hopes of an egg being fertilized. When the corpus luteum stops producing progesterone, it disintegrates and your period begins. A defective luteal phase refers to when the length of time during which progesterone is produced (between ovulation and the onset of menstruation), is insufficient to allow a fertilized egg to implant itself to the uterine wall, causing the lining to begin to disintegrate. The luteal phase is usually no longer than 10 days in length.
The last 14 days of a menstrual cycle which is associated with progesterone production.
The period that includes the second half of the menstrual cycle. During this time, ovulation has taken place and progesterone is released by the corpus luteum.
Second half of menstrual cycle; hormonally dominated by progesterone secreted by corpus luteum. Compare follicular phase.
A phase of the menstrual cycle when progesterone is produced.
The days of a menstrual cycle following ovulation and ending with menses, (usually lasting between 12 and 14 days.)
The third phase of the menstrual cycle. Ovulation has occurred, and the corpus luteum produces progesterone primarily to maintain the thickness of the endometrium lining in the uterus in the event that fertilization has occurred. If fertilization has not occurred, progesterone production stops and the endometrium lining is shed during menstruation.
Post-ovulatory phase of a woman's cycle. The corpus luteum produces progesterone, which cause the uterine lining to thicken to support the implantation and growth of the embryo.
The luteal phase (or secretory phase) is the latter phase of the estrous cycle in animals, and the menstrual cycle in humans and great apes. It begins with the formation of the corpus luteum and ends in either pregnancy or luteolysis. The main hormone controlling this stage is progesterone, which is significantly higher during the luteal phase then during other phases of the cycle.Bagnell, C. 2005.
