Summary
The luteal phase is defined as the period between ovulation and either the establishment of a pregnancy or the onset of menses two weeks later [1]. Following ovulation, the luteal phase of a natural cycle is characterized by the formation of a corpus luteum, which secretes steroid hormones, including progesterone and estradiol (E2).
