The luteal phase is the third and final phase of the menstrual cycle, following ovulation. Also referred as as days post ovulation (DPO), luteal length is the number of days between ovulation up to the day before the start of your next period. A normal luteal phase is considered to be between 10 and 16 days. What's happening during the luteal phase: the corpus luteum (which forms from the follicle that released the egg at ovulation) produces progesterone primarily to maintain the thickness of the endometrium lining in the uterus in the event that fertilization occurs. In a nutshell (or, shall we say eggshell?!), our bodies prepare for the possibility of pregnancy by creating a nurturing environment onto which the fertilized egg can attach. But, if fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum runs out of steam: progesterone production stops and the endometrium lining is shed via the process we all know and love - menstruation.
