The body prepares for a potential pregnancy:
The follicle that burst to release the egg turns into the corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone (making this second half of your cycle progesterone dominant)
- Progesterone is known to make everything sloowww down. She peaks around day 21
- Oestrogen is still present but not as she was in the first half, nor higher than progesterone right now (also peaks around day 21).
As both hormones are present and in play, this is also known as the high hormone phase. More hormones = more going on internally (to their respective roles)
Progesterone prepares the uterus for implantation of the potentially fertilised egg. Around Day 21, if no successful fertilisation thus nor implantation, the uterine wall prepares for breakdown.
