When do progesterone levels rise to their highest point during the female hormonal cycle?
Correct Answer: Between ovulation and the beginning of menstruation
Description: The corpus luteum is the only source of progesterone production, except for minute quantities secreted from the follicle before ovulation. The corpus luteum is functional between ovulation and the beginning of menstruation, during which time the concentration of LH is suppressed below the level achieved during the preovulatory LH surge
