Question

During the postovulatory phase, the hormone that is most dominant is ______.

Options

• progesterone

• estrogens

• luteinizing hormone (LH)

• follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

Answer 1

During the postovulatory phase, the hormone that is most dominant is progesterone.

Explanation:

Progesterone prepares the uterus for pregnancy by maintaining the endometrial lining and inhibiting the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to prevent further ovulation during this period. Progesterone is therefore the most dominant hormone in this phase.
