Mid cycle pain

After ovulation we get 9 to 11 days of corpus luteum releasing progesterone to maintain anticipated pregnancy until
It notes the absence of pregnancy
earliest histological sign of progesterone action
BASAL VACUOLATION
Menstrual cycle phase with LOW progesteron SLOWLY RISING estrogen levels

Menstrual cycle phase with LOW progesteron RAPIDLY RISING estrogen levels
Late follicular phase
Elevated level of progesterone
