The luteal phase is directly responsible for the physiological development of the endometrial lining, as it involves the secretion of progesterone to thicken and maintain the lining in preparation for potential pregnancy as described in [1], [2], and [3]. Furthermore, the luteal phase provides the necessary environment for a fertilized egg to attach to this lining [4], and the metabolic demands of building this lining during the phase can influence hunger levels [5].
