The luteal phase is physiologically dependent on luteinizing hormone (LH) for the maintenance of corpus luteum function and the regulation of progesterone and estradiol secretion, as evidenced by [1], [2], and [3].

claimAdministration of Luteinizing hormone (LH) or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) during the luteal phase can extend corpus luteum function for an additional two weeks.

claimThe secretion of progesterone and estradiol during the luteal phase is episodic and correlates closely with pulses of Luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion.

claimThe corpus luteum's life span depends on continued luteinizing hormone (LH) support, and its function declines by the end of the luteal phase unless human chorionic gonadotropin is produced by a pregnancy.

claimThe life span of the corpus luteum can be reduced by continuous Luteinizing hormone (LH) administration during the follicular or luteal phase, reduced LH concentration, decreased LH pulse frequency, or decreased LH pulse amplitude.

claimThe frequency and amplitude of LH secretion during the follicular phase regulates subsequent luteal phase function.

claimThe secretion of progesterone and estradiol during the luteal phase is episodic and correlates closely with pulses of LH secretion.

claimAdministration of LH or HCG during the luteal phase can extend corpus luteum function for an additional two weeks.

claimThe frequency and amplitude of Luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion during the follicular phase regulates subsequent luteal phase function.

claimLuteinizing hormone may contribute to the termination of the luteal phase by downregulating its own receptor.

claimAfter ovulation, the amount of progesterone secreted and the length of the luteal phase are dependent on repeated Luteinizing hormone (LH) injections.

referenceIn a 2007 study published in 'Hormones and Behavior' (Vol. 51, No. 1), 40 judges rated photos of 30 women taken during their luteinizing hormone (LH) surge (ovulation) versus their non-fertile luteal phase to determine if they were trying to look attractive.
