Progesterone and FSH are both key hormones involved in the regulation of the menstrual cycle [1], with FSH stimulating the ovaries to secrete progesterone [2]. Furthermore, their levels are biologically linked, as a decline in progesterone levels contributes to the elevation of FSH in the late luteal phase {fact:3, fact:9}.

claimAn increase in GnRH pulsatile secretion, secondary to a decline in both estradiol and progesterone levels, contributes to the elevation of FSH levels in the late luteal phase.

claimIn the late luteal phase, FSH levels are influenced by an increase in GnRH pulsatile secretion, which occurs secondary to a decline in both estradiol and progesterone levels.

procedureThe menstrual cycle proceeds in five steps: (1) The pituitary gland produces FSH, which signals the ovaries to produce estrogen. (2) When estrogen reaches a specific level for a set duration, the pituitary gland produces LH. (3) LH triggers ovulation, causing the ovary to release an egg into the fallopian tube. (4) The ovary produces progesterone to prepare the uterus for pregnancy. (5) If conception does not occur, hormone levels drop, the menstrual lining stops developing, and the lining is shed as a menstrual period.
