Menstrual Cycle Day 15

4 Comments

What is happening internally?

The ovum (egg) travels through the fallopian tube, where it will be fertilized--if sperm are present. The ruptured follicle is now called the corpus luteum, and begins to release progesterone and a small amount of estrogen. Progesterone levels continue to rise, and estrogen levels plummet.

Outward symptoms:

Cervical fluid dries up, or may be sticky. The cervix rotates down to low, firm and closed. Basal body temperature experiences a thermal shift of about .4 a degree.
