Menstrual Cycle Duration

A typical menstrual cycle lasts for 28 days, but can vary from 21 to 35 days.

Corpus Luteum

The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine structure that forms in the ovaries after ovulation.
It produces progesterone, which helps thicken the uterine lining to prepare for a fertilized egg.
