42
Q

Secretory phase Day 19

A

Sceretory nonciliated clls begin to secrete glycoprotein and mucopolysaccharide content into the gland lumen.

43
Q

Sceratory phase Day 21-24

A

Stroma becomes edematous

44
Q

Secretory phase Day 22-25

46
Q

window of implantation

A

Day 20-24

47
Q

Secretory phase Day 22 and 25

Secretory phase endometrium undergoes striking changes associated with predecidual transfomation of the upper two thirds of the functionalis layer.

48
Q

Ovarian progesterone production peaks during the midluteal phase

A

25-50 mg/d

49
Q

Secretory phase Day 19
