Progesterone secretion does not occur during the follicular phase of the ovarian cycle. It is produced during the luteal phase that follows ovulation. The follicular phase is characterized by FSH and LH secretion which stimulates the growth of follicles in the ovary and the secretion of estrogen. This hormone stimulates the growth of the endometrium (proliferative phase) in the uterus in preparation for possible embryo implantation. The menstrual phase is the shedding of the endometrial lining if fertilization does not occur.
