High levels of progesterone during a 28-day cycle would suppress follicle maturation. Progesterone is a hormone released after ovulation and its primary role is to maintain the uterine lining for a potential pregnancy. It inhibits the release of FSH and LH, which are necessary for the maturation of follicles, thus preventing the initiation of a new cycle while the current cycle is still in progress.
