Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the secretory phase, which occurs after ovulation, progesterone levels are at their highest. This is because the corpus luteum, which forms from the follicle after ovulation, produces progesterone to prepare the uterine lining for potential implantation of a fertilized egg.
