Progesterone secretion does not occur during the follicular phase of the ovarian cycle. It is secreted during the luteal phase. The follicular phase is characterized by the development of a follicle in the ovary and the secretion of estrogen, which stimulates the proliferative phase of the uterine cycle. The menstrual phase of the uterine cycle occurs during the first few days of the follicular phase, when the endometrial lining is shed.
