* The corpus luteum reaches full size at 4-5 days after ovulation but does not protrude from the ovarian surface.
* The corpus luteum reaches full size at 4-5 days after ovulation but does not protrude from the ovarian surface.

* The corpus luteum of the cycle (non-pregnant) starts to regress on about the 12th day of the cycle. At the time of [[Corpus_Luteum_Regression|regression]], there is a fall in blood progesterone concentration.
