* [[The_Ovary_-Corpus_Luteum_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|Corpus luteum]] produces progesterone.
* [[The_Ovary_-Corpus_Luteum_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|Corpus luteum]] produces progesterone.
* Progesterone inhibits further [[The_Ovary_-_Follicles_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|follicular development]] and triggers rejection behaviour.
* Progesterone inhibits further [[The_Ovary_-_Follicles_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|follicular development]] and triggers rejection behaviour.
* If there is no pregnancy, luteolysis occurs and the [[The_Ovary_-Corpus_Luteum_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|corpus luteum]] is broken down. This allows a new [[The_Ovary_-_Follicles_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|follicle]] to develop.
* If there is no pregnancy, [[The_Ovary_-_Corpus_Luteum_Regression-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|luteolysis]] occurs and the [[The_Ovary_-Corpus_Luteum_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|corpus luteum]] is broken down. This allows a new [[The_Ovary_-_Follicles_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|follicle]] to develop.
* The overlapping nature of follicular waves and the fact that the female is receptive even if the [[The_Ovary_-_Follicles_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|follicle]] is not mature enough to [[The_Ovary_-_Ovulation_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|ovulate]] makes it difficult to determine from behaviour when the optimum time for mating is.
