* [[Corpus Luteum - Anatomy & Physiology|Corpus luteum]] produces progesterone.
* [[Corpus Luteum - Anatomy & Physiology|Corpus luteum]] produces progesterone.
* Progesterone inhibits further [[Follicles - Anatomy & Physiology|follicular development]] and triggers rejection behaviour.
* Progesterone inhibits further [[Follicles - Anatomy & Physiology|follicular development]] and triggers rejection behaviour.
* If there is no pregnancy, [[The_Ovary_-_Corpus_Luteum_Regression- Anatomy & Physiology|luteolysis]] occurs and the [[Corpus Luteum - Anatomy & Physiology|corpus luteum]] is broken down. This allows a new [[Follicles - Anatomy & Physiology|follicle]] to develop.

* The overlapping nature of follicular waves and the fact that the female is receptive even if the [[Follicles - Anatomy & Physiology|follicle]] is not mature enough to [[Ovulation - Anatomy & Physiology|ovulate]] makes it difficult to determine from behaviour when the optimum time for mating is.
