Explanation
The secretory phase, also known as the post-ovulatory phase, is the third phase of the menstrual cycle.

The secretory phase is primarily regulated by the hormone progesterone, which is produced by the corpus luteum, a temporary structure formed in the ovary after the release of an egg.
