Progesterone levels remain constant throughout a woman’s menstrual cycle. True or False

Answer : False. Progesterone levels fluctuate during the menstrual cycle. They are low during the follicular phase (from menstruation to ovulation) and rise sharply after ovulation during the luteal phase to prepare the uterine lining for a possible pregnancy. If pregnancy doesn’t occur, progesterone levels drop, triggering menstruation. These fluctuations are crucial for regulating the cycle and maintaining reproductive health.
