This period of advertised fertility is known as oestrus, "estrus" or heat. [9] In species that experience estrus, females are generally only receptive to copulation while they are in heat [9] (dolphins are an exception). [10] In the estrous cycles of most placentals, if no fertilization
Menstrual cycle The menstrual cycle is a series of natural changes in hormone production and the structures of the uterus and ovaries of the female reproductive system that makes pregnancy possible. The ovarian cycle controls the production and release of eggs and the cyclic release of estrogen and progesterone. The uterine cycle governs the preparation and maintenance of the lining of the ...
The extended estrous period of the bonobo (reproductive-age females are in heat for 75% of their menstrual cycle) has been said to have a similar effect to the lack of a "heat" in women. While concealed human ovulation may have evolved in this fashion, extending estrus until it was no longer a distinct period, as paralleled in the bonobo, this ...
The follicular phase, also known as the preovulatory phase or proliferative phase, [1] is the phase of the estrous cycle (or, in primates [2] for example, the menstrual cycle) during which follicles in the ovary mature from primary follicle to a fully mature Graafian follicle.
Humans do not display any such obvious physical signals of fertility, but may still experience a subtle estrus-like state. Most female mammals experience reproductive fertility cycles.
