The correct answer is: both FSH and LH levels are low in the luteal phase
No new follicles develop in the luteal phase of menstrual cycle. It is because during this phase, Luteinising Hormone (LH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) levels decrease. Instead, the already ruptured follicle closes after releasing the egg and forms a corpus luteum during luteal phase, which produces progesterone.
