The correct answer is: secretory phase and lasts for about 13-14 days
The menstrual cycle has three important phases- (i) Follicular or proliferative phase, which lasts for about 7-9 days and is a highly variable phase. (ii) Ovulatory phase, the egg ruptures from the ovary on 14th day. (iii) Secretory phase, which lasts for about 13-14 days till the corpus luteum is survived and is the most constant phase.
