LH>ESTROGEN>FSH=LH>PROGESTRONE
LH RISES (0-7 DAYS) AND THAN DECLINES. WHEN ITS IS DECLINING ESTROGEN LEVEL IS RISING(3-11 DAYS). LH RISES AGAIN THIS TIME ALONG WITH FSH. PROGESTRONE RISES AFTER OVULATION SO IS THE LAST ONE TO RISE ( DAY 13-21)

no asmi..testosterone in women is from theca cells...it also decreases...
DHEA from adrenal is not under control of gonaditropins

Peekay u mentioned LH rises 0-7 days and then declines? i am looking at the figure 7-20: The menstrual cycle on page 278 of BRS Physio 2nd ed and i see FSH higher than LH from day 1-9. So how come u didnt write FSH before LH in your explanation. Please clarify :shock:
