The other 50 per cent experience a post-ovulatory phase of 10 to 12 or 15 to 16 days.

In a classic graph, the temperature jogs along with small changes in the first half, or pre-ovulatory phase, of the cycle.
4.
She hypothesized that ovulatory phase odors would lengthen cycles, follicular phase odors would shorten cycles, and luteal phase odors would have no effect.

At this time, if conception is not desired, it may be necessary to avoid unprotected sex during the pre-ovulatory phase ( first half ) of the cycle, and rely on temperature changes alone to confirm post-ovulatory infertility.
10.
An example of this is seen in the menstrual cycle, where hormones are secreted to create changes in the ovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle and an increased likelihood for an anterior cruciate ligament injury has been demonstrated.
