Q) If you have a patient in whom you lesion the progesterone secretion with an anti progesterone drug. You do this on day 17-24 of a NORMAL menstrual cycle. What happens? (Pick either the cervical mucus will be thicker than normal OR LH secretion is higher than normal) WHY?
A) The LH secretion will be elevated because in the Luteal Phase, both the estrogen and progesterone is ANTI-LH release. Suppressing the progesterone will ELEVATE the LH during this Luteal phase. (At the LH surge, the estrogens becomes PRO-LH and PRO-FSH).
